    Re: 2008 Premier Site Summit . . . OR, Why Has Not Anybody Made a Thread On This Yet?

    The fact there's an artificial restriction placed on it by S-E which ensures it takes ridiculously longer to master the encounter doesn't detract from the fact 18 hours is a fucking insane amount of time to sit at a computer, it's simply not healthy. And, if the timer was reduced to every one or two days you'd still get whole linkshells of people ready and willing to attempt it every moment they could.

      It appears that on the FFXI official site's "Community Sites" page, DiV is no longer listed as a premier site...

        Thank you, Rianon, it is nice to see something not related to AV. Your surprisingly on-topic post is refreshing.

        Which brings me to my next point, who are we to blame for this?

            Well, obviously the likes of Warcry, FFXI Vault, and FFXI Stratics must have many more posters and players than DiV! Either that, or the site operators respond to e-mail from S-E in a more timely manner or something.

            Maybe S-E just prefers to deal with professionals--even if the professionals put up ads to competing MMORPGs all over their FFXI portals. >_>

            yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
            Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
            leaving no trace in the water.

              From what I read on FFXIwiki, DiV was invited, but didn't respond to the invitation. It was also noted that DiV was the only Premier Site that was not in attendance.

                I noted this too, and am concerned.

                  Thanks YM, I am at work and couldn't get to Wiki for link.

                  There is actually a lot of good info in there. I like the last group of storyline questions the best. Kind of nice to hear about some of the things going on that aren't mainstream.

                    So, what exactly is a Premier site btw?

                    Is there some kind of requirement other than replying to SE's mails and assisting to their events? Because if it's just that then the site admins probably don't fulfill the requirements even though the site has a good traffic volume. /shrug

                      I'm pretty sure that's just it. Which means someone on top . . . is being lazy!

                        Let's remember that DiV is the admins hobby and not their job. They are currently having a very busy agenda irl and haven't had time to administer to the site. They are aware of your concerns and will try to figure something out for the future I'm sure.

                          Obviously what they need to do is have SE hire them assistants so they would have more time to pander to SE.

                            I'm aware of this, but by leaving out my prairie dog comment you thusly took my quote out of context: it was a joke.

                              Didn't they say earlier in this very thread that the two people who were invited to this were both busy IRL?

                                There was more than one comment about it, I quoted the last comment made. But I edited my post to a non-joke quote just so you aren't taken "out of context".
