We should really write bios of each member of Revora from Hosted upwards.

I paid Phil to promote me to Division Leader.

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Really? I could have paid for that? God, I should have known my money could be better spent than on a silly Net Admin!

[Pasidon]

I hear the sounds of people questioning authority.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I slept my way to the top, then needed some sleep.

[Lenwë]

I see. Are you paid for this then?

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

To what? Meander around and look important? I wish.

[Mathijs]

I see. Are you paid for this then?

Haha, no. 

 

Phil, when am I going to get paid?

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Finally, someone asking the real questions around here

[Pasidon]

It's not about money, Len.  It's about... the... ... uhh... ... ... ... 

[Gen.Kenobi]

We just wanna make the world dance.

[Pasidon]

Yea.  Because if the world is dancing, then money might fall out of their pockets.

[Lenwë]

I didn't know if you were paid or not but I thought you would have been. Like do you consider this a day job? 

 

If this isn't too personal: on average then how long would you spend daily on Revora?

Asking people who don't make money if they would like to make money isn't really personal.  

 

And I dunno how much time I spend here.  I just leave it up on my second monitor and randomly browse when I'm bored of working.

Of course we don't get paid. I have a lot of free time on my hands these days so I do tend to spend a few hours every day on T3A, be it moderation, answering questions, managing my mods, furthering our nefarious goals, etc.

[Lenwë]

I see. My last question now is... and this may be a rather touchy subject

 

...do you consider Revora to be dying?

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

This should have its own topic, but well, this topic can't get any more irrelevant, so I'll stay it here. We don't get paid.

 

But honestly? I used to consider it a fun day job. Now I consider Revora my escape, and I spend almost all my free time with a tab open on Revora. I love it here, not as an admin, but as an individual and an equal to everyone else here. There is nobody 'better' than anybody else here, and unlike real-life, we can all pleasantly and openly explore our different skills and hone them among friends. Here I feel accepted, as nowhere else, and I would rather spend my time with every single one of you (bar Thor's fanatic followers) than most of the people I know outside of the internet.

 

I never used to get it why people preferred people on line to supposed "real friends". This place, this community, taught me why, and a lot more, and for that I don't think I'll ever abandon or forget it. Revora won't die for those of us who keep in contact.

[Pasidon]

That's why Revora is better than these other gaming sites.  We're street real.  Like a bunch of stone cold killers. Except the only thing we're killing is time.  ... No idea where that is going.

 

And are we dying?  No.  Someone asks that every year, and here we still are.  If we're dying, then we sure don't act like it.

...do you consider Revora to be dying?

If you had asked me this question a year and a half ago, I would have said yes, Revora's dead already. Now though, with T3A:Online and other prospects, I think it's far from dead. In April we received 1075 new registrations, 300 more than the previous record month, which was in 2007. There's a lot of opportunities that will be coming our way in the future, I think.

 

We've got projects like T3A:Online (which will be growing and expanding in the coming time), Mental Omega still going strong, and it seems now that even the reports of BFME modding's demise have been greatly exaggerated, with activity in T3A's modding section steadily rising.

[Lenwë]

Good to hear, I joined and got active partly because I fear the death and forgetting of BFME. It is getting old but I think it was ahead of its time when it was released.

 

A new generation is really needed to inherit your current roles in the future.
