Actually, now that I think about it, if anything perhaps the eye should be shifted on to Glomdoring.
It is quite the ghosttown It seems to be losing players at a rapid rate And frankly has had quite the issues with Gods as well
Perhaps rather than seem to focus on Mag being the 'negative experience', we should actually look to orgs that fill the criteria being listed.
Considering I'm actively playing in Glomdoring right now, I'd love to hear about these issues with gods and what players we are losing.
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.
Thirdly, both Celest and Glomdoring suffered from Karagash's attempt at combat prowess via the rat swarms, the very same night as Magnagora. Celest because Magnagora /asked/ him to, despite turning around and saying Karagash did nothing for them later, and Glomdoring because they taunted Karagash (or the rats or something; after I'd started I think I realized that the shout in question may have been directed elsewhere). .
I remember @xenthos saying he'd prompted that by yelling something in Celest.
We were mostly dissappointed because they were so individually weak after seeing mags die to them.
Also, was the Swamp rat that kept coming into Glomdoring before maeve got healed related to any of this?
I was hoping to RP with him a bit more...
Yeah, there was some concern I made the rats *too* powerful, so I cut back on them for Celest and Glomdoring. These rats were just for Karagash's combat prowess testing.
My death to those rats was a result of me walking by a group of 28 getting hit and going oh, walking back into them to see if I could take them on alone. I hit and lagged out. I seen myself go from 11k health to like 3-4k then lagged out.. say the least.. I could not do that alone. >.>;;
The soft, hollow voice of Nocht, the Silent resounds within your mind as His words echo through the aether, "Congratulations, Arimisia. Your mastery of vermin cannot be disputed."
as far as I knew the 'exodus' from glom was because of Viravain, if i'm thinking about the one to do with tarkenton and zouviqil and those people.
that's the answer I got when I asked about it ICly, anyway. so long ago I odn't remember who I asked
I'm pretty sure Zouv quit playing because of health problems, and Tarkenton is still around and pretty active.

Though, you are correct. We have issues our gods right now. SHIKARI COME BACK pretty much sums it up.
Viravain, Lady of the Thorns shouts, "And You would seize Me? Fool! I am the Glomdoring! I am the Wyrd, and beneath the cloak of Night, the shadows of the Silent stir!"

Tarkenton moved to gaudi for a while there though along with a couple other important gloms
you're right. Sidd moving to Glom with viynain and shuyin must mean Glomdoring is a toxic environment. No wonder they have an inactive player base and no gods.

To my ears, a lot of this argument sounds a lot like what happened years ago in Glomdoring. People said it was toxic, the players in it vehemently denied its toxicity (and probably still would today), and eventually, the admin determined, in their estimation, that it was toxic enough to warrant direct intervention.
Is the situation in Magnagora approaching old Glomdoring levels? I have no idea. I wasn't/am not involved in either situation. But the argument sounds familiar.
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!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
