Why All The New Pws???

I just don't understand you people. More then 90% of the PWs in production right now either:

----------------------------------
Won't make it online

Make it online but have royal crap, making the owner rather have it offline and not take the abuse

Make it online but won't be able to compete with the other PWs being made
----------------------------------


With that in mind, why do you bother? For the most part, even if you make a graal standard server, how do you plan on competing with those servers BEYOND graal standard?


Its just annoying coming to these boards, then seeing "STARTING NEW PLAYERWORLD I WANT STAFF COME LOOK" then see a post telling nothing of the PW and asking for staff, or showing a comprehensive story with a crappy screenshot, or asking for staff and showing a crappy screenshot.

In my opinion, you are wasting your time, and I suggest you stop working on it now.

probably not many, but u should still keep in mind that like 1 out of every 50 "upcomming PW's" are quite promissing, but sadly most people working on them dont realize how much work is involved and quit working after a while...

Some may be good, and they do it because the current PW's may have nothing to offer, or they think they could make it for players and get lots on it.

20 playerworlds between only 300 people is plain stupid. if there were more people, these playerworlds probably wouldn't be considered ****, because popularity is all you people seem to base it off of at times.

Let me ask you something...what makes a PW popular? Ah...I see...PWs which have quality stuff usually attracts attention, making them popular.

Is that REALLY the reason? Do you ACTUALLY believe that? I am making my PW because I enjoy makng it, not because others will enjoy playing it, though I will enjoy hearing what they think of it. It may seem mean, but its the truth.

Many other do it just so they have some demented form of power in there minds, or because they think they will control something people actually play.

But really, some may say "I'm doing it for the players" but almost 99% of the time, is that really true? Really now, do you think its true? I don't.

Soul Blade, you're right for the most part, however, I don't think "99%" of all pw owners just lie about making pw's for the players.

I'm making Oasis for the following reasons:
- I like making a playerworld
- I want to control the playerworld and make it the best one online
- I want to be 100% in charge of everything that goes on with it. (not like power hungry but I want to have a say in the things that happen)
- I want to make a pw that doesn't contain idiots, bad staff, and corruption
- I want to set a higher standard for current pw's and playerworlds to come

Emphasis on the last one. Imagine... if a playerworld came out, and it completely blew away every other pw online, in every single aspect, it would change Graal pw's forever. PW owners would reevaluate the quality of their playerworlds. PW's in development would try to be of equal or better quality than the awesome pw.

I want to make a playerworld that people will have something to compare crappier pw's to. It's like "look at this awesome pw, then look at what you're making, you need to make it a LOT better" or "look at this awesome pw, and then look at the one you're managing currently" It would increase the quality of all pw's, because either they increased their quality, or they lose all their players to the awesome pw's.

Look at Shaded Legends. It is built wonderfully, but does not have a lot of players. I would play on it before I would oasis or murasamune any day.

Your opinion is moot since you judge playerworlds before you even play them.
