i mean seriously (and i feel as if this needs to be a separate post from what i just posted) the biggest problem here is the totally lack of communication between players and staff. it's what i meant between there being a fine line between being a player and a staff member, and it get's really hard to hold the role of both at the same time, and to sometimes lose your focus when you concentrate to hard on the other

we can't even make threads about how to save graal. the communication break is so terrible that the staff owners don't even let us post about an obvious problem that we all seem to care about in one way or another

of course people think that stefan and unixmad don't care about graal. it's an understand perspective since we haven't heard anything out of them. we get no information out of them other than the rules they set out, so much so that when stefan makes a post (in a thread that was hard enough to discuss about in the first place) it's vantage points are so extreme as to "stefan is busting his ass just to keep graal alive" and "stefan doesn't care about graal at all"

we are getting nowhere by adding new super moderators to the forum unless those moderators are going to be taking some responsibility for getting some quality discussion in about graal. i'm not the type of person who is going to personally attack someone while discussion the finer points of graal subjective-opinions (like i got out of hand with dusty and apologized for) and almost no one else around here is either - we just want to actually start discussing and doing something rather than fighting for the ability to discuss it. actions like these (which i have in no way intention of somehow adding into the fray SN) in adding people to moderate us only makes the apathy grow stronger

either we need to start looking like a community with an owner that works together with us, since this is a development platform and a forum based around that development platform, or graal is going to stagnate at a level of MMO-mediocrity that only it's most hardcore and devoted fans will ever keep up with it

in fact i think we're at that point right now don't you think?
