I don't hate 2k2, I think it's fun. I'm not really upset over being reset, although it does suck.
I got the ring from someone else. Somebody, I don't remember who, came up and dropped it and said I could have it. I didn't glitch anything or cheat. I don't see what the point of a reset was, since this is just an alpha version, why does it have to be done to "make it fair to players"?
I'm not playing the alpha or probably beta versions as I said in my post, but I didn't say I wouldn't play official 2k2. I just don't want to play 2k2 anymore until it's finished so I don't get mad when something gets reset or the like.
I'm not complaining, I was just stating my dilemma and wondering why it was done. I don't know WHY Stefan thinks that it's fun to have to get everything you worked for all over again. Maybe Stefan should play his own game more often and find out just how NOT fun it can be to have to get everything you worked for reset.
I'm just trying to warn people in advance (especially Stefan) that if this kind of reset thing happens when 2k2 is completed and running, there are going to be unhappy people. Staff NEVER think about how bad it is for the players to lose stuff. I should know, I was part of the staff on 2k1 for a while, and I noticed how much the other staff didn't care about the players stuff. (such as Loriel resetting people because of a glitch instead of just removing the one item they had duplicated)
I think 2k2 is nice, and I hope it will be even better when fully done. I'm just not going to waste my time doing everything there is to do now, just to be mad when it gets reset and bored when I have done everything before the server is even really done.
