I think we're in a good place right now. Anecdotally at least, the rule has been effective at accomplishing what it set out to do and most people have cooled down about it now.

I believe it is fair to say that the ugliness is far behind us, and after reviewing the contents of this thread I can't exactly call its contents an outcry.

I think continuing to go forward from a place of mutual cooperation and understanding is, perhaps, the best thing we can do currently.
A helpful support-shape person. Please feel free to poke me at any time if you need assistance and/or want pictures of cute puppies.

While waiting for a lifting of the ruling or other good things so players will log back in. As it is Im more inclinqued to form cliques with people I already know then trying get know somebody new based I dont know what their behavior is along with other social anxieties. People have not cooled down. Just not logging in due the drama.

Player numbers haven't dramatically changed honestly, some fluctuation that can be defined by other factors as well. The server has seen similar fluctuations usually when new games have been released as well. It's probably not the answer people want to hear whom are pro-lingering in OOC room, but well... sorry?

Forming cliques isn't inherently bad, it is infact a very natural behavior, but if forming cliques gets to the point where you're actively declining to meet new people, that's where the issue rises. Of course you can't know if things will turn out good when meeting someone new, but I think that's easily a risk work taking since on the other hand you might be neglecting perfectly fine players whom have done nothing to earn a cold shoulder.

I'm not saying you shouldn't make a stand for your values, but doing so at the expense of others isn't probably going to make much of a case that helps anyone. And that goes for both sides :P

It's Spring break too, who the hell wants to log in and play when it's spring break :D. We can all agree it was a poorly worded announcement and ruling and try to move on yeah?

I dunno, man. It seems pretty normal to me.

Basically, if you guys are hopping off when you're done roleplaying/grinding for loot and items (who doesn't already do this?) rather than congregating in the OOC room it makes perfect sense that the numbers would be lower. Because you're not online? That doesn't mean the server is dying.

Also, in the past it was fairly common to see a situation when HALF of the population was standing in the OOC room chatting and balsting spells. Meaning they are not available for interaction when you head down.

The OOC shenanigans were the second best thing about this server. RIP silliness, you will always be close to my heart.

I think this topic has beaten a dead horse with another dead horse. What was meant to be said, was said, that held any relevance to this discussion. I suggest a lock on this thread, since it ran its course and reached a conclusion.

Thinking much the same. Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts and concerns with us. I hope we have done a sufficient job of addressing them. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: The continued health and enjoyment of our lovely city. While it may not always be the easiest thing, we do appreciate the opinions that are shared, and will continue to do our best to make Sigil a great place to be.

Since we seem to have moved on to unrelated discussion, I'm going to be closing the thread for the time being. If there are any continued concerns, please feel free to discuss them with me or any other member of our staff. We're always watch I mean... listeni I mean... Um. Approachable! That is a suitable non-creepy way to end that. Mmmyes.
I'm Slimy Doom. I'm just your standard ooze, pretending to be a DM.

Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have questions about the following:

* Athar
* Dustmen
* Bleakers
* Personal plots
* If you find something wrong with our wiki that needs to be looked at
* Anything else you think I might can help with.
