so something that's been cropping up in conversations i've been having as of recent is the concern of transparency between staff team and community members.
there is definitely a disconnect between staff and the playerbase. there has always been one since this game seemingly began. even with the new mods it hasn't done too much to bridge the gap between staff member and your average player.
a solution to this that i've found on other servers/games/mmos/communities/etc was a simple little concept called:
the community meeting.
it's simple.
a monthly or tri-weekly meeting set up by the staff to openly discuss things with the community, answers and ask questions of concern, and in general just...
discuss things on an open platform with little worry for stepping out of line.
i know that some staff can be busy but something like this is atrociously easy to set up.
it would also build up some trust that the feralheart staff are ready and capable of being open with the community about the goings on[obviously, without spoiling what's contained in a patch or something].
it would also be nice to have a place to suggest things that might perhaps be instantly locked on the forum because it mentions a forbidden phrase[y'know which one i mean] or something else people might be nervous to post about.
questions, concerns, inquiries, and additions?
