Moratorium Update
Well, Metem, there has been some discussion among the mods on the subject of our Greek moratorium.

It was intended to be a short-term block to help balance out the pantheons, but seeing as it has been in place for seven months now without significant progress in a while, clearly it's not working the way we had hoped, and something needs to be done so that it doesn't hurt our growth and discourage new players from joining us.

Originally, we had specified that each pantheon needed to have a minimum number of members before the moratorium could be lifted. However, instead of forcing an arbitrary headcount, we would like to change it to a matter of percentages. This should allow a little more flexibility for which pantheons people would like to play, since obviously some are more popular than others. Of course, we are still encouraging players to app for lesser-represented pantheons! Hindus and JCs need love!

So, from this point on, the rule of thumb will be that no single pantheon can comprise more than 60% of the the total cast (not counting NPCs). Does that sound reasonable to everyone?

For the record, as it stands currently (rounded to the nearest percentile), the Celtic pantheon makes up 12% of the cast, the Egyptian pantheon makes up 12%, the Greek pantheon makes up 50%, the Hindu pantheon makes up 3%, the Judeo-Christian pantheon makes up 8% of the cast, and the Norse pantheon makes up 15% of the cast.

For those of you who have inquired about expanding the number of pantheons beyond the six we currently have, we have not forgotten your interest. However, we would still like to see a more even population spread before offering more choices on that front to keep the number of "micro-pantheons" to a minimum. At this point in time, we will revisit the possibility of opening up additional pantheons once the least-represented pantheon makes up at least 10% of the total cast.
