Croyvern Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 That's just valek I have invested a lot of time to have one serious char and two chars to fun around with. If they were all taken away, I'm not sure I'd have the strength to start all over. Not in quite some time at least. I would second this, but it would be a lie. While like most of you I would not like to go through the pwipe thing again, I would ofcourse be rolling up a character as soon as the option was there. I am more curious about the above comment relating to the addition of a new class. While change is nice, it also causes "Planetary Anomolies", so I am willing to be patient while the "exterminators" take care of any bugs creeping around. It was these bugs that resulted in the necessity for the pwipe in AR. Let us be patient and enjoy the fruits of our Gods', and Godesses' labors.

Celerity Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 FL's numbers haven't even come close to recovering after how many we lost from our first pwipe. We then lost a good amount more from the administration change and even more due to stagnation since then. Pwipes are only really needed for core changes to the pfiles. Equipment has nothing really to do with those. I can see us logging on with no eq/very strange eq for awhile, but not enough to warrant a pwipe. But I don't think that this equipment balancing thing is even close to being ready....has it even seriously started? If this were to be a planned downtime, I'd like to hope the staff would at least notify us. So, probably just a crash or server money or something.

Nomak Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think that it is simple mud crash thing and when recovered then it will be haloweeen madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teralis Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 All right all right Ill finally admit it, we were to embaressed to tell everyone or even ask for a little extra money. See this is what happened over the weekend the Imms and I went out on a 48 hour binge of booze and women I am telling you the amount of money we spent would put the stock market back in the green, however this also included the server fees. It is my fault and I will name all my chars so you can all kill them without remorse once we fix this, I have to sell my kids on the black market but hey its worth it just to get to play again right?

We then lost a good amount more from the administration change and even more due to stagnation since then. Lets not kid ourselves here. With the majority of the PB at that time in college/going off to college/realizing that mudding in the '90s is different than mudding in the '00s with kids/plus a huge swing of MMORPGs, the greater catastrophe/lesser numbers came from the lack of mud during the administration changes (not too mention a few people who should never have been given the opportunity to lord it over people), not the PWIPE. Everyone is suddenly going to find a new hobby? Yeah... right. FL is an addiction as strong as any other. You alone have been railing against this, that and the other for nearly a decade now and you're still here, aren't ya? We're an aging community. But anyway, while this convo is fun none the less the odds of anything remotely like this happening in the near future are at best 1000000:1.

Croyvern Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Many will see the buds. Some may pause long enough to see them bloom. A few will take the time to smell the roses. But the patient will be graced with the vision of the pedals falling from the flower as it whithers on the vine. Patience, Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL is an addiction as strong as any other.[/quote'] So, changing technology + changing the administration accounts for our loss of players? I agree on both, and I would go the next step to add in the pwipe. There were some huge saves/moves changes that were NOT popular, and just look at the size of the pbase 3 months after the pwipe. We dropped from a good 60 online to maybe 40 in just a few months. A year later (under Behrens) it was down to 30. What is it at now? 10 or so at peak times? You alone have been railing against this, that and the other for nearly a decade now and you're still here, aren't ya? Alone railing against what? A pwipe? Loss of players? Stagnation? I've been railing against those for a decade? In this one, I really am not catching your point. :eek: Sure, I'm still here. Are you saying that if I'm correct, I should be gone? :confused: Just look at how many people visit the forums but don't play. Look how many more don't even visit the forums anymore. I don't think anyone is going to argue that we haven't had a huge drop in players since the pwipe. It all started there (I love the changes that it brought--don't get me wrong here!). edit: typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
