I would like to think the following would help, but don’t know how “easy” it is.
1) toggle PK mode 2) 1 hour and 24 hour chat ban 3) cleaning forums/discord 4) handing out donation items 5) limited boss spawning 6) toggle a x2 drop or x2 rates weekend providing certain criteria are met All things that would compliment and help Finito and Isylver concentrate on the important things

"FOXTRCK"+1 to more GM activity (via a new GM and maybe 2-3 in game advisors via diff timezones). Very well put, couldn't agree more.

A GM and lesser so, advisors, water and feed the community, they should love the game and encourage people into all aspects off it as well as talk about it.
They are, through lack of other means, the binding agent for all parts of the community, the crafters, the neutrals, the lonewolfs, the guild leaders, pkers and alliance members. All of which are important to feel included in the community, if you want it to thrive. Rather than allowing it to polarise into <person type A> or <person type b>. Its important that they like and listen to all corners. And look to new ways/updated methods to keep it that way.
Its not that they need to be able to create items or spawn monsters but be a centrifuge for creativity and picking up of common issues, that and you need "chatmins" powers (chat admins). They should understand the game, its mechanics as well as the original ones and be able to take part in grown up discussions with veteran players and other GMs. Without displacing any of the current team. The ability to /rain would be nice and even place players in the sinbin (the dummies SE of TYT).
Its also really important to acknowledge that the game hasnt gone forward since Esoma, there are no new graphical assets to show players the game has a storyline thats been played out or new ones being laid out. Its been so long that long term capped people wont be able to comprehend not having to farm or creating beefs with others. A big reason why Mir maintains a steady population on its main servers.
Although people may have seen my work recently, I can name a dozen others that would line up to contribute to the game but there doesnt seem to be any kind of grand plan or cohesiveness to make it seem worthwhile. Something a new GM could bring to the table.
In the end, its iSylver and Finitos choice, though I believe there is a mentality of it being a 'pserver' than what it always really always was, a community game. It being the only known server out there, means its taken the baton on from Esoma, making it more important. Anyway, we will take the horse to water.
All sounds a lot of work but not if you enjoy what you do.[/quote]

ISYLVER [Staff] |
To be clear : Fox’s ask is fair and I’m all for more chat admins and moderators. Providing they volunteer and can be unbiased.
I’ve had 2 volunteers for this. However, what I don’t want to do is set an expectation of power or potential corruption so there would never be another GM that could create items/spawn bosses etc because that is not needed. When Paramount and Ghost were about they would remove the noise for Fin and I without bias. The volunteer group was originally intended to do this but there was often bias because they were associated with their own character or build. This was not to say that the volunteers did not do some incredible work. But naturally it’s human nature to focus on something that has disgruntled you personally recently. TLDR: all for advisors with chat mute options, kick out commands etc but not with “GM” powers.

rejectnote should include zone/world shouts
zone/world shouts should have a filter for racist/homophobic words so where a shout contains a filtered word it just wont broadcast it if it's on that list. being able to have zone/world shout muted on login would even address a number of the issues for me.

"FOXTRCK"Raven isnt in discord and I think he would do you well. Putting in a 'word' for ur fave candidates already could be construed as unfair or biased... there's lots of things to be considered before any player... could be considered totally unbiased.. would probably need someone that doesn't play.. then.. how do u absolutely know that.... Isylver proly looking for a smaller inbox when he logs on.. tho i don't see the above, helping much with that. Anyway .. could be fun x

"LUPISCUS""FOXTRCK"Raven isnt in discord and I think he would do you well. Actually, in a community game I'd say putting a good word in is exactly how it should happen. If someone is given chat admin powers to quell some of the disgusting things in world shout then it needs to be a player the community respects and trusts to be fair. iSylver's idea of the limitation of powers is spot on. No item creation/boss spawn/trace/recall powers. Just temporary chat bans and being able to move people a limited distance to stop door blocking

I usually stay clear of threads that mention me for roles within Soma, but I’ll make an exemption due to iSylver posting in this one.
Put yourself in iSylver position and tell me honestly that you wouldn’t have any issues on creating a new GM since he has been burnt in the past with someone abusing there powers, I know if that was me I would find it difficult with trusting someone again, that being said I don’t believe iSylver and Finito need another GM on there team. I’m an old head when it comes to Soma, been there, done it and got the T-shirt, and I’m not interested in the slightest in the so called politics of Soma after all gv is only trace. This role of taking away a players chat ability and moving players away from doorways I think would be welcomed by most if not all of the community, but I don’t believe this role should have the power to do anything else. So if you feel I would be suitable I will put my name forward for all to see, thanks.

Would be best if it was a different char with the chat admin abilities and nobody knew for sure who the people behind them were so they don't get hassled whilst playing their chars.
