There have been quite a lot of posts lately about things the admin need to do, or owe us, or should have been doing all this time. I'm one of the primary ones doing this, so I'd like to reverse course a bit and urge all of you who read this to post something you've appreciated lately. Small things, big things, it doesn't matter. What would you like to thank the admin for? Has your god went out of their way to rp with you and give you a reason to stick around? Has there been a changelog or QoL report that has really brightened Lusternia for you?
Post it here!
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

The Curiomarket has really helped us out quite a bit. Kudos to whomever coded that monstrosity!
@Ianir for putting in as much time and sacrifice as you have over the last few years. No words can describe how much we appreciated you while you were our main Anomaly, and will still appreciate you as the legacy of your work continues to benefit the game.
@Orael for stepping up to the plate. Yudhe knows you have your work cut out for you, but I suspect that most of us have faith that you'll kick up some momentum and really iron out a slew of outstanding projects.
@Nocht for being amazing since your return. Working with you as your OH is a pleasure, and I really like the new shinies! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of you around.
@AllTheOtherAdmin who are contributing to the game in ways I don't personally see or even realize. You will always be appreciated, especially those of you who are volunteers and committing so much of your personal time to your roles!
Lastly, to whoever controlled Daiua a couple of weeks ago and came to Glomdoring for a visit and a conversation. That was the first mob possession I'd seen in months, and it was really nice to see Someone giving a relatively quiet Glom some love.
I'm looking forward to what the coming months bring!

Ya'll rock.
A couple of days later, found her at the Triple Junction Inn to ask if any progress had been made, which turned to a topic about the bouncing balls, which in turn lead to that shady gnome outside the aetherplex, Which lead to talking about the gearboxes, which lead to talking about the scavenger hunts in general being run by not-very-nice people when it's not ascension, which lead to me remembering about the weather balloon from the ice angels that I still have, which lead to wondering if Sepehr Skytamer's balloon is being interfered with by the sinkers' balloons. ... Very eclectic conversation, that.
When I returned recently, I got a few nice little welcome back notes from divine. That was really sweet and made me feel as if I might have almost been missed.
I was also really happy to see some quality of life things like, the the ability pose clothing and hide clothing. They don't make one whit of difference around pk or balance but they are SO NICE to have. Anything that enhances RP or gives us flexibility in it is awesome.
The Anniversary scavenger hunt was great! Quiz was very fun too. Those must be a bunch of work and it's appreciated.
Adding the cloak we gave into the description of Ghani's Gaudiguch spy when he turned up naked.
The transmology event a few months ago. Splitting it into sections was good for spreading involvement for different people who were awake (as long as we relayed information...) and the Twitter alerts helped plan my time. Coming up with a new plan on the fly and new objects to account for various sensitivities and the method of revealing the info were both brilliant. Also grateful for speeding up resets when it got to 5am my time!
The celebration of three guilds and the characters you introduced - really really cool.
Items for the 500 CE festivities, especially the pendant and the kouseki flower firework.
Ein.
The way the glow bats bite balloons when they're near them.
Event posts. Always event posts
I wish I had the creativity, RP skill and time to properly reciprocate! I hope the admin don't feel they are wasting their time and energy without getting something out of it.
Also, just general kudos for @Estarra and team for being so transparent lately with the game direction, and for being so approachable. Very cool.

Also more raves for the Admin Team with all their work lately and to come with the upcoming events!

@Ianir for the endless dedication to this universe and how nice and helpful he is.
@Maylea because she is adorable.
To all the people who created and have been involved in the event leading to Lyraa Ey Rielys. It had been a long time since I had this much fun participating in an event. I am eager to see where it will go from here.
I appreciate what you do and I want to say thank you.
