Good post, glad to hear ppl are staying too.
Im gonna stay, but dont know how much i will play as the attitudes at the moment are a bit depressing.
The main draw of this game for me is the community and friends ive made and ill stick around till that falls apart just hope it happens later rather than sooner.

And it feels good that some more oldies than me will stay to teach the newcomers about the spirit of the community of Atys.
And to those who believe that this game and its community will die due to some exodus of old members.
There are still people here that will stay. People who has been here since the beginning... people who still give a damn.
Maybe our/my/your faith is broken... but there is still hope.
I'm staying for now. Taking it one day at a time.

Frydeswinde combined heal-stanza and bomb-stanza to the best forum mass heal ever! Maybe the devs will catch up understanding their product someday soon.

Let me have a word about the french-speaking community, as you mentioned it in earlier posts.
I cannot compare to other servers, but there is a strong community of players that are very attached to a strong role-playing base. And even if some are playing very typical Matis/Zorai/Fyros/Tryker, there is also a consequent community of neutral/hominist/peaceful (call them whatever you want) players, some who choose that way to play a more difficult part in the Atys life. I would say that actually most of these roleplayers do have an atypical role, even a seemingly very conservatist matis might be an undercover rebel. This is to illustrate that most RP players are not exactly following the "rules" Nevrax set in place as typical roles for each faction. That community, usually, feels really bad about the first "Act" of Episode II and many players have already left the game -and for good- or at least lost interest in it.
If you read the comments, they go from lack of RP to the FvF or PvP orientation of the game. New behaviours, until now more or less unkown on the server, have appeared - call them PKers - to the point that in the Dunes, it is more important to kill the other camp's foragers (or to "camp the corpse" or to "camp the adversary's camp") than to protect yours in order to build the Temples, which should be, a far as I have understood, the final aim of the event.
So don't say that we're not vocal - we certainly are. Most of the comments I see on these english speaking forums, I retrieve them in some other ways on the french-speaking ones. Take also a look at the Role play section, many players express their feelings in a role play form.
