What was it a year ago that you liked? Mod run events? Dragon battles, Ice fairies coming down, plague running rampant, hugging contests?

Or was it the character plots? Diva's murders? The Darkness Plot?

If it's the latter, there's an easy way to get those things back. Start them. If it's the former, suggest the mods do something more active, now that we've had a break. A fight or something to break up the quiet a little. I mean the dream event's hardly tame slice of life, assuming you've even looked at some of those dreams.
