Wasn't the poisoned wells of Ul'dah thing one of those? And that caused a lot of conflict since it was "forcing a situation" on non-participants or something? I wasn't there for it, but I vaguely remember hearing something along those lines in a later thread for another city-wide RP event...
I'd rather not get into it, but the short answer is yes. The slightly less short answer is that most of the people complaining weren't even the ones participating and having fun. Something something learn to bubble.
We had other plots though. One involving a terrorist attack on Ul'dah that was foiled, and another featuring some ridiculously over-the-top, lore-breaking recurring-villains-of-90s-action-cartoons. Long story short, people burn out on really big action-adventure plots. Organizing them can be a pain, and each scene tends to run really long, as well.
