i can understand where silverwolf's coming from up to a certain point.

i've played on shards where there wouldnt be a staff for hours to answer my page and its frustrating and may even damage the shards reputation if it happens again and again to the same player. even worse if its to a completely new player.

i dont see us enforcing staff to be on at certain times because as Elcid said; there are circumstances which over-rule uo. we all volunteered to be staff and we knew, or should of known, that a certain commmitment level would be required from us and we should of only taken the role if we knew we could hold up our end of the bargain. and if a staff member can't then something needs to be done.

im not about to make an excuse for every staff but all staff have different roles. for ex: maka is retired and is our lead scripter right now. nobody should even expect to see him make an announcement ingame. not even "restarting server for updates, be back online real soon".

we already hired 1 new staff in less then 1 week of the shard being live and im sure more will join our team when the right person(s) is found.

Swanny your post wasn't exactly the best thing to say, Silverwolf is trying to address what he finds to be an issue and you downplayed it. please let him express his concerns and we will address them.
