Classic Progress Report.

Despite my post asking for this to end, it has not. Surprise Surprise.
Whatever.

Like every one of these posts, it curved off topic...way off topic might I add, and had to be brought back on topic. Shows you how much people really care on this matter, doesn't it?

If a guild and its guild house is the downfall of Classic, then you really need a reality check on what caused the downfall of Classic. The playercount has dwindled ever since the time of p2p. It came back for a bit, but then fell again after the lack of updates. Now instead of embracing the updates Storm has planned, you want them done faster, and on your schedule. That's just being greedy.

I won't stop until I've seen results.

I don't blame everything on Ventrue. They are apart of the problem, (actually just the few corrupted staff members who're around it), but most of the problem is Storm.

P2P effected Classic, as every server, but everyone else managed to turn around and recuperate. Classic hasn't. All the Managers are at fault for this one. Tyhm for going inactive, Com013 for leaving, the others who were there. Then we come to Storm, he took over, tried to get some levels up, couldn't (because of some bogus reason, he could have rescripted a bow and bomb), then decides to delete all the work on dev, start over, make a poor hit detection system, then when its put up, he forces this down the throuts of us Classic members, even though we complained. He ignores the player's opinion, thoughts, etc. We continue on, several months after the initial release. Nothing is added. Continue some more, we're promised some quests, but nothing is released. What is it, six months now? No quests, no updates. He blames in on various things (not everyone has V3,V4 or some bug in some systems), these are very poor reasons, he could have developed and worked out bugs as he went. Hit detection system. I don't know where to begin. It doesn't work. Various bugs, that I've reported to him, haven't been fixed (killing people who are paused, killing people who 'lag out', laming rating from other accounts, etc).

The problem is, Storm doesn't have a schedule. He doesn't believe in deadlines, he told me that himself. He has no plans for the future, well not until V4 is released to the public (and they haven't set a release date for this either). Storm is going to leave Classic, it'll stuggle, and die out. When it hits bottom, it'll be impossible to restore. It'll be tainted. Just look at Graal2001. The Management there destroyed the server, and because of their stubbornness, it'll never go anywhere.

I think the best thing that can be done besides removing Storm, is releasing the Levels set to certain people, who would try and build a real version of Classic. Whoever did the best job would get the Classic tab, the other server gets the boot.
