From what you have told me about your policies, I have to say I would not like to see you as a PWA, especially if they come in the play. Perhaps you could try developing for a small server, just to see if you like it. Perhaps then you could understand better what your "policies" would destroy.
I have never personally gotten to know you, but from what you've said ... eh ... but of course, I'm not the one hiring! |
So, let me just ask you a question. What you are implying is you like the fact that there are so many different playerworlds, and the developers are all spread out?
It just seems more logical to me that if we try to eliminate some of the clones before they start and get more developers on new original projects, we'd have more exciting, fun and innovative playerworlds.
It's kind of like when big companies merge, say for instance, cell phones. We get the best of both companies.
I mean honestly, does it really excite anyone when someone posts a thread about their "NEW UBER 1337 SWEET PLAYERWORLD WITH M16S AND TREES AND CARS AND STUFF THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE ERA." Absolutely not. It's a joke.
If a person wants to create a server for fun that's a direct rip off of another playerworld, so be it, but it should be known that it CANNOT make it to the hosted/classic tab.
I think it's just kind of sad that we haven't had a new successful playerworld since, what, Zodiac? Zodiac has a great premise behind it, it really has so much potential, but the graphics are just horrid. It really seems like we are overdue for a quality playerworld.
I've seen so many with potential, but they never get finished. Oasis, Esteria, Tempest of Time, Faheria, Zenkou and Shifting Ages. I mean, you really don't understand how irritating it is to have been around as long as I have, and have not seen one above average playerworld be made available to the public.
That's my two cents.
