Just to reiterate further, I wanted to clarify a few things (for everyone) about myself, this server and other things. (my signature spells it out)

Some people misinterpret the goals, or intentions of my projects. Too many people are stuck on those "player collector" motives for anyone putting a server on that public list, or why they are even developing a server. But I am not part of that "everybody" or "nobody" group that some will refer to in their opinions. (everybody does this, nobody does that, etc).

I currently have 4 active projects that I am working on and a couple sitting on the shelf collecting dust, but everything I am doing is strictly for my own enjoyment, which has nothing to do with the common "public server" goals. Most of the enjoyment I get out of this, is the work I love doing on these projects. As along as I can continue doing that, I'm in my happy place.

When I put one of those projects up for public players to log on, it's simply to share my work with the player community. If there is any kind of an interest in it, (even low population) I will keep the server up, if not, I will remove it from public access. Take the last one, the Ever Luclin server. There was no interest in it from the public, but it still exists with it's own private login server, because I have some real life friends playing on it, casually.

The whole PoPower server project was started long ago, initially was designated with "Bastion of Thunder" name, but before it went up on public list, I put that on the shelf and started working on the Luclin server, just because it was another interest of mine.

The PoPower server, as long as there continues to be more than "0" population on it (casual players or whatever), it will stay up. But if there ever comes a time when absolutley nobody is playing on it. I will remove it from the public list and won't loose any sleep over it. I'll just continue on with my other work.

Any other projects I am working on are completely custom and have no relevance to "era" or expansions. The latest one, for example, "A Box of Fun". The name of it is not 100 percent directly related to it's content. I am having a blast working on it, trying things, experimenting, etc, and although it is destined to be up on that public list eventually, most of my enjoyment from that project is happening right now, long before it ever reaches the player community.

But once I have created a server, with most of the work done on it, (nothing left but undiscovered bugs to work out), I have already achieved my goals and relish in the fun I had doing it. Most of the enjoyment, fun and happiness has happened long before it shows up on the public server list, if ever gets that far. (it's not a priority in my happiness).

Don't get me wrong, because I do have fun when other players are on the server and I love to watch them have fun and if I can contribute to that, I won't hesitate. The current players on PoPower are in that "fun class" that I can appreciate a lot. Really great group of people.
