Well, prolly 'cause I've been there to hold things together? LOL *wink*
yeah I did that once unintentionally, I had a "please deliver this to ********* immediately, it is a matter of utmost importance!" and I didn't do it for over a month xD
Its still a game, and at some point they have to stop making it to realistic otherwise it becomes to much like work ;)
Well, Merle was a clever old person, and dragged thousands upon thousands of people from Earth to the Spiral and forcefully enrolled them in Ravenwood. That way, even if one person, or even hundreds of people, fail in their tasks, there will always be someone who can keep the "evil" at bay.
All of the quests, all of the NPCs, all of the ghosts and ghouls and talking dogs and sentient crabs that we see walking around are actually actors, y'see. The whole thing is an elaborate ruse, dedicated solely to keeping down vast populations of critters that would otherwise take over the whole Spiral if we could not keep them in check. They give us an incitament to keep killing stuff for them, and build up a story around it that we believe in - that way, we grow extra vengeful in our attacks ("Take THAT, you evil ghosts that stole fairies!")
We're pest control, really. That's why you never see NPCs engaging in battle. They're far too busy fighting the real destructive powers, while we're just running around and killing their equivalent of bedbugs so they don't get distracted. Gamma is also secretly the leader of the entire thing; that's why he's always watching the Spiral Map. He's keeping an eye on the global defences, and ensuring that no bedbug-hunting little newbie wizard manages to poke one of the really big monsters.
