Years n years ago the staff were pretty harsh on punishments simply because they could afford lose a few of the toxic players because the player count wouldn’t of been affected

I think you are underestimating how severely the player count is effected when people can bully players (and staff/devs) they don’t like out of the community at will and they know it

Edit: inb4 Patel comes in here saying something about quality of the current player base contributing more to future growth than its current size

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this.

We don't want you to step aside unless you feel it is the best thing for YOU. Do not step aside if you think it is the best thing for PkHonor. All we ask is that others are empowered to do things that will grow the server. I don't think there is anyone in this community who has as much knowledge about running an RSPS than you and Rapsey. PkHonor needs that knowledge in order to survive. I think simply empowering others will result in more content/progress, which will reduce the negativity around the server, which will make it easier on you and Rapsey.

Right now we need to sort out two things:

• We need to de-bottleneck development and we need clarity on the staff team. If that means that developers can release updates on their own, or it requires review from 1 additional developer. Whatever it looks like, we need to make it happen.
• If you guys believe in Jayden (which I think most of the community does), then he needs to be promoted to staff manager. The lack of clarity has been causing numerous issues. We need strong leadership now more than ever.

Receiving a monthly paycheck from PkHonor - even though it's way below minimum wage at this point - still gives me the feeling that I'm fully responsible for the server and what happens to it and it's my duty to step in to sort things out, which I am simply not capable of handling. This in turn puts extra pressure on myself, making matters worse. I have a strong feeling that giving myself pause and yielding any and all responsibilities to someone else is what I need right now to help to sort both myself and the server out, so that I can at least stop feeling guilty about not being there for my server when it needs me the most, while still receiving some (albeit limited) compensation for it.

This would also give a bit of financial room to put someone in place who can receive a compensation for all the hard work they're doing, whether it be for community/staff management or programming (or both, but then it'd have to be split between two people, because I agree that programming and community/staff matters should be handled by different people). I will leave this for Rapsey to decide upon what he feels is the best course of action.

The simple matter of fact is that there just isn't enough revenue to give two people a minimum wage for maintaining this server, but I do believe that some sort of minimal compensation should be in order for those who take up the responsibility of running the server and making executive decisions. Looking back, I should have probably made the decision of passing on my responsibilities a year ago (if not longer), but better late than never.

Honestly would be more than happy to contribute to this sort of thing. I think someone else being the official community manager is a better idea, I think advisory suits me well. Just need access to information and transparency - the less information I have, the less I can make good inferences on what to do and the less useful I become.
