It could be much, much worse.
In all honesty though this isn't a new idea to Graal.

You can't say "life" is your idea, sorry. You just need to man up and move on if this actually upsets you.

Servers fail because of the people who run them not that they're a copy of an existing server.

There can be 1000 copies of your idea and you can still come out on top. Server success has far more to do with the people developing and managing it than any single idea.

In other communities I frequent, there are two common sayings "Ideas are worthless" and "It's all about execution". I think this applies for playerworlds too. Naturally, out of two playerworlds that have the same ideas, the one that is the best will get played more. This could be 'better' in a number of ways - it doesn't really matter.

If you're upset that someone has copied your playerworld's idea, there's obviously a level of fear that what you're building is not so great. Rather than moan, maybe you should strive to change this?

Long & short: stop complaining and build the better playerworld.

Actualy, sir, we decided to work together (The "competition"). We did this to ensure one great sims like server. I really don't agree with your whole "Ideas are worthless" saying. It's not correct and Ideas are what sparks everything in the world. EVERYTHING. XD. And pluss, I have every right to complain as a forum member.

Thanks though for your input.

Take a trestle table and set up a stall on your local marketing selling ideas. Tell me how much, exactly, you make.

I agrree on all of your ideas also. Thanks :P I definetly over reacted!

While do not necessarily concur on the idea that ideas are worthless, I do think that MrDunne is right.
Nothing you can know that isn't known.

Just to emphasize my point. The gaming market is bursting out of it's seams with 'similar' ideas. What differentiate these games is the execution of it. Rather than complain about someone having the same idea, try to prove why your plan and execution are better.
