TBH, we need to rethink what we expect from OF's. Attaining officialdom in itself is a huge chore that few successfully accomplish - and for little or no tangible benefits unless they're trying to make a new kind of faction or canonize a new NPC faction.
The process of maintaining officialdom has little or nothing to do with contributing to the server in any real capacity - a lot of people either just log out of sheer obligation and do the bare minimum to keep the legacy of their hard work from dying, and it's not a good look.
