Well, I am finally tired of this bullshit I have been seeing lately.
Mainly along the long standing arguement, that classic players are better than 2001 players, and vice-versa.
Why does it matter so much? Classic is rarely brought up on these forums, and I don't see people just going around bashing classic unless someone comes on here and starts bashing 2001.
Unfortuantly, classic has it's really bad players. The people who play on classic are generally the ones who use "u" "r" and "y" in place of actual words.
Sorry, but this is true. You can not deny the majority of classic players talk like that. I'm not saying everyone does, but enough do. Anyway, moving on.
Now a lot of 2001 players talk, more normally but are prone to talking really stupidly sometimes, as a joke. This leads newer people to try to immatate this, and now it is not even funny really to say things like "ocool" and the like, that Spi was prone to do. I talk like that sometimes, in the manner of joking. Because I was around back when it was being done as a joke and before it was the "cool" thing or whatever to do.
Ah, how I love to rant sometimes. It's so fun, and I do it so much in real life. Anyway.
Classic players come on here and call 2001 elitests, and say that classic staff works harder and classic players make much better staff...so who is the one who is being elitest?
Granted some 2001 players do go onto classic thinking that they will instantly get a job, and who knows? Maybe some people could.
2001 does have talented people working for it, but so does classic. Which server you work for is based on personal taste I guess. The level style are completely different on each server.
Eh...where was I? Oh yes.
Anyway, whatever server you play on doesn't automaticly mean you will be good for administration then others. There are notable 2001 players who go on to make good administration on classic, like Lyndzey. She's a former 2001 Police Chief, and now she's GP Chief on classic, and I don't hear complaints. Dark Cloud plays both servers and he's classic FAQ Chief. Now, granted as well some of the better people in administration have come from classic, like SnakeEyes, and Kyle among others. But, 2001 have their good people as well, such as Birdbird, Loriel (back when he was a manager) and Agelaos.
I play on both servers, and playerworlds as well. Other people do too. Unfortuantly no one wants to give another server much of a chance.
For classic people, they don't like 2001 because it's not as large as classic, and the levels are much different, as 2001 is a much more lush, and green place. And if one bad thing happens or they run into one or two bad people on 2001 they assume everyone is like that, then go and call everyone corrupt, and therefore make themself automaticly biased forever against 2001 and it's players. 2001 people sometimes do the same thing. But honestly, let's face it: people like to be where their friends are. No one wants to play on a server that none of their friends play on.
I guess, in conclusion just try and stop the fightning and be a tad bit more tolerable and open minded towards the players of each server. Both servers are uniqe and different from each other, just as the players. Playing on one does not make you better then someone who plays on the other. Thinking so, is as stupid as assuming that you are better than a "newbie" simply because you have played longer then them. I've only been playing for a year now. So anyone else who has been playing longer than me is somehow more intelligent, wittier, and generally a better player than I? See how stupid that sounds? Almost as stupid as calling classic players "freeloaders".
The players of both servers make the game. Without the players this game would not exist. And as most people played classic before they decided to upgrade for 2001 (like myself, as I played classic for several months or more before upgrading) without classic and those players there would be no reason to have made 2001 or anything else. Supply and demand almost. A lot of people play classic, so something new and "better" is made to attract more players. |
