Hi I don't think this post is necessary, but I thought I'd make a post to be transparent seeing as there was some confusion as to the nature behind this post and also the editing of the original post.
At the start of the month we had a meeting with both the admin team and then the development team in terms of how we would move forward in terms of the community survey SoulRipper posted - which will have some things coming from it imminently.
In this meeting we brought up the idea of a community meeting and upon speaking about it, as a majority (I believe even some who originally were signed as members who were hosting this meeting) we decided it was a bad idea, due to the chaotic nature of such meetings and also the fact that we didn't believe it would be the best way of gathering data.
Considering we already hosted a survey we didn't think overburdening the community with things that many perceive as empty promises was something that would be good for the community. Words mean little but only action can prove our dedication to improving the servers.
Recently we have had quite a dip in player count, which seemingly is now coming back up slowly - but alongside this Tomo and I were busy with work and uni and so did not have time to react to such a sudden shift in player count. I explained to the administrative team that things would start to happen once I had finished with uni for a while (which is today, 24/11/2018). While this was going on, concerned staff members decided to direct message the staff members they believed would be interested in hosting a community meeting in hopes to see what people want so we could fix the issue of the player count. This showed nothing but initiative and care in terms of bringing the community back to a fine era.
However, the lack of communication towards both SAs, the development team and a small amount of administrators was not appreciated by many due to the fact that it could represent those that were not informed as 'not caring' and perhaps they were people who wanted to 'ban' such a thing from occurring in the first place - which could not be further from the truth, instead we just believed it wasn't the best action to do at this moment in time. This is why it was labelled as an 'unofficial' meeting - as it was simply a group of administrators who wanted to do this by themselves.
Upon learning of this meeting, I spoke to the staff members involved in hosting it and stated that these sort of things should be discussed with the team before being announced and every member of the team should be informed. It's not something any of us had any interest in stopping at any time, but stated that we need to be unit in terms of taking action in server issues going forward. Now, because of this it is now going to be an official meeting and will be a collective effort from all members of the team. Although we still definitely have reservations in terms of how successful this sort of meeting could be, it could be a positive learning experience for us all and if it proves useful perhaps we will have more.
