Oh one other option: they have the worst possible luck and the universe itself is preventing them from delivering the goods.

But how many people actually fit into this category? I don't know anyone that has posted on the forums, even the folks that post nothing more than "funcom sucks" that hasn't contributed to the community in some way/shape/form.
The biggest critics of the game on the forums are the people that, from my observation, have done the most to contribute to the PvM, PvP and RP community of the game. So who exactly are you directing your comments to if not the people that, via their money and time, have been contributing members of the AO community all of these years?
Someone posting negative feedback or expressing frustration does not equate to a non-helpful member of the community. Maybe I'm reading your statements wrong but it seems as if you are assuming things about posters without any factual basis for doing so.
Events by Jill is a premier event planning organization. We organize events such as scavenger hunts, educational seminars, tours, raids and social gatherings.
"If it's an Event by Jill.. you know it's done right!"
Well many seem to be making assumptions it seems.
If you look back to my original post on page 15 - How many that have posted since have stated about the contributions they make? 3?
A big thank you to those that have and continue to contribute to the AO community.
One assumption is, that the graphics engine will be a great improvement if not a saviour to AO. I actually fear that is will kill the game
Have you tried running a single instance of AoC which uses the same engine for example? So laggy unless you run in solo (night) play [SoloOnlineRPG].
In AO I am able to run 6 toons online at the same time. It's accessibility is great (atm). How many of us dual log (at least).
There is a saying "Be careful what you wish for"....
and for all those contributers to AO - please feel free to mention what you do/have done for us all.
But, I am anxiously awaiting the merge.... I need more slots for more alts

Better yet, how is it that she is able to know and therefore judge what contributions others might have made to the game? She needs to take a few steps down off that pedestal if she is going to be this quick to judge people that she doesn't know just for disagreeing with her.
As for the thought that players don't help FC and the community just for the hell of it, what about ARKs?
A new light shines upon Rubi-Ka,A new channel is opened in the grid feed,
A new Team dedicated to the distribution of knowledge is formed.

For the People, By the People.
3 people posting about their contributions.. how does that matter? Just because someone hasn't posted about the contributions they make or have made doesn't mean they haven't made any. Why should someone have to post an AO resume to validate their right to post their opinions and concerns on the forums?
Sometimes I find myself doing it because while someone on RK2 might know me, people on RK1 may not.. and I know there are people like you that assume that if someone hasn't mentioned something then it didn't happen or that there's nothing to mention.

You have made incorrect assumptions and statements both times you have posted.
"quick to judge people that she doesn't know just for disagreeing with her"
I have taken the time to read all posts and have posted a number of replies to ppl that have posted since my post, that agree or disagree with me - Those are relevant in each case.
I have thanked the people that make contributions to the AO community - How does that put me on a pedastal.... It obviously means that those that don't contribute, know they don't.... so how am I judging them?
I try to lead the org that I sit in the Presidents role for, by example. I don't ask people to stick to behaviour that I don't myself.
You have toons in HoBS, and seem to think you know me so well...... and yet you call me a 'she' lol uber fail.
Please read all of the posts I make not just selective parts. It will help you better understand that if people feel offended by me thanking all those that 'make a contribution to the AO community' - Why would you feel offended if you make a contribution. I am thanking you. If by conclusion you do not make a contribution - feel free to feel offended.

And here's your original post from page 15 that you asked me to refer back to.
So you list paying for the game as one of your contributions. People that post on the forums (with very rare exception) have paid AO accounts (now or at some point) and therefore have contributed to the game (as per your own definition). So, that being the case, why are you telling people that by your own statement have contributed to he game to take a look at what they do for the game before they start complaining? Clearly your point was that you feel that the complainers aren't also contributors and I was pointing out the flaw in that assumption.

Lol, you were one of the 3, but it was relevant to mention your contributions at the time?
How can you posibly know the paid status of all that are posting here?
Paid (past tense) = I thank you for your previous contributions.
Paying = Thank you for continuing to contribute to Funom/AO community.

I'm just going to assume that there's a language barrier here preventing her (female name, female toon -> female pronouns) from adequately expressing herself or fully understanding our arguments, and move on.

Please please please stop atacking each other ! (EventsbyJill and Lizenglish or Amelia and Liz
I "know" both of you as respected members of AO comunity and veterans who always help newbies and do lot of other things that helps AO in general and AO comunity.
We all love/like AO but at the same time we have different opinions.
I love AO and hate FC! or maybe better I hate stupid management of FC who over the years did so many mistakes that it may end up in a bankrupcy of FC. I do not give a damn about FC but I am aware that if that happen AO will die as well ...

Player 'contributions' to the game will start being of relevance once FC starts writing us cheques. It's not our job to fix or compensate for their screwups.
I am wiser than any god or scientist, for I have squared the circle and cubed Earth's sphere, thus I have created 4 simultaneous separate 24 hour days within a 4-corner (as in a 4-corner classroom) rotation of Earth. See for yourself the absolute proof.
