First off, this is not directed at those who are involved (In any way) with the current 'wave' of drama. More so, this is directed at the players who have come back after a long time, or even active players, who are saying "What's going on with all this drama? =(".
It's interesting, really. I've spoken with a few people who needed someone to speak with about the most recent 'wave' of this drama. It's terrible that people are feeling this way about the problems of others here on the server, and I just hope I can help with this feeling.
I must say, though: that everything is not as it seems. Take this example:
The U.S. currently has tons of reality shows on the air. Many times, people of other countries arrive at the logical assumptions that all Americans behave and act the same way as the people of these reality shows. That's not true. In fact, the average American is far from what is portrayed on these television shows. Why is it so hard to find these average Americans? Because a person who lives a normal life isn't as interesting as the people in these television shows often time.
Now, relate this with our server, please. We often have little bits of drama here and there, and it makes many other players view the server as if it's "all going to hell". In fact, it's not. One player i spoke with read the forums to find the current thread with much of the drama and was not pleased. To that player: it's not always as it seems. Most of the times, the only ones who will post in that thread will be just a little (at the very least) upset with someone. The ones who don't post in that thread? They're the rest of the server who is indifferent and probably even oblivious to it all.
To the players who are a little saddened by all this drama: it's not as bad as it seems. It's just the loud few (Whether they have good or bad points) that give the appearance that there's "DRAMA THAT'S GONNA DESTROY THE SERVER!". Please, don't feel like there is drama that's threatening everyone. Most people here are still wanting to have fun: the very reason we all joined the server.
We can all use a break sometimes to relax. If you feel like you need to take a break, that's probably wise. You know yourself better than anyone else though!
