If anything, I see them correcting us for not doing these things ourselves as a community to whichever forum we registered to. This is the only one I belong to and they have tried various ways to attract new members and keep things interesting for current members. Kudos to them for their efforts, but even they will tell you that there's only so much they can do. The burden still lies with us, you and me, simple members creating ways to be active here and there in-game.

I'm very sorry, but after over 6 months with any new content (although I don't count the Aprilish update since it was an add-on to ship customization, making it almost 12 months without any new content), it is really hard for me to believe that they know what they're doing. After this long without any new content, and the fact that the game is rapidly decreasing in quality and popularity (there are DEFINITELY less people on than there were 6 months ago), more "popularity contests" should be the last thing on their list. I unfortunately am going to have to go with Cannonfury on this one. With the state of the game the way it is, these contests are really bad for the game. They really don't do anything, and it isn't going to make the game any better.

I cannot and will not congratulate POTCO for yet another contest like this when the game so desperately needs a fresh and good update, especially when they have not had bug fixes for something like 6 months, and absolutely no communication between us and them regarding what they might be working on, if they are working on anything at all (even I, formerly so optimistic about the game, have begun to doubt).

Honestly, we can no longer just sit by and believe that these are just things that they're doing to keep up suspense or something. The community of POTCO has been patient for a long time, far too long. At this point, more of these contests are probably hurting the game.

That's my criticism for now. Either way, back to this contest, good luck to those who wish to win. I'm sure there are still many fine guilds out there who would be worthy of victory in this contest.
