Actually, I was staff on there while they were gold. And, it was some Chris kid on the Admin Account. He had no other account, except for the administration one.. Soo?
Also, Managing a succesful playerworld is rough. I've only got a taste of Classic status when Atrius hit hosted and had around 50 players for 5 days. It can be fun or terrible. Its for certain people, mature people. I still Manage my server and sometimes it takes it toal. I like to be the Manager I wish I could PM on a server. One who responds even though how dumb the question is..
"WUR TO GET CASH?" or I atleast relay the question, to a PR or something of the sort. A manager should be though provoking and kind, but yet strict so his staff dont override him, nor players. You know some of those nice teachers in school? They are nice but then the bad kids make it terrible for the WHOLE class because those bad kids, in this example (Bad Staff) make the Teacher/Manager go pass his threshold of tolerance, and tweak.
For a succesful playerworld, I do agree with what Tork posted 100%. Ecspecially about the economy, and everything. Changing owners don't usually make a playerworld the best. They all have different ideas. But it can be stresfull to manage a playerworld at times. While your working on stuff (If you develop, witch every Manager should have a special trait), reading/responding PM's, corresponding with staff. Sometimes you have to be on all day just to fullfill everyones needs for that day. It can be a great, fun job. But yet tedious and a "I need another ciggarette" job/responsbility. Responsibility= A great manager.
But yea, whoever takesover Zodiac? Even if a new Manager does or doesnt. They shouldn't try to change much. Just provide cool updates that the Zodiacians might vote on, or something? The players keep the server, but don't try to please everyone. You wont please anyone. Limit and re-strict their opponions to options that YOU know Zodiac/Your playerworld can handle or do, nothing that will ruin the economy or something of that sort.
But thats just my input from a Managers point of view
. Take it or leave it.
