What are some of the causes that have made you play less or not at all?I have an idea as to what I want to accomplish, and then when I get in game there isn't enough players in my zone to help me accomplish what I had in mind.
I want to play something unique, but I also don't want to play something overwhelmingly unique that it becomes a standard that other players adapt to when playing in that zone.
These really summarize up by my choices of progression and satisfaction... What makes me enjoy doing something. And sometimes they don't align with the core aspect of what I think the game
should be and have. That's pretty interesting because there's the game world concept
in my own head, and my own character concept
in my own head that may be at odds.
What are some changes you think would benefit the game and draw more people - new and returning?1) Web Client
[New Player]2) Web Character Application
3) Pre-defined character concepts that a new player can join in:

Pick your hair color and style
Pick your body shape
Pick your height
Pick your race
Pick your background from one of 4 backgrounds:
Fighter from a small village
City general laborer

Their eyes are <eye color> and their <hair color> hair is styled like <hair style>
sdesc: The <eye color>-eyed, <body shape> <race>

https://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/board,165.0.htmlWhat sort of things should do we more of?Communicate with the players with the decisions and intents of upcoming changes. See -> "A small peek behind the curtain." thread. It was published BEFORE these things got put into game, not after.
As an elder, I want to help out the game, even though I'm not on staff.
What sort of things should we do less of?The void of sending in a request and not having
any form of communication until a decision is made on the request. This is incredibly hard when I have a request for over 7 days and had no acknowledgement that someone has even glimpsed at it.
I don't want requests to be resolved sooner. I want to know that someone has at least looked at it.
