Many servers have a similar fishing system.. there is only few ways to implement such thing. Look at UN for example.

Yeah, plus I've never even been on that server, nor would I play anything that's not on the classic list.

It honestly doesn't seem like much was changed from what Dan had finished. Then again, I haven't used Dan's in such a long time, but it still looks similar.

You make it sound like only servers that are on the classic list are entertaining/successful. Many servers that aren't on the classic list currently have great gameplay and features. If they ever were put on the classic list it's likely they would be a huge success, especially compared to a server like Era (which seems to be the server you're most "proud" of after being manager for a short while)

There's tons of ways to implement fishing. Here's another for example


There's a ton of old school games you could borrow concepts off and no one would mind.

Agreed. But I guess PWA's choose anyone as a Manager now, even knowing their lack of skill in all, or the most important, Development area's. (I.E Scripting)

Managers are (at least in my opinion) not even supposed to develop. Tim did it anyway. Boo hoo.

Last I heard from Gabriel, which was a very long time ago, he was of the same opinion.

man·ag·er/ˈmanijər/Noun: 1.A person responsible for controlling or administering all or part of a company or similar organization.

I mean in theory, yes, managers do not necessarily need development experience.

However, when looking at managerial candidates, developmental capabilities are big, big, big, big, big plus.

You need to know how the server runs to be successful and that usually comes with someone who has developmental knowledge and capabilities.

In theory, I'd agree that a manager doesn't need to develop, but in practice with such a limited set of players and developers, it's usually better if they can. The last few managers Era's had who couldn't develop ended up being train wrecks.

Why acknowledge the obvious past when you can just repeat the same mistakes over and over?

Also, who wants to spawn me a fish? I want to fit in and slap people, but leaving unstick me is way too much of a hassle.

But you can slap people at unstick!
