Its nice to know that the staff will delete help pages and not even respond to them.
This shard is to boring once you done everything and have everything. Not enough players to keep the community alive and well.
Once you have crusader/dark rose items you are pretty much at the end game nothing else left to do but do the same things over and over and over again.
I'm sorry to all in my guild but I hope you understand.

Aust, could you explain that please? I am not aware of any page that was just deleted with no response from staff.

I paged about shrinking my pet the pet did not appear in my backpack nor on the ground.

Aust, when was this page made please? Also, what type of pet and the pet's name please.

Last night about 2 Am EST. Steel Steed Thirty.

Aust, at 2AM EST last night there was no staff on the shard to be able to delete your page. You do realize that pages do not survive the auto-restart of the shard that happens at about 3:30AM MST and need to be re-entered after that?

Were you at the hue field when you shrunk it?

yes i was

Your pet exists on the shard and can be retrieved for you. Let me know if you wish for this to happen.

You did not mention if you were aware that pages do not survive the auto-restart of the shard. For as long as you have been on the shard, I would have thought you would have known that staff goes out of their way to be helpful and would not arbitrarily delete pages without responding. That is not the shard we are.

I am sorry you feel that way. Especially in light of the fact that I highly doubt you have done everything and have everything. For example, have you:

Called forth and defeated the Harrower?
Made an aromatheraphy candle or any of the other waxcrafting items?
Created an uber bio pet?
Fought and defeated each Peerless boss? With pets or without?
Collected all the guises that are available via the peerless bosses?
Tried to adventure without your Crusader or Dark Rose gear?
Slain a dragon in the nude?
etc., etc.......

DeVir has a posting somewhere on these forums that basically says that UO is what you make of it. You have it in your power to mix it up and try different things.

And here again we have something that is within the player's powers to improve. Exposure is what makes us visible to prospective players. Voting on the vote sites improves our ranking and thus our exposure. Staff can only vote so much. It is up to each and every player to also vote so that new players will more readily see us and come take a look. As of this morning on the JoinUO site we only had 44 votes for the month. That averages to about 1.5 votes per day. 1.5!!! We have been averaging 5+ players on every evening. If each of those 5 voted once every day, we would have 150+ votes every month and be ranked 13th there, instead of 26th we are now. It is up to the players to help in this area.

We at the Pines (staff and players alike) like you Aust and hope that you will reconsider leaving. Ultimately it is up to you and I will respect your decision either way.
