James, I agree 100%. I'd like to add on, if I may...

The ongoing obsession with people making playerworlds won't end. There will always be someone who may not have any skill at all, aspiring to be the future manager of his/her playerworld. And to those people, I say this to you:

Power is a nice thing to have. I have had power before in Graal. I once was Mithica's manager (albeit it was a short term for me, no complaints about it either.) Before that point, I always wanted to have the power to make all the decisions, but I quickly realized that I was unfit to lead. I openly admit that I do not have the skill it takes to maintain a server the way it should be maintained. It's not about the lvl 4 RC, and the power, folks. It's about something you love to do, and do it because you love it.

Konidias for example...He has all the power someone can get in Graal, and his development for his playerworld is superb. Even without his GMship here, I'm pretty condifent that he'd still be making Oasis, not just for the RC, but because he puts the time, and effort into what he does, and he enjoys it. It shows in his work, it really does.

So please, before any of you decide to make a playerworld, make sure you're doing it not for the power, but for wanting to produce quality art that others can admire, and want to always come back to see more. Hell, in most cases, I think that being a LAT is more gratifying than being a manager (if you're good at levels.) Managership should be for those who are articulate, and skilled enough to handle it.

I believe this is the most intelligent post I have read here on these Forums, I agree Management is not for everyone , it is one big headache and you really have to love what you do and survive of very few comments on what a good job your are doing(that is if you are).It takes a while to form; plan and shape your PW to what you want to see in it and for the enjoyment of all the players, you can have the best levels and best scripts on Graal but with bad Staff and bad Management it will all go down the toliet. Without that certain "air of friendlyness and Fun" on a server it is doomed. Each server has its own charm about it and the players just have to choose what enviroment they wish to play in , but like I said previously Management can and will destroy a server if handled badly.
