I really enjoyed myself. I was just worried about how folks were doing with how things unfurled. If all the 'collared' people are actually okay and still having fun, then all is groovy from my personal standpoint.
Also, I have to admit, I felt a lot of tension while reading this thread. I think all of us not directly managing the event should keep in mind that big, large-scale server events like this are EXTREMELY difficult to pull off without problems. It's like herding around 40 cats. (Sometimes literally with the miqo'te population :V) The greater the number of people involved, the greater the chance of issues propping up. A little patience and understanding when discussing our problems with each other or when agreeing/disagreeing with other folks in the thread gives the event-runners a chance to sort things out and improve things for the better if any actual issues exist.
Edit: I also think there's nothing wrong with non-event-managing folks expressing concerns. Like I said, I was mostly worried that there might be collared folks feeling stuck when I piped up. It makes me feel much better about participating knowing that it's not actually a problem. I didn't want to keep having fun knowing it was possibly at someone else's expense and I wouldn't really have had that cleared up for me if it wasn't brought up. That said, I do wish everyone would address things with each other in a bit of a calmer fashion.
This event is pretty huge in scale, and naturally has effected lots of folks, but this is still a game we're playing for fun - I'm sure we can all talk about this stuff without getting a little harsh with each other.
