Low playercount

I don't quite know what's going on in this topic but I heard Valikorlia and I heard RP... I think Valikorlia has a ton of potential as a server, but they just don't tap into it. RP and gameplay can mix together... in fact there are TONS of muds out there that do just that. You can't imagine gameplay will destroy RP unless the staff just can't maintain both at the same time... if that's the case don't say you can't have both together, just say Valikorlia can't manage both together.

I used to be an rp nut, but after a while I got tired of having to follow the fad group on their quest to rp at the coolest new spot.

We were working on putting the two together, despite the rants of the traditional roleplayers. What happened is that I got lazy, Inverness got lazy, and the rest of the developers got lazy. Once the manager decided on a 40 day deadline, when we needed another 3-4 months at least, I kind of lost my drive. Why work on something when you know you can't finish it on time? To add to that, the manager wouldn't accept a player's offer to pay for 6 more months on the dev server.

It's not so much that it can't be done. It's just that it's a tall order, and nobody wants to help... even if they're going to get paid for it. Not a single person responded to that ad, where Omake offered to pay people to develop.

Would develop for free if other Valikorlian staff were willing to work and if the players actually want the server to grow. The latter is what's holding development back in my opinion.
