I know sometimes we as players tend overlook a lot the small thing the dev team and builders admins etc do. Every small thing right down a door that does not work is fixed a lot of it is stuff we do not even realize. It takes a village too run a server.
So I wanted bring up there a lot people being crictial of psion class and a lot of the new additions. I think everyone including me needs maybe just sit back and say thank for the hard work these people have put in. I understand bugs need too be reported. But as far as power level.. Or why does this mob have a shiled or the shiled or too big or the textures are bad. We need maybe think and just say thank you for the hard these folks put in.
So from me dwarf king and sophie my ice devil. Thank you guys keep up the great work.

YEAH!
I second this. These updates and expansions are a labour of love. These devs work with an inimical toolset that is buggy as all getout. To build anything of note is an exercise in masochism and something as simple as an autosave or loading the wrong file can flip some important variables or write over completed work with older, bugged or broken version of what ever the builder is trying to work on. Actually completing a project can be a sisiphyian victory and generate far more bugs and errors in other parts of a module due to ancient workarounds and kludges hacked together by Obsidian when they were taking Biowares NWN1 and fusing it to the workings of the new graphic engine, databases and game code.
Rather than grief, these devs need a pint or more of their favorite beverage, a hug, and intensive psychiatric care - not necessarily in that order. Also, a "real men/women/entity" of GENIUS meme.
Seriously, thank you all for keeping this place afloat and still tying to bring such subtleties into this wonderful sandbox we call Sigil!

I'll join in, because I know how frustrating it can be to see a constant barrage of "this is broken and that too!" and then arguing about what's right and wrong. Heck I've not been helpful in some regards myself. x) I tend to provide ideas of large scopes myself, though you should also realize by now that I seldom expect them to become reality even if I may so passionately argue about the philosophies implied in them.
Thanks for all the hard work! And thanks also for all the not so hard work whomever may feel like they could've done better, but couldn't be arsed to go all the way so just did something. It's something too! Yeah, I'm not great with this thanks business, so...
<insert actually decent grateful message>
And whatever you do, remember that you can't please everyone. It's easy for people to complain when they don't need to make the choices of far more difficult politics than many realize. Naturally it shouldn't be an obstacle for trying, but you know how it is.
