> a large portion of the player base does not know exactly what to expect from the Immortal staff - they do not know what it is that makes a "good immortal" and "successful immortal". Although that's a valid point, I don't think a single conversation without context does anything to demystify the process. I might even submit that it muddies the waters all the more because (a) the staff isn't about to begin justifying business decisions on a public forum and (b) without more information you're likely to imagine the worst. If Jaldean himself is mystified, then he should have taken it up with the staff privately instead of breaking a verbal non-disclosure agreement and airing the grievance here; it was neither good form nor a good ethical move. > This log illustrates what sort of qualities and contributions the Immortal staff is looking for, and lets the rising player base know what to expect, should they manage to carry out their Immortal dreams. Again, I disagree. This log doesn't tell the whole story. And although you can say, "then tell us the whole story" I can pretty much guarantee you that's not going to happen. This game has become a company. You're going to see changes taking place in how it is run (eg. violation of non-disclosure agreements are going to be taken very seriously) as well as the look and feel of the game (eg. I think some of you have previewed the new web sites). > I think that is what the forum is all about: demystifying that which does not need to be mystified about a quality game. I agree. I don't think this post served that purpose. Apparently neither did Dioxide (or another VIP), as it was removed the first time.
