A Final Post from DM_Creo

Unread post by DM Creo »

Allow me to start by saying I am sorry. So many plotlines we had running, I fear may now go up in smoke and I will not be able to make the immediate upcoming events dates for 2pm CET on Sunday May 21st, or the following event for Tuesday May 23rd at 17:00 GMT, or any of the many events on my calendar. Unfortunately, I have been removed from the DM Team. Since speaking in detail of such things is forbidden, call it creative differences. I wish for everyone of you to know that I have valued each moment of our RP together. The creativity of this community never ceases to amaze me.

This was my first time DMing on a persistent world and it has been a blast. It did not always go smooth and for all the really great events, more than a few stinkers slipped through. Their was a large learning curve with the DM_toolset that took me sometime to overcome. At times I also became overwhelmed. While managing so much player RP and my own RL obligations sometimes things just fell threw the cracks, or it took to damn long to get back to you. For that I have much regret and I thank you all for sticking with me. It is really you the player that keeps this world alive and it has been a great honor and privilege to be allowed to DM for all of you. Heartaches aside I will cherish every last moment of it.

Best,

Dear me...

Where the details of this is unknown, I would like to say "Thank you" for all you've done. For trying to include people. For trying to make it so everyone had a fair say in events and activities. I enjoyed your style of dming and doing events.

I realize such things as this may leave some with a sour taste in the mouth... but I hope to catch you playerside again. You are a good person in my book. And I've loved that you brought that aspect of yourself to the stage.

Thank you DM Creo.
Thank you for all you've done.

what in the hell is this? No (do-me) way. I don't even know how to respond to this, I'm sorry. I don't get it, why? I don't believe it.

That sucks ! I'm sad to see you go, especially since you enjoyed it that much. I had the chance of playing a few events that you DMed and they were great fun. Thank you Creo :(

Reading this I also pity the people who had to take this decision that must not have been easy. What a pity.

That's terrible to hear I am sorry. I always enjoyed your events so much and regarded you as one of the best DMs around here. So at least let me thank you one last time for all the great happenings I had a chance to be part of. Salutations, you did some great work here in my opinion and you'll be definitely missed as a great story teller and DM :)

Oh my god, i believe i am cursed. It seems like every DM of the events i was involed in or had a chnace on, got stripped of their otherworldly powers. First DM Lobo and now you Creo. I hope i didn't do anything that was part of such decisions.

Anyway, you will be missed. You have been one of the few DMs who at least tried to keep those players busy who didn't have so much DM attention otherwise. I enjoyed the spontanious plots we had with you. I'm really sad that those have to go who tried to help the players and work with them.

Thank you DM Creo,
for all the effords and the time and the fun we had. :)

Constructive post, here it goes. I have dedicated a lot of time into this game, and NWN2 has become a second home for me. I often have felt ignored as a PC and bad guy, as request go unanswered. Plot lines get put off or fall through. Or I request stuff in game and theres always a complicated answer that makes it not even worth the trouble because denied or ignored more times than not.

The faction I play with became dependent on you because we never got favortism, but we were treated fairly and portions of the game felt like our actions actually mattered. I will be extremely surprised if someone steps in and fills your shoes, but I suppose it's back to watching people in DM area blah blah getting constant attention, constant request fulfilled, while we are back to the scratching board.

It will be many things left unfulfilled and everything you did has revitalized portions of the server that were formerly dead. I haven't seen any unfair gains or huge impacts from you, after all it should be the player that impacts the server on their PC rather than the DM's. You were what I called an "Ambient DM". Whatever we did you light up what is around us, you let us interact with the world and still make our decisions.

I appreciate you for spending the time in us, letting us do what we do, and never giving us something that made us feel guilty. You rewarded us lightly, because in your interactions with us alone was the reward as the surge in population that we had makes it apparent- you didn't make it enjoyable- but you allowed us to make the experience enjoyable.

I hope you return as a player, and maybe I'll keep pushing through the constant disappointment I feel and keep playing. I'm majorly upset for this and actually tearing up over this game, and just hope you can continue to impact the server positively with your presence at least PC side. There isn't someone available right now who can step in and fill the void that this will have for certain players on the server, and your impact here was obvious to some of us and those of us who interacted with you. Thank you.

Whatever the circumstances. The times I had the opportunity to interact with you IC and OOCly, you were a fun GM and very helpful. Thanks for your efforts.

Best of luck with wherever your shoes or fingers walk you.

Cheers.

Very sorry to read this DM Creo. I have enjoyed our little chats over tells and appreciate when you have assisted me with testing as needed. I hope you do stick around player side because hearing about your events and reading of them really shows how fantastic a story teller you are. A shame that a couple of the most active DM's on the server (at least from what I see in game) are no longer on the team these past couple of months.

Whatever you do next, I wish you well sir!

Glad I never thought to join the team. Pretty sure it's a trap.

I could understand never wanting to play here again, but I hope you will.
