My thoughts on Hiddens.

Maybe you don't know the characters who have hiddens because you aren't an admin.

You can't sit there and say that when you don't know what they have done to even deserve stuff.

Bad take.

I say this because in the past in E1 and even some of E2. When someone got a hidden in the world you felt it! Not because im not an admin. Not because I knew the character personally or even the player. Because the overarching story of the world was shown. You could see and feel it. IT affected not just the single player and their rival. But the world. 

Personally I feel like there hasn't been a big antag baddy for a long time because no one has cared to even try and affect the world. This isn't a bad thing. 
but what got me hooked into eternia back in E1 was the fact that players could affect the world. People could affect everyone's story. Not just their own personal. With everyone caring about their own personal stories all I see is people going for is cliques. 

I've heard from many players oocly that if Osrona wanted to they could just run over achyon and be done with them. So why don't they? Why wouldn't they? If achyon is the biggest threat to Osrona why wouldn't they just take out the city if they can. Osrona has the most allies. Achyon has none from what I've heard. The same can be said towards with the Mire still being around. Hell they just lost their leaders in their own wedding! Which only happened cause of a cuckplot from what I've heard in VCs. Nothing is keeping the Mire from just being stomped out. 

Why? Because who cares? Their personal story is done. Why should it matter if a monster infested area is existing and having monsters frequently leave to attack randos. Who cares? My personal story is done. 

Why should Osrona not finish off their biggest enemy? Most of the players personal stories are done. No need to go take down a city they've been at war at for years. 

This is why the story feels stale. Too many people just not caring about the story of the world as a whole. 

That's just my take on it all. My based opinion that will probably get me downvoted.
