Chances @ Playerworld Ownership....

nyghtGT · #1 06-01-2002, 08:45 PM

It's not funny how many times i've ALMOST owned a server.

Andor, I was Admin, right behind Ne0, when Ne0 gets owner guess who would've been Co? Me.

Babylon, I was right behind IonFlux, when Zen and LH leave guess who misses another opportunity to be Co? Me.

Delteria, I was the only LAT, about to be LAT Chief. I leave Delteria and work on Babylon, Sp Agent becomes Head LAT. Delteria is taken down and put back up with SP Agent as Co Owner. Guess who isn't? Me.

It's sad

Why would you want to own a playerworld? It doesn't seem like it's all fun and games.

Couldn't you get your ideas working as a LAT?

despite all the flaming, it has its good points, like gt said. i enjoy it alot, even if it is extremly hard work. but trust me, nothing can prepare you for owning a playerworld, its ALOT harder than people think

GraalBR · #6 06-01-2002, 08:53 PM

Yeah Owning a PW would be cool to think ur owning something that people choose to play :-D

In 2 of his cases, people didn't play the playerworld.

Lao_Su2 · #8 06-01-2002, 09:14 PM

I think that ownership could be a very great thing and i think(dont mock me)
that it is better if you get a PW that is not very popular so u can set a goal to make it one of the servers that people play on

Being a owner can't be that difficult. I was "manager" of 2k1, which was pretty much owner.. of course I had Birdbird managing with me. We didn't get a lot done but then again, I didn't really own the server, so I didn't feel like it was my call to make.

Being LAT isn't good enough guys.. you have to understand that a simple LAT or even Head LAT can't make big decisions like changing the entire battle system, making changes to the economy, etc. Sure they can make shops, and the npc admin people can edit npcs, but out of all my time on 2k1 as staff, I wanted to make a new Q inventory menu, but when I was LAT I didn't feel I should be doing that even though I wanted to.

About Nyght almost owning all these servers.. it goes to show you most server owners (that have public servers online now) are complete idiots. They will give people ftp access that they barely know, and if you have minimal skill they will give you RC, etc. I'm sure anyone that can make a decent npc could get a job on most of the servers.. then work their way up to admin.

It's kind of depressing.

People are saying I'm too strict with my LAT applications :o

I agree being a LAT does not give me the creative influence I need especially when the owners on the 2 servers I work on are hardly on.

My engagements with Delteria, Andor, and Babylon were no fling type of things. I spent many long hours working on NPCs and levels for Delteria and had been playing it since Jan 2001. For Andor I was hire by Zorg when it was Bravo and slowly earned my way to my admin job. With Babylon I was the first and only LAT it had, besides LH, and I enjoyed it a lot.

If that ever happens again come see me and I'll help sort out the situation =D ^_^ the least I can do is get everything straight.

LilNiglet · #13 06-01-2002, 10:37 PM

I've been NAT on Delt since January. I've made the Hat NPC for Delt, and I have two test levels full of NPCs. Yet I'm still a NAT. Even the NAT Admin has MUCH less stuff than me! But I dun care; I like being NAT.

Nyght, Warcaptain has his own server and his staff don't give a damn about him

azuretek23 · #16 06-02-2002, 12:25 AM

I am like a lvl 0 RC on delt but I give tasty ideas to blade.... right now we are workin on some top secret stuff

I think you just need to get your ideas out there it dosent matter your rank

you should show examples of what it should be instead of asking because then they will allways say no

-off to work on top secret stuff

Well that is his loss not mine, I mean, there should be no hatred or sibling type rivalry amongst playerworld staff. They should all work together and if they can't they should be replaced by people who can...

konidias · #18 06-02-2002, 12:53 AM

Oh and by most, I didn't mean all owners are stupid.. just most of them.

I'm sure I could go under a different screen name, waltz on to about any server on the list and in less than a month, hold a staff position high enough to have access to ftp or npc control. I should do that one of these days.

A perfect point, servers need to have more stable staff teams then they currently do...

A lot of those things are true, I remember all I made for delteria was a status bar to try out and I eventually made my way up to NPC Admin there
And Tupper, you can have 100000 simple NPCs but more praise will go to the 1 that is really leet compared to the 100000 simple NPCs

I had about 4 of em up, I made 4 of them in one day once, it's not like they're hard

nyghtGT · #25 06-02-2002, 02:59 AM

I remember we had one of them, but then someone didn't like it and it was taken down, Jagen does really good work though...

RokkumanZero · #26 06-02-2002, 03:16 AM

My GFX skills are no where near some of my predecessors. But I make sure I get things done and listen to people and only hire people who either: make good gfx and are dedicated, or make excellent graphics.

I ended up becoming asst GFX admin within one week. Lord Elric was fired and since I was the only one Shinoku trusted with the power (known him for over a year) he promoted me. and when Menion quit, he quit, so I got his position.
