The issue is likely that when they're already halfway into a multiple month or year SL, people who are new to it don't know wtf is going on and will feel excluded. I never really cared for those super long SLs either. I think it breeds this exact type of situation. Longer SLs are cool, but I think the majority should be a lot shorter. No more than a couple weeks... And in different places too. Yeah, the majority live aorund Landing and all that, but people can and do follow it around.

I remember in RR, back when we didn't have the boot because those fucking douchers decided to add it back and fuck them, when we had nearly nightly events we always had a ton of people showing up for them.
