Official Notice - Development Team Strike

[QuinnZai]

I was waiting for the weekend, but slowly I find it harder and harder to not think "they might be just trying to wait for it to go away".

I do hope that's not the strategy because it will not go away.

Staff asked for some breathing space to have a discussion.
Even the most patient will say by now that enough time was given.

Therefore, I would say it is time for a statement.
This insecurity is causing a lot of damage still.

I agree, it does seem the admins have pushed this issue to the side. However, I don't think their strategy is "slide it under the rug". Because of the amount of activity they've had in Conn recently and the event in Magellan, I'm getting the feeling that their strategy is to get back on friendly terms with the player base first. Once they've regained trust and respect, they will probably drop a thread about their decision. None of this would be necessary, though, if they were planning on complying with the dev's demands.

Idk, we'll see...

Sadly, like in real life, you can't just forget about everything they've done in the past because they are trying to fix up all the issues they currently have. They can try as hard as they like to repair the damage they have done but the majority of us will probably not forget it. Which means if they continue to make poor decisions, another fallout will happen and it will be much worse each time.

A clean slate, in this case, would mean completely new admins that have few ties to factions but have the ability to do their jobs transparently, efficiently and without any bias toward the community or each other. As well as be mature about it and have the common sense needed to make good decisions. Ask yourself, how are you going to get a team of people like that from the remaining community? I don't see it happening.

I hope it works out for you guys. Just sometimes you need to let go of things that are lost causes.
