Houston, we have a problem.

As per Ramana Jala, Thain is under new ownership and a much better place to be. In my own personal experience, I have come across many of the players, and all were very nice to me. Even when Ramana was not with me, I had very positive interactions with players whose paths I had crossed.

And of course, don't forget that every server has its hiccups ... remember Solarina?  The only player ever banned from Aenea.

Hey Elhanan, good to see you!  I understand where that comment is coming from, as that was one of my complaints that got me searching and landed me in Aenea years ago.  I've been playing in Thain again for about a year now, and I've discovered that since the management changed in the past couple of years, everybody has been much happier.  The new management is super, head DM Cuchuwyn especially, most of the witches have retired (one who really got me riled as a DM may be technically still around but rarely seen and never DMs anymore), and even one witch player was banned... and another unjustly banned player allowed back!  The old staff that is still around is mostly off building stuff, and they seem to be much more relaxed and patient and reasonable than before, perhaps because they don't have the entire workload on their shoulders anymore.  No real 'politics' to speak of, nowadays.  Cuchuwyn is very available, and the Discord makes it so that discussions with him and other DMs are easy.  So much nicer place to be!  And lots of nice new features since EE made custom expansion possible!  Try it again, you'll probably like it!

 

@Ramana Jala - That is very good to hear! I figured that things getting dicey there is why you and others were appearing in Aenea. I did have fun learning the on-line way to RP over there, so am glad to see things are thriving there.

However, after playing in Aenea for so long, I am uncertain if I can play w/o our perks here (eg; Teleportation). But if I tire from my single player life, I may give it another go. Thanks again for the update!

We would welcome you, Ancient One! Always great to see a familiar face in-game!
