The only thing I have used post count for was determining players in games and judges for Living Eberron: Most post count is an indication (but not a guarantee) of interest and dedication to the boards, so that usually (but not always) translates to less likely to drop out of a game/judgeship.

Anyway, no-one's beating Cronthian. Not sure anyone's going to give RA a run for his money anyway (and he hasn't been around since he destroyed LEW).

stonegod, did RA announce he was leaving or did he just disappear?

Just went poof, as far as I know. I wasn't in any of RA's addy's at the time.

Post counts are overrated. If I wanted more posts I'd hang out at the Hive.

destoryed LEW how? I have went through the current threads and two of the (I think 6) games are about to end leaving only 3-4 games running--
I would like to have a place to play a 3.5 campagin with every other player in Enworld not just those in the game I'm in.

In Lathander's name what did you guys do - 11 pages of posts, 98% of which are off-topic Someone needs to cast a spell or something.

I did cast a spell Invite Everyone effect- creates a thread where some topic of it will interest someone at some point then everyone posts in it at least once (where did the new guys go this time???)

destoryed LEW how?

RA's Mega-Adventure pulled in over 75% off all the DMs and players; RA ran several of the threads. When he disappeared the mega-adventure lost coordination; several other DMs abandoning their game at the same time also didn't help. This left the vast majority of players stranded in threads that were going no where, and gave others the impression that LEW was not really continuing.

In other words, it lost a lot of momentum.

LEW as partially recovered, but it is not what is was. 4E didn't help, of course, but the M-A was the straw.

And this adventure it isn't finished then?? Could it be redone/finished bet the original thread is still around hmmm....

I think a large number of LEW members would cry if they saw the MA revived, due to the previous debacle. Granted, I was arriving during the late aftermath...

REVIVED!?! I don't want to revive it I want to end it!!

And a bad end it has come to too. I have a hundred questions and six adventures to go looking through, but my proposal is this....

Vildaxaranthus WINS!! The quest failed and the world is plungged into darkness and despair as the Lichwyrm takes rule over the world. A revamp or reset LEW to say 30 yrs after the MA in a darker world. But new heroes and some "older" old ones now ready again to adventure.

Wow, HM. I must say, you are the msot ambitious newcomer to EN World I've seen in a long time!

And in one single swoop you have given any current player disincentive to stay. Its the "Realms Shaking Event" for LEW that guarantees that any human character is now retired (unless of a casting class where the aging penalties aren't so bad) and that the other characters have 30 yrs to explain why they haven't leveled up.

In my opinion, the current LEW players and judges would not be favorable of such a shake-up, partly for the reason above. Change for the sake of it with little perceived benefit (and what is the benefit? That a failed experiment gets closure? Best to admit it was a mistake and move on) is probably not work it.

That being said, my interaction with LEW is probably going to start fading once Xir's addy's is done. 3.5 isn't my thing these days (though I'll happily continue in the games I'm in).
