Yeah kind of like this [Discord Community] Argent Dawn Gnome Discord - Arclight, GAC, GRS & You!
I don’t like to run campaigns to the extent that I used in part because of that but also because of people lying about numbers in sign-ups (in fact, my last campaign had the Alliance faction overestimate their turnout by almost 300%) and as mentioned in this thread people leaving arbitrarily if they’re not catered to 100%
Back in what I like to think (very humbly) was the golden age of AD RP PVP campaigns, I could write cool stories - like the first few Soggoth campaigns, Rising Storm, Legacy of the Saurok etc - because I knew people were excited to be there and would be patient with seeing what happens
My last few campaigns had to follow a strict Horde wins one day - Alliance wins one day - ends in a draw formula because people have since realised that if they’re ever losing in any way they can just say “Well, I’m leaving” to no consequence to their character and avoid it altogether, to the detriment of the other attendees and also my personal enjoyment
