Time for the old timer to chime in....
There is no "Old God Spire team" per say. Unless you are speaking of the Decius, Celestin, Talos, Raptre and
group. They were the original DM's of God Spire. I was a second or third teer DM, added on four months after God Spire started. Of those DMs, who is left. NONE. God Spire evolves. It changes with time. When I started at God Spire, it was the Halls of Advanced Training map and filled with hackers and randomers. There were no scripts to protect people and no duel managers. Decius added the first scripts to strip items and people freaked out and yelled about how God Spire was changing. Then Decius changed the DM line up and people yelled how God Spire was changing for the worse. People were beyond pissed that he made me a DM. Then, Evil unnamed joined as a DM, took over for Decius, and things changed more. People were pissed at Evil unnamed and wanted Decius back even though they were pissed at his changes too. Decius returned and made more changes. People wanted Evil unnamed back. Then came Talon, and he made more changes. Decius retired and people were pissed. Talon added mroe scripts to keep things fair and created the duel manager. People hated the duel manager at first.
Every single DM that has ever been added has been hated by atleast some of the players and every change that has happened has been hated by atleast some of the players. Mel said she was not going to play as much anymore, Mo needed a DM to be there. When I retired, I was fully prepared to return to not being a DM. When my daughter Calia vanished, she knew she would not be a DM any longer. When
left, one of the original God Spire DM's btw, he returned as a player, not a DM. Mo has a difficult job with a lot of pressure. He is supporting God Spire now and things will change. What Talon expected from his DMs and what Decius expected from his does not apply. God Spire has survived as long as it has because it changes to meet the needs of its current players. Sometimes, we will not like the changes that happen. I have not liked every change, but no player will ever know which changes I liked and which I did not. A DM must keep these things between themselves and other DM's only. To the players, everything must be calm, nice, and in agreement. While I did not know Mel all that well, this was the wrong forum for this conversation between her and Mo.
