Did you apply to be an EM? If not why not? If you did, I guess the powers that be decided that you were not as good a fit for the job as someone else.Maybe if they have all the stress you listed above they should not have applied for the EM job rolleyes:Note to Popps. EM's are people too, and believe it or not, some of them actually have......lives. After working a 10 hour shift at the office/plant/etc., getting caught in rush hour traffic, eating a meal, tucking the kids in bed....
Then they log in to provide the UO community a service...
They are not paid......
For every kudos they get, they get bashed x30.....
Sometimes, the EM events fit into larger events, sometimes they don't. A lot probably depends on what is going on, what the EM's can actually do (game resource wise), and how much time they can give themselves to providing their service. Remember, for every minute they spend EMing, they are not playing on their normal shards.
Stop EM bashing. I dare say that most if not all EM's are doing a good job.
And I have participated in only a couple of EM events, and have recieved only a stealth cloak that everyone got.
24/7 events? Love them. Especially story arc ones like invasions, etc. Lots of fun, community, etc. But these are more in the realm of the developers and not the EM's. As it is, I suspect we will be getting something along this line for the rebuilding of magincia shortly.![]()
I am just pointing out that EMs were selected to shards where they do not play. Often, these shards are not in their own time zones as far as player base goes, so this in itself may limit the amount of time they can be available for an event. That, coupled with real life may limit the ability of EMs to hold large scale events at all times of day for all players.
