If they're trying to uphold the "legacy" of the game for the original creator, sounds like they're failing. Even if the team has completely changed hands, you'd think one if them would have a good understanding of where the game should go.

Or actually listen to it's player base.

If the reason why they nitpick or outright deny plot suggestions is because they view and/or use it was a sandbox, they need to come out and say it. Or hand the game over to a group who want to make it better, but neither will ever happen.

it's honestly wild that there's a mod team so completely out of touch with what its playerbase wants - and has consistently wanted over the years, because not a single one of these complaints are new

but the lack of transparency from the mod team to the playerbase is what takes it from 'fair enough, it's your game' to 'hey, what the fuck'. the premise is completely misaligned with how the game's run.

they don't want the game to go anywhere because that would require having to come up with a plot. that's why they stall any efforts for characters to try and figure out the setting. they're burned out and just don't care.

i don't think it's burnout. the mods have always been very consistent about the PCs' inability to challenge or change the setting in any way

if you were hoping to do that, you joined the wrong game. this has been an established fact for 5 years.

an established fact you only find out if you try throwing your character at the brick wall of actually doing anything in the game

if they put the word "sandbox" in the premise or made it clear in the game pages that characters can't do anything it would save a lot of time and frustration

if you don't know anyone in game, you don't know how bad it is

and until you're in game, it's also easy to think that it's just irate players complaining about not being able to do what they want, or exaggerating
