I've been dealing with house issues and really haven't had much time to do anything else. All we can do for these things is try to drum up interest. As it stands, I'm sure those that are online usually are leveling/gearing/goofing off. Doing whatever makes the game fun to them. It can be discouraging when no one participates and boy do I know it. Hopefully someone submitted fish. I have fish but chose not to be part of the contest since I'm sure others have more need of the gold than I do. Maybe if gold doesn't interest members, maybe we can get items as prizes instead. We have a few crafters that might be able to reserve orbs for crafting an item of their choice.
Creating a poll on this subject may not be a bad idea but again, we gotta get people into the forums. A lot of the newbies haven't shown up here/registered. Me thinks a grind campaign to drum up forum participation is in order again! *cracks whip*
