I do believe one of my characters sent a message to a region Cyrilos Vellos was in. I don't recall a reply. One would've thought that someone who found the lack of out-of-game Local boards discouraging for their actual gaming experience would at least jump at the opportunity to write someone in-game.
Cyrilos is one I'm considering pausing.
And again, you're all misunderstanding how human motivation works.
Giving a person fewer opportunities to engage does not necessarily make each opportunity more valuable. If there are "economies of scale" (and there almost always are), then reducing opportunities to engage makes each opportunity LESS valuable.
