No no no,

Developer is above LAT, NAT, etc.
Its a high staff position.

They should have experience on the server as a normal developing staff before being able to tryout for Developer.

Hmm....Im going to try doing this for now on.

Do you realise that people that give away high positions looking for future help never progress? I will repeat again, this thread is the stupidest i have ever seen, you can't just tell people what they should do or how to organize their own playerworld.

Developer is above LAT, NAT GAT?

So you would have a developer like me tell someone like Kaimetsu or Zen what to do, if they were on the same staff team as me?

Theres me thinking it was advice (good advice at that).


Development has high skills in more then one area (i.e. scripting & graphics)
I would suggest NAT/LAT/GAT/SAT/Dev were all the same "level" of authority.

Developer is not exactly a rank.

It is on some servers, Loriel. And I'm pretty sure it was on Babylon last year. I was one of them -_-

[QUOTE=Loriel]Someone pays the rent, they should be left with all freedom they want. QUOTE]

Should but aren't.

If you rent a flat you have to agree to conditions and abide by the land-lords rules. The same thing happens when renting a playerworld.

Exactly.... You can't do anything in this world without some rules you have to abide by. If you want complete freedom from rules I suggest a deserted Island somewhere but then again you still have rules of mother nature to contend with. So case in point there is nothing , absolutely nothing you can do in life that do not have rules in some shape or form. Complete freedom is a pipe dream so get used to them, you cannot escape rules. They will haunt you to the day you die. :\

I think, by 'Developer' they also mean that, instead of doing spicific projects (like N/L/G-AT's), they would also plan the over-all direction of the server. So a Developer would not tell an NAT how to script, or something, but would tell them what they need scripted, and stuff like that. And yea, like Crono said, they'd need skill in 2 or 3 of the development areas...

I personally wouldn't use a rank such as 'developer' because it is not needed really... if the person is that good, might as well make them an admin or something...

who decides what a "rank" is... its up to the pw owner/manager.

Your ignorance is annoying.
Of course there are rules, I know that because I help enforcing them, but the amount of rules you want to enforce is ridiculous.

I think Lance/Tseng told me, that on 2001/Bomy Moon, the position, "Developer" was used to cut down on LAT, NAT, and GAT, to give people with multi talents to help more. So the amount of Developers would cut down the other three positions. Something like that. Oh and, I think it was Lance/Tseng, it was some GST O_o.

GST isn't really a rank either, just a selection of few people who have a better understanding of Graal Scripting than others, there job involves giving information on scripting which where they need Remote Control global access, for some obscure reason.

Whilst a Developer has a fair understanding of 3 or 2 of the 5 main development jobs on Graal (LAT, NAT, GAT, Sounds, Gani) instead of just 1, like GST.

Heck, Instead of having GST why not just make a whole development team out of the best people from the 5 ranks, i.e

Zen - Graphics
Kaimetsu (If he still plays, or Jagen) - Scripting?
etc?

At this specific moment in time it sounds to me like Developers are more Important than GST. No offence buds, some of you GST people are nice
