gonna post this one comment, because of the nostalgic feelings i have towards this game.
everything Charr said is true and in my opinion, a little bit understated. the staff team is an absolute joke, always was and always will be. HOSTING EVENTS WILL NOT DO SHIT IF SOON THERE WON'T BE ANY PEOPLE TO HOST THE EVENTS TO and recruiting people to the staff team because they're DECENT players who just do not break any rules is a bad idea. quality over quantity. let me elaborate - it doesn't matter how many people with a couple too many chromosomes you recruit if they turn a blind eye to half the shit that's going on in the community. Recruit people who have an outstanding record for editing wiki pages, writing guides or at least always helping out with the emps world chat for, at the very least, a few months.
A point that wasn't mentioned is that this rsps needs a drastic change. a few months back there was this hot discussion about adding an old school emps world server into the game and it ended with Thomy brushing off the project as being too risky. well, look where that got you. in the most recent emps world trailer, it was mentioned that emps has 100+ players, yeah, nice joke, last i logged in (a few weeks ago) it didn't even have 40 at peak.
in conclusion, either do something bold about the current situation or just shut down emps world overall and stop wasting everyone's time.
p.s was nice chatting with you charr, even though the chats didn't always end on the same note.
