Hi guys!
Lanzer wanted me to pass along that had some monsters to battle and wouldn't be able to start today's ATA but hopefully he'll be able to join us later.
Did you enjoy the Pirate Day and Halfling Day events? Have you read the latest manga update yet?
Lots of stuff going on... Welcome to ATA everyone!

1. Has it ever occurred to the staff & the devs that, for the few avoidant, xenophobic, and/or misanthropic players of zOMG -- which certain elitists & other such similarly-ignorant people deliberately mis-label as "anti-social" -- you just might be putting a little
too much emphasis upon "group interaction"?
Some people play this game merely to have fun (and seeing as how this was always designed as a "casual MMO", it's quite disappointing that this game has seemingly strayed away from those words in the past year or so). The definition of "fun" doesn't necessarily (or automatically, for that matter) mean "doing something with others", especially if said "others" are people that certain users would simply rather not be around at any given time (case in point: everyone hanging around in Bill's Ranch for DMS). Unfortunately, those users who choose to play alone are frequently ostracized, harassed, and otherwise bullied into either not wanting to play at all, or avoiding certain areas of the game entirely, due to others insistently imposing their "anti-solo" views upon them.
My question is this...who, exactly, is harmed by altering the game so that it becomes possible for certain parts (i.e., instances/the Hive/DMS) of this game to be completed by smaller groups and/or individuals? Is there some sort of "negative outcome" that would arise from this, one that we don't yet know about (especially in the case of DMS -- where, as I remember it, quite a few people have questioned why it just
had to be designed specifically so people would
HAVE to enter it in groups)?

2. Why, with all of the zOMG power-ups we already have available, is there not one to instantly refill the G'hi meter & then temporarily keep it at 100% for a specific amount of time?
