Kimberly: I truely do appreciate your donations, and the time you have taken to write this post to me. People do not realize they can put the packies on ignore, and hence the problem ceases permanently.
As soon as I can get enough resources together to mass-produce runes, and are able to start gating from Luna bank, I will start doing so. In the meantime, please consider the following words.
Bear in mind, the following text is not meant in disrespect to anyone, but is simply reasoning on my part that I humbly ask that anyone that has complaints about the packies consider:
"I have noticed that many of you complain about the broadcast packies, that they spam up where you hang out and chat with your friends.
But as I have often said before:
You can put them on ignore, just like any player.
But, of course, the response some of you may come back with would be,
'I shouldn't have to put them on ignore!'
...and then you refuse to do so.
So, if you refuse to put them on ignore, a task that would take 20 seconds tops, then I humbly submit that it is YOU who choose to listen to them.
So, to complain about them does no good whatsoever.
"I do not mean to sound harsh...
"but, if you are not willing to put them on ignore, then it is you that have chosen to put up with the text.
If you ignore them, the problem is gone, and you can chat away
not hearing a single word from the packies.
"That said, if you still refuse to ignore them, then it is my prayer
that the hearing of God's Word benifits you, and that God moves your heart, so that you may come to a better understanding of the One who truely loves you.
"It is not a personal attack, nor anything else you (corporate) have mentioned. The very reason there are other cultures and beliefs in this game is why the church is on Sonoma, Napa, and Lake Austin, with witnessing and answering questions on the other english speaking shards. Believe it or not, some people actually listen to the packies, and then come to me with honest questions. I have seen people saved, healed, many misconceptions corrected, and the love of Christ spread. So, if God is blessing in this manner, and fruit is being produced, then this is not a bad thing.
"In short: the solution? Every week, I use the same packies that were used the previous week. I am no longer purchasing fresh packies, but stabling the ones I use, to be used again. So, once people put them on ignore, they will never be heard again.
"Jesus as well met with some very harsh criticism, many not wanting him to preach because it tred on their beliefs and traditions. But He knew what He was doing, and still does. I am not Jesus, but I follow His example and spread the Word to those who will listen. Those that don't want to can put me and my packies on ignore."
Taking the above into consideration, there is one more topic:
To ask that I do not witness or preach or tell others about Jesus outside of the church's four walls is something that I cannot do. The church isn't just the four walls of a building... and God/God's Word is not, nor can it be confined or boxed. It is meant to be told to everyone that will listen. So that is what I must always do, though some may disagree and be offended. Consider the above about Jesus. Jesus offended many people, but others did hear and came to Him. The missions on UO are no different. Many were offended and hurled all sorts of insults, though none were ever returned. But in all that chaos, some did hear that have come to me later on and asked questions, and some have literally come to Christ right in UO!
So, I can't stop telling others about Him, not just inside the church, but outside as well. God puts people at just the right place at just the right time.
That is all, I will say no more.
Be blessed, and happy hunting
