... Now what are we going to do about it?

Ok, I think we've pretty much beaten the dead horse on what happened to the server. I think it's time we focus on the "what are we going to do to fix it" part.

I think all of us who are active participants on the server agree that we want it to be successful and populated enough to allow for teaming without necessarily overspamming certain channels or zones.

So let's ask ourselves first, what is it we like about Exalted, and then second, what is it we think we, as a community and as individuals, can do to make the server a successful and popular server.

I'll begin:
1) I'll be honest in that I like Exalted's exclusivity in that you have to pay to play there. It means I'm dealing with players who have a financial interest in the game and I'm not dealing with RMT spammers. I could just as easily have stayed on my original server because I liked most of the players there and it was fairly well populated at most hours I played and I had a huge base that I had spent years building -- but instead, I chose to up-end everything and spend quite a few transfers and global slots moving all my toons over to Exalted.

2) While I don't think Exalted will necessarily surpass Virtue in terms of a RP nexus, I'd like to bring an opportunity for people who enjoy role play to have an outlet on Exalted. This is the reason I've opened up my supergroup to recruit new members on Exalted rather than it just being me and my alts. My work schedule is, sadly, haevy and unpredictable, so I can't necessarily solo-organize events, but I would be happy to be part of a larger community of SG leaders and activitists to set up server-wide events. I believe that by creating an active, user-supported event list, we will draw positive attention (and possibly participation) from the devs and position ourselves as one of the preeminent servers.

I wouldn't go there.

But others have created a channel for SG-Leaders and their members. It is a private channel. But if you're interested, and a leader, send me a tell ingame. Or find others of that particular channel. Its ran by around 15SGs on Exalted.

What we're going to do is, use global channels to look for teams, and do a little social-networking as well. The folks that want to make the server work will stick around, and the ones who do not care will not choose to be involved in any event. Thinking we can control the direction the server takes is a fools errand. The best we can do is control our own actions, and hope we find like-minded players to hang out with.

People will chose what they want to do or not. Having said that only half the population read the forums anyway.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I intend to keep on doing exactly what I have been... Soloing or playing with friends, chatting with the people who seem interesting and doing my absolute level best to ignore the Big Heads with their big SGs and their even bigger egos.

Maybe if enough of us refuse to play into their little status games or give them an audience to show off to they'll get bored and go away.

Take it from someone who's been there; they won't.
