Hey all, thanks for raising this.
A small correction first: there is staff presence around, both in-game and behind the scenes. It's fair to say it's not always visible at peak hours, and we can do better there. But "no admin presence at all" isn't quite accurate.
That said, the core point is fair - we haven't run proper community events yet, and we should be. The honest reason is priorities. As admins, our top focus right now is getting the game itself working well - fixing bugs, stabilising systems, addressing exploits, and laying the groundwork for what's coming next (including P2P). Running events well takes preparation and staff time during the event itself, and we've been pouring that time into the server foundation.
But you're right that we can't keep pushing it indefinitely while waiting for "the perfect moment." More events are coming. I'd rather make that commitment here than keep silent on it.
What sounds fun? What would actually pull you in? Reply with your suggestions and we'll work to make them happen.
Really appreciate the post.
