Change of the Gaurd

BRM will not be up and running for a while, due to comp and RL issues. He has stepped down from the HDM possition of BG, I will be filling that vacuum. I know there hasn't been much activity of late on the server due to little DM attention, and I am seeking to correct that issue, but I do have other priorities beside dming atm which will be taking a little of my time. Store corrections is the first on my list. I intend to bring all stores in line with standards by next weekend. As such, look for adjusted prices, especially in the potions/scrolls section. AL corrected our blueprints for potions and scrolls last night, as it seemed to have reverted which should have helped with that issue, however, there are places they will still be overpriced due to markup of the store themsleves. These will be corrected.
As OGR is battling RL, and Sandermann will be working from behind the scenes mostly doing additions to the server, I will be putting out another call for BG DM's. I am no BRM when it comes to DMing, but I will do the best I can for you guys. I ask only a few things.
1. Be respectful to myself and my DM's. No one knows all the canon there is to know, cept maybe Spider....and it is fine to question things that may not look right. What I will not tolerate is an insistance on how things should be. I trust my DM's to make good judgement calls and to be in contact with me about what they do. At the end of the day, the player does run the world...but the dm's oversee that world, and no amount of meta-knowledge about the setting will save you from that.
2. Be mindful of each other. I stepped up so the server can continue, and so that you can continue to enjoy yourselves. I would much rather be dming you, than going through logs trying to find out whom did what to whom when and why no dm knew about it....that's just not my thing....not something I enjoy doing. If I have to babysit, I will...but you won't like me as a nanny.
3. Be patient. It will take some time to get the ball rolling again, and I do not have the time in my life that BRM did for DMing. I will do the best I can to bring in more DM's but you will have to be patient with them too, as they might be learning the client. I will try to do the best I can to cover everyone on the servers.
I appreciate your time, and look forward to seeing all of you IN GAME!
