I'm certainly sure you could get 24/7 staff support if all of us were paying monthly fee's. But we aren't.
It seems like the players on this shard feel entitled to having their every whim catered to by guys who are doing all of this for free and of their own time. The people who put this all together, will eventually get extremely sick of ungrateful douchebags (maka already has) complaining all the time. They will start to think, hey we are doing this to create a game thats fun to play, but all the community does is *****, why bother?
I've gm'd shards before, and admin'd one, its not fun, please trust me on this. Its great to see a world come to life and a community develop and enjoy your world but its WORK to do it.
I'm not railing into you specifically Paige, its more at the community in general constantly calling the staff corrupt and other nonsense. They need to grow up and realise that people providing a free service arent under any obligation at all to please anyone. If you enjoy the shard be grateful, the staff here seems to be better then about 80% of shards I've played. And they arent running off huge ammounts of *donate for lewt* scams like other shards.
BTW, while it seems easy to get gm's for 24 hour coverage of a server, its actually really difficult. Finding people from certain timezones who can make a commitment, and be the right sort of person for the job. That is, trustworthy and able. Its hard to do. Hiring the wrong people for staff has been the downfall of many servers, in fact most of the sphere type pvp shards suffered from this (nos, a9, etc.)
