I get that, I really do. I also know there's been a lot of change on the site in past year, but we're heading towards what should be the end of the BIG changes. A lot of this has been a learning process for the Owner
@Ron Bron and for the staff adjusting to his style of leadership and management, and most importantly his vision. I've been through 3 ownership changes as part of the Stratics Staff, and there's always been some change, but yes nothing like this. I've spent most of the past year helping through either assisting with testing or acting as a sounding board and playing devils advocate when it comes to the changes that have been made and are still in the process of happening and through it all there has been one resounding theme to all the talks, testing, and outlining. What can we do that will ultimately benefit and improve the way the community enjoys the site, promote community interactions, create site growth, enhance functionality, ensure sustainability, and improve usability. We've discussed short and long term, from how can we get the community more active, to what to do when UO shuts down at some distant date, all so that we can have a plan in place and create a community focused environment that will hopefully last much longer than the game it is dedicated to does. And we regularly discuss feedback from the community and the staff, so please don't think we're doing this with no regard to you or the community at large we're doing quite the opposite. Unfortunately to do some of the things we want to improve the site in multiple ways, changes are needed, and wanted to let you know the changes that have been going in weren't considered lightly they are the result of months of discussion, research, more discussion, and planning.
