Thiis has probably not been stated enough. Everyone who is a government leader, a public official in those governments, military leader, large faction leaders, even just event organizers ....you make Arelith great. I don't think new players (I know I didn't!) understand what dedication it takes to run a city, even virtual ones. The amount of time needed to keep things running, attend meetings in lieu of adventuring, providing RP for new and old players alike, is just astounding.
Even leaders who don't do a fantastic job, (which may be their RP intent!) are to be commended. For those players like me, who do not have the time to commit to massive engagement, or organize events for others, but want to show up for some kind of events, we would not have any RP without all of you. I am not creative enough nor have the time to organize an event or run a faction, but I will show up in the audience to cheer and respond as much as I can. ( And you cannot throw a parade of party if no one shows up)
So to those other players who provide the scenarios for the rest of us to respond to, Thank you!
And as for The Queen's Revenge plot, totally jealous as my main alt is a Guldorand citizen and doesn't understand what's going on, but it sounds fascinating!
