They are. It doesn't mean we want those to be known, but I do agree that we slacked a bit on the communication. Mainly due to none of us having the patience to deal with the forum.

It's meant to be that way. Religions first, everything else later. None of the work me and Argon have done so far has been implemented because of that. Hence why we're first in line on that train.

We answer all PM's. If it's something I can solve right away, I'll answer it directly.If it's something that needs to be voted by the entire staff, I'll take it up to vote and provide answer when a solution has been reached. As far as PM's go, it's that easy, I get them straight on my phone the moment they are sent.

what the fuck is your problem here ?

If you have nothing else to say, just be quiet.

I think discontent and even anger is valid here, but not in the tone of the post but as a native English speaker, I suspect much of the tone we are inferring is translation issues.

I mean personally I believe the real fix for the adventures guild is to pull it out. It has always been plagued with bugs that inevitably get fixed and are never truly fixed, in the time I've been playing regular here (not including the first year repsak was running the shard) it has been "fixed" three times and still remain(s)(ed) broken? Learning how to work with data files is valid but that could have been learned through other means without fixing a seriously dilapidated pkg.

Religions, well I think a major point of criticism is that no one on the staff truly understood the scope with which the religion system interacts with many different systems. Aside from this I have my own personal enmity with which it is to be implemented and some of the stuff that will remain present which I shan't discuss here as most of you who read the forums already probably know and if not I've icq you can ask me over.

Finally, the vote which I don't recall seeing, let alone taking part in with regards to the server continuing in beta before religions and if there was a vote made information was undoubtedly put forth stating that stuff was closer to completion than it appears now in hindsight it was. Time I get it is a precious commodity but to dismiss people's frustration by sweeping it under the rug or blaming players for failures of others in "power" has a very real tendency to make things worse.

Expect nasty grams on the forums, this on every shard I've both played and staffed on is the norm. And with 4 classes mostly affected by no religions being present and one of those classes having an announcement stating they're to be nerfed well before tomes are even out in like October 2015, that's a significant percentage of characters and players affected. I've offered to help with some scripting and will finish the name change stuff hopefully over the next couple weeks but that's it for me in terms of working on and relearning escript for the benefit of Pangaea. Again I shan't air my reasons here I've icq if you've inquiries as to my reasons but I said I'd do the name change thing and carpet stuff, 50% of my plans are done with the carpet stuff though it could probably be improved upon which maybe I'll do but it'll be publicly available to any shard owner that wants to use it so not unique by any means to Pangaea. Sorry for off topic, thoughts flow through my head and I need to get them down on paper so to speak.
