Lyssander the Pale:
Happy to wait for quite a while longer.
But... Penville... Careful which region you join next. If you make DM Windwalker disappear, I'll be coming after you with a bucket of hot sand and a feather-duster.
Aw. :) Thank you, Lyssander. I needed to hear something like that today. :)
The good news is, short of death, I have no intentions of ever leaving RPoL or RoA. They are my home away from home. Plus, I met DM Annihilator on RPoL, so it will always have special meaning for me.
As far as Penville goes, I don't have an opening in my two current regions that he would really fit it. But I'll definitely keep the character in mind for a third when I do either take something over or start something up.
And don't worry about the level disparagies. I know it doesn't seem fair. Here are my recommendations: (1) Try to get one of the reliable DMs who have been here forever. BCM is the best for consistency, absolutely. (2) Try to hop into a region with a lot of DMs as players in that region. Usually a region with a lot of DMs tends to last longer and posting is more consistent. Plus, because they'll be higher level, you'll actually get to level faster than normal. (3) Become a reliable, consistent DM in RoA yourself. We have benefits for doing so, plus we host lots of virtual pizza and toga parties in the DM's Lounge... :p Being an RoA DM is rewarding and fulfilling, plus we've got a great community of DMs. Also, being a DM will allow you to help shape RoA. We're always looking for new ideas and help on any number of things. /end recruiting speech *giggles*
