When members of the pack were asked "Why do you believe EmeraldMysts is doing so well and why do you choose to stay rather then joining another pack" These were the answers we recieved, followed by the wolf's name and rank at the time the question was asked.

I have been through many packs and never have I felt so close to, mentally, physically and emotionally to a pack. I would do anything for my members in and out of character. A good pack to me is a place were people can go to roleplay and have fun, get to know others and form bonds, when something goes wrong in our lives it is always the pack we can turn to. We are a family, not only in our wolven forms but in our hearts. EmeraldMysts is my pack, my family and my home. I cannot imagin being happier anywhere else. Amythist, Alpha

Well thats easy, the close bond everyone has with oneanother, its a true home/family. Everyone loves one another and you keep the drama out and dont take no shit - Whitewolf, Beta

As far as to why i think it's doing so well is partly due to the Alphas leadership and partly due to the people's activity because without active members, there is no pack. and as to why i enjoy it is because there's no better place then a pack with active members and those that can relate to you as well as those that you create a bond with which creates a family. - SilverEye, Gamma

I think EM is doing so well for the shere fact that so many people want to belong, and help this pack prosper. There's a sense of belonging when you toddle into this channel, no rude people to question you, just plain old friendly people looking for a chance to make friends, that would otherwise never have been. Enjoying it goes right along, it's fun here, hardly ever is there a harsh word. And staying? The real question I'd think is why leave? - Darklight, Gamma

i enjoy it it becuase it a fun and involving enviroment, i also have friends here. i choose to stay becuase it allows me to meet and make new friends. - CrystalGarnet, Guardian

Well, I believe EmeraldMysts does well is because there is no real clash of personalities. Sure, a lot of us are different, but we all enjoy each others' company despite any of that and EM is my family away from my family here. What better place is there to have fun and get to know people well? Hardly anywhere.- Jasper, Battalion

ok thats easy i enjoy em because i love to rp and i love wolves and everyone is so nice and friendly and ive made some great friends that id like to keep and i wish to stay because your all like family to me - Shasta, former packmate

Em is doing well because everyone is nice, and welcoming as far as I've seen. Why I like it is that reason. I feel welcomed, and like family. That the reason I choose to stay, and because it's an interesting concept as far as the whole semi-realistic wolf rp, and I like to rp. - Daciana, Packmate

I enjoy em, for the sence of family that everyone has for each other. the care that they show, and the love that you feel from them that, even when you're gone, stays with you, no matter what. this would be the reason why i stay in em. and for the fact that the rule do not discriminate friend, or enemy. it applies with everyone, not just a certain group of individuals. - Kuma, Packmate

I enjoy being in EM because everyone is nice and kind and even I like the alpha because both are caring and understanding type. I choose to be part of it because I it a family and there not much drama. and everything is like what the real wolfpack is suppose to be like - Inca, Pup

I choose to stay in the pack because their are members I am very close with, and I really enjoy talking to. I also enjo it cause its a place I like to get away and RPing just takes me away from my own problems and gives my wolfie a whole buncha others at time, but its fun and yeah. -Feenix, Omega

I enjoy EM becuase I meet new people and gain new friends, and I choose to stay because I realized that if I left I'd be leaving all that behind - BloodDiamond, Sikla

Emerald Mysts is doing so well because of there organization and actual community feel. It feels like a pack - Amaroq, Pledge

I just really like it here and I have sens I have gotten here evrey one is so frindly and caring and if i or someone else needs help you or another wolfee if thear to help them. Its like a family away from your own family. A home a way from home. Every one just workes together to make it what it is as what Ive seen so far -Clocly, Packmate

I believe EM is doing so well because it with-holds loyal and active members, and also an amazing alpha who is very kind on top of that! I'd choose to stay here because with Morgan is where I have always felt at home, where I have always felt accepted and Morgan always encourages me to keep my goodside. I would never chose another pack over EM if I had choices available. - Kyro, Omega

I believe that you guys are doing well because of the stability within the pack. The members work well together and seem to know their position in the pack. I choose to stay because it feels homely and I've made friends. - DestinyRose, Pledge

-When visitors were asked why they felt EmeraldMysts was doing so well we got similar responces

I think Em is doing so well because everyone in side the channels both OOC and IC have a great connection/bond with everyone including both alphas. I think it makes a good family because everyone tries to be on when they can the role play and through the role play their characters have a good bond with everyone elses characters and themselves. - Desori, Alpha LunarEclipse

EmeraldMyst is one of the packs that has the most outstanding activity by far, thus role-play is frequent and the members all cooperate in any way possible to achieve at something. There are many friendships and strong bonds easily form from them. There's not drama and nobody takes any of the crap people try to throw at this pack because EM will live forevah and evah. - Moonweaver, Lone wolf

Well, for one, I have known you long enough to see you have a qualified alpha status. Your members have a bond that allow them to be responsible when you're away, so activity is pretty awesome. Even if I'm not a member, I do enjoy visiting. To me, it's not about numbers, but the attitude that counts.- Silverlune Kintex, Alpha DawnRunners

Strong Leadership - Tala, Alpha Druids

'Cause people are drawn to active packs, and EM is active .:. attracts more members which adds to the activity lol. EM had a few really active members which attracted more active members and so on and so fourth lol. Oh, and EM has a pretty website. People like pretty websites, ahah.- Kalari, Lone
