*I was wondering how often does Nexon Purge Characters.
 
Xian: It is Nexon's decision to make a character purge.  When they decide to make one they will warn everyone in advance for those people that do not want to lose their characters. Character purges names are done depending on how quickly unused names build up, if enough are used after a few months, then one will be done sooner. Last character purge was 3/19 of last year and it was announced over 1 month in advance.  

*Could all archons please make user web pages like Shajara has?

Xian: While it is possible for all archons to make their user webpage, it is their decision to make one or not.  Shajara's user webpage was initially created to test the system and because we know it is working fine there is no real need for other archons to test it.  Perhaps you should try contacting each one of them and ask if they could make their user page.  

*Are there any plans to give carnage winners better prizes at higher levels?  Avatars/Celestial.  

Xian: Currently there are no plans to change or add additional prizes in any level of carnage. If any decision is made about changes to the prizes, I will inform the community about it.

*Why is it we have a special Archon for Events, yet we DO NOT get any events even for a 5th year anniversary, we have to wait for months to get 1 even, and not guaranteed decent. I think all of us are hoping for a really decent event.

Methok: There's a lot of work that has to be done in order to develop an event for use in Nexus.  This includes the thought process in developing the idea, a long (usually five to six page) write-up detailing everything in the event, developing maps for use in the event, determining the monsters and items that will be in the event, creating the actual quest that players will follow to receive their reward, and thorough testing to make sure there aren't any bugs in the event that can be abused.

*How might I be able to help Nexon host one of their events as an important character (eg.: ChiZao)?

Methok: I have said in the past that I will be including event characters in events that I run (this is mainly because I strongly believe that a character that players can interact with boosts roleplay and the general level of fun in the event).  Unfortunately, I am going to have to carefully limit who is able to play these characters.  That does not mean that I will not be asking normal players to help with an event that I create!  It only means that I will need to make sure that a player is VERY trustworthy before they are given the opportunity to play an event character.  In any case, I will contact you if I want you to play an event character, so please don't contact me and ask me to play one.

* During the time Anind was Archon long ago, there was a surplus in RP events that happned throughout the kingdom (Return of LinSkrae, Nangen wars, etc.).  Since then there have been hardly any.  As event Archon will you be doing more big and intresting RP plots?

Methok: I value roleplay very strongly, so, yes, there will be long and interesting roleplay plots that I will develop.  While none of my events' storylines is going to run as long as the ChiZao event did, they will run for quite some time.  You may even think that you've been led astray from the original storyline but in fact, you'd still be following it.  I plan to tie in things that have happened in the past, things that are happening now, and things that will happen in the future into my events, so pay close attention to everything happening...
