Idiots with keyboards, aka. "How to screw up a client relationship"

Well written.

I feel I should point out that a lot of these repeated complaints are coming from players who really want RO to succeed. It may seem like mindless yammering, but a great deal of it is coming from people who truly want the best for this game, and are getting frustrated by the lack of direction and/or communication.

(Side note; The only time we really hear from anyone about anything is either a hand job post like this, or when someone goes high and to the right on the forums, and a close is required. I think we'd just like some middle ground.)

At times, it kind of feels like the veteran players are the only ones who see what a great thing has been started here, and how awesome it could be with a little bit of a push; not a lot, just a little.

I'm not posting this to be difficult, and I'm not writing this to be a nay-sayer; there is a very small staff involved, and there has to be a certain amount of First Things First about it. I get that.

However, there are 40-50 players I play alongside in this game, and not just in my own realm; and I don't know a single one of us that wouldn't jump at the chance to volunteer our time to help in any way needed. And those are just the ones I know about.

In short; who is failing who? It's a little of both, I think.
