I know the idea here is to make ppl think before they go off willy nilly slaying things , and to encourage rp but i really think you are losing players ...which is what you sorely need at this stage .. perhaps making the goblins in the mines the first encounter is not such a good idea .. since this place got up and running i see ppl come on... die .. and leave never to return ... also i think that puts the players that -are-here off as they have no fresh ppl to meet and its getting a tad boring ..

Yeah especially when theres low player and DM attendance all the time, you can't even go solo or do anything to pass the time to wait for more players to join. Well unless your higher lvl.. Well I guess you could always go kill badgers heh..

I might as well say what everyone's thinking in this post. If you're going to responsibly create a server, don't host it if you won't play it. I don't care what the excuses are, even if they're good. If you're going to make a server and keep it up, don't abandon it and decide to play some other server and then just leave semi-admin to the helper DMs and let things play out. There's a lot of things the players want to see and we want to see too, but we can't do it. Now, there are three things you can do. One is to stop playing other servers and apply a bit of time to reffing your own creation. Two is to go even further and just tell the host to stop hosting the server and press it into the good old Recycle Bin. Or, you can hand over admin powers to people who also still enjoy Kydor. I don't mind whatever you choose, but I'm trying to keep the players happy by myself and it ain't easy.
Edit: The time it takes for someone to respond to this will only prove my point further. 2-3 days is the expectancy..

Yea , I'm kinda torn here .... Bane got a job .. Boomer works ... when they started this they had alot more time .. Real life comes first, no matter what! I have been moaning at him to get a job for years ... so .. yea the choices are there as you said .. That was a bit harsh saying you dont care what the excuses are though! That makes you sound a bit young and immature

Grats on the job bane!
Too bad things had to work out this way though, I was having a lot of fun.
But as Juliette says: real life comes first and I am glad you found a job.
Take care over there!

lol... much as i must admit i agree to what you say DS... you wouldnt beleive how close i came to pulling the plug. Thats what bryan asked me to do. Instead i made you a dm, and promised i'd do my best to sort some stuff out.
when i hosted kydor, i had no job, i had 100% of time to work with it. Its a full time job... Now i have two full time jobs. The only reason i didnt let Bryan talk me into pulling the plug is because of those who do sitll play.
Kydor is mine and brys creation and theres plans and stuff we had and wanted to do, which are proving really dificult now with our limited time. the fact is, its 2 years of our work and ambition, both in content and intelectual work... And i know it sucks but we arent going to simply hand it over to anyone.
So yes, i admit i dont have the time as i did before, and no i cant do what is required from the head dm/host. So you want us to pull the plug?

I could always quit my job and come back here full time but after a month my internet would switch of due to the problem of paying the bills...
sucks, but the choice is yours... Keep it up and i try my best to be with you and do whats needed when i can, or we shut it down.

I think you should pull the plug or hand it over to someone who can make something of it. The server will just die a slow death if you don't.
To all players, try this place instead [contact me for the url] , they have too many dms and a shortage of players.

Well, i'd be more inclined to accept your opinion if this 1: wasnt your first post, 2: actually played on it for more than probably a day at best... and 3: didnt use our forums to promote some other server?
Dont think so mate.
and let me clarify. Handing the server over to a 3rd party wont happen.
The best i can do for you is to give the server to the players through me. They want something changed? something added? well then ive said i will do that.
The dms have the ability to run quests and storylines, and ive told them they can send me npc's if they want them putting in.
the module is very much in the hands of the players and these dms if they are up for it.
Sorry that i cant give 100% but if my second best isnt good enough then, well i gave it my best shot and can offer no more.

Well.. This server is awesome, I like the setting and its been fun but if theres barely any time to work on it and you dont want anyone else to than I'd say just shut it down until you have enough time.. I was on for like an hour and a half or so yesterday and I only saw like three players come through, only one stayed to play. Almost everyone stopped playing, it sucks...
