Guys, I love you all. Really do. =)
But I have to say I think Marceline was one of the few to add something constructive to this thread. I don't think Ryzom is in no way falling apart. Quite the opposite. It's much more dynamic and populated than how I remember it before the merge.
First of all, congratulations to the Matis Government! I've been following your events in the forums and atm the Matis gov is one of the most active and creative out there.
Secondly, congratulations to the event team! It's a much underappreciated job. I know you guys are probably short staffed and overworked too, and given the circumstances, I think you do GREAT! Amazing job, thank you!
I've said this again and again in Arispotle, and I'll repeat it now: Ryzom gives the power to the players. That's the whole reason we have player governments and other RP tools. The event team is here merely to facilitate our own events and ideas. If you go to a government meeting without anything to add, sure it's going to be boring. You have to come up with your own stories (and they must fit the lore ofc, this is a mmoRPG after all).
There are OOC events like Atysmas and Halloween. Those are great. And then there are RP events. You may not want to RP and that's fine. The OOC events are there for you. But an RP event is meant to follow the lore and years of Ryzom story. Sure, inclusive events are generally preferable IMO, but if some events are not inclusive to all players, then you're always free to do your own events as Marceline has suggested.
