Ar7 - 6/24/2006 3:34 AM So to get rid of the secrecy and fear I would recommend involving the players more and giving them more decision power, after all GM are here to run quests not act as managment.
Perhaps ask players to set priorities for changes and game additions, because even if 20 things are working perfectly and 1 isnt, but that 1 is the most important for players, the results will be awful. So even though farming and flowers are interesting and add to RP, we can still RP them without the actual items. Much more important issues for players are summons, classes, spells, abilities etc. I do know that the manpower and time is limited, so it becomes even more important to focus on things the entire community needs. I am sure you will get a great response if you fix the broken PrC and maybe add new ones or add epics spells for the growing number of druids, clerics, wizards and sorcerers that are becoming epic. No matter the issue, if it is what the community wants it is great. So having polls on "What to develop next" and "What should we decide here" where players actually see that the poll affected the end result would have fantastic results. Of course L would have a final say, so it would resemble a presidental democracy instead of what it is now.
