You know, a lot of us were thinking it would be Hallifax getting the big population increase because they had become quite empty, but there seems to have been a diversion and they all went to Serenwilde. -Serenwilde-
Haezon is thoroughly embarrassed about the whole affair, not helped by the fact Glomdoring has the lowest Cultural activity score.
"You are so much bigger than you think you are," She says, fervently. "You are a beacon of hope that shines through the world with every step you take. You are My beacon, Gabriella, and you shine even into the darkest of nightmares."

The air sparkles with silver motes of light as a silken voice says, "You will see growth and strength where others will see weakness. You will walk with Us as a paragon of Serenwilde's power, for you have already walked this path before."

We did make Halli lose cultural center though by winning pestige. Small win, right?
Honestly though, I think if anyone wanted to do roleplay where they wanted to get a reaction out of Serenwilde, now would be a good time. Yes, it's daunting because they have so many people online, but you'd get an answer at least.
LIke @Daraius said, cycles. This has all happened before and will happen again. I say kuddos to Seren because I remember when they were absolutely dead themselves. It'll be our time again to shine soon enough.

....Jesus christ...I remember when seren struggled to have 2 people on, and i havn't even been playing for that long
now it's the most populated org
That's what happens when you have active divine who actually want to RP, do things with/for people, and so on.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
No nihilists around, hmmm? Really ought to work on those essays, buuuuuuut... Let's see what's going on at the aetherplex first real quick, mmmkay? Next thing I know I'm being given a tour of vortex AND THEN LOSING MY INNOCENCE FOREVER!

I occasionally like to pretend that I'm replanting all of these herbs to attract bees, and might one day form an alliance with the bees and take over the Basin. Then we could have a wonderful tea party with plenty of honey and the best tea blends.

I realised after reading this how it may have sounded, and hope @Isune didn't take offense. I meant mostly that Serenwilde had been languishing a lot lately without an active divine, and @Lisaera really perked it up.

Most definitely. @Lisaera swooped in and got everyone excited to play again.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

(): Ixchilgal says, "Astrology is also handy if you have a god complex, and enjoy
'favouring' and 'disfavouring' people. Not that we know anyone like that in the guild."

Two competing views on puns are offered by Aeromage Ayisdra Ysav'rai and Lord-Librarian Pro Tempore Portius Windwhisper. The former contends that the act of comprehending and responding to a pun is a waste of valuable cognitive resources, while the latter proposes that the practice of crafting puns is a valuable exercise for artists and scholars alike. Is there some harmonious middle ground between these opposing worldviews? Will the debate open a hitherto unknown rift among the populace as latent passions come to the fore? How many opportunities did I miss to pepper this paragraph with puns? Time will tell! Meanwhile, citizens interested in weighing in on this debate should examine "Puns and Why They are Counter-Productive to Productive Processes" by Ayisdra, and Lord Windwhisper's response, "On Puns and the Value Thereof."

Portius: Something something that I'm not backtracking through Mudlet to find asking what they meant.

The pun in question:
Punning is therefore highly useful to all civilized societies, and the inventor of the form, whose name has long since been lost to time, should be held in high regard for happening a pun the form.

Warbling with cheerful melody, they lift her into the skies, soaring until they become naught but a pinprick of light in the distance."
