Is it plausible that one of these groups has actually succeeded behind the scenes? Of course it is. You're just unwilling to allow that because "my precious dev godlore". Is it not also possible that other groups aside from the unnamed one the devs mentioned have also figured out how to do it? The entire point of roleplay is to tell an interesting story. By stonewalling anything -plausible- because you would rather put your fingers in your ears and say "la la la I can't hear you" is nothing short of childish. It's like taking your basketball home so other kids can't play.
We should stop focusing on the outside of the game and focus on the community and the inside of the game. Seriously. There's zero reason why everyone cannot get along and stop being dicks to each other (disclaimer: I am fully aware that there are outliers on either side, as I mentioned in an earlier post. This is meant for those of us who are actually trying to build a community).
There is already a community. I don't see how "I don't believe in WHMs so if you want to play one thats fine, but I'll be over here" is a dick move at all? You're basically telling me I have to accept your point of view because of... reasons. I mean, I'm not doing that to you at all? I'm saying people can play WHMs if they want, but I don't have to accept it in my roleplay. I'm not being a dick to you, I'm being very nice. But you want all around acceptance that isn't possible with tons of people. We all believe different things and that's okay.
Quit telling me I have to see your side because of some community. I don't have to. Stop trying to force it on me.
