"It is precisely competent social policy that is most important in the matter of building a stable community. Even under monopolistic conditions, forgetting this is an unforgivable luxury; otherwise, everything will lead to what we can observe; people, including those who were loyal to the server in the past, but tired of the insolence and the moneymaker, are looking for an alternative, and proactive members of the community will inevitably create that alternative—it's only a matter of time.
As I've noticed, it is precisely this understanding (seemingly obvious!), unfortunately for ordinary players, that the leaders of Russian-language projects lack. But a new era is already visible on the horizon... That is why it is important to debunk the myths born of greed. There is no necessity, and it is merely an excuse for monopolistic audacity. Many other conveniences can be created, more premium and not critical for the player, but instead of developing new conveniences, existing things are artificially restricted. Why can't new conveniences be invented that address higher needs? Either they don't know how, or their imagination falls short, or, more likely, due to the lack of alternatives for players, the leaders see no point in devoting time to this, because everything works, right?..
And you know, up until a certain point I really respected the administration of this community. It was evident that they were trying for the players, bringing something new, there was a special spark, but apparently, Icarus flew too high and got burned."
