@Wolfs said in Empire State Heroes Mush:
you may think staff owes you a detailed explanation as to why they might turn down something you want in your background or want to have access to, but the truth is they don't.
100% correct, and also 100% the wrong attitude if you want to keep your game thriving.
"Fuck the players, I'm the boss and my word is law." isn't any way to run a business and make no mistake, any form of MMO is a business.
You are trying to convince your players to invest time and effort into making the product (the game experience) for your other users to share.
They are a vital cog in the machine of your game.
Don't break the cogs.
Your players are both the consumer of your product and the workers making it.
They even work for free! It's a wonderful deal for you!
Don't piss them off.
I know it's really annoying to have to stop your day and slowly explain to them what is happening and why, but it's important.
The moment your player base starts to feel that staff is working against them and not with them, your game starts to die.
