The reset..the cause of this.
The reset..the solution to this..

RESET IT ALREADY

On behalf of the staff of newmain, I can tell you that most --if any-- of us have no idea about when the reset will be, if there even will be a reset, or anything else.

My best estimate is that, IF it happens, it will be at LEAST 2 months. I base this solely on progress I can see...which coincidentally happens to be little! Hopefully konidias can finish his systems soon and perhaps give us something to do, becuase he's given us two very mutually barring statements.

Before the dev server went up, it was "When the dev server comes out, you will no longer work at the newmain server, and only work at the dev server."

And now that we have the dev server, it's "You are not allowed to add ANYTHING. Weapons, NPCs, classes, etc., without sending it to me first.

I want to add the display system I designed for 2k1 eventually(currently about half done, would need some rescripting to work on the dev server), but neither Kamuii or Konidias has taken the time to take a look at it, even though I have asked both of them more than once, and the most recent time I asked was about weeks ago. I don't like bugging people, so I haven't asked more than twice.

So, yeah. That's why it's a ghosttown. Staff are confused as to what to do. Personally I stay at the main server and work on things there, in hopes to eventually get it released on the dev server, so I'm at least remaining productive.

i would say reset is only about 30% of the cause...the other 70% is 2k2 and the fact 2k1 is still a p2p server when there's an immediately more intriging p2p server *cough*

SaitoHajime · #6 11-09-2002, 08:08 AM

2k1 can still be p2p and attract the same amount of people, Chris. The problem is it is BORING RIGHT NOW. There is nothing to do, nothing to work on, and nobody to trade with.

If by some miracle 50 people started playing it again, then it would instantly become popular again, because there are people to interact with. That interaction is what keeps the server alive.

Game gets boring. Some players leave. There are less people to interact with. It gets more boring. More players leave. Even fewer people to interact with. Even more boring. Cylce continues.

yes but everyone that played before has joined 2k2...the majority of them aren't coming back. as for newbies, they would most likely logon with the small population...see nothing interesting as it is their 1st time there and then logon to 2k2...see the leeter gfx and stuff and say "OMG ISH ARE BE 1337ER, 1 ARE 5TAY H3RE,K"

To be able to reset, we must get ready for the reset, which we aren't allowed to do.

I've been busy the past week and a half with life stuff and school. :[

You should learn to bug me, I get things done faster that way.

Vyse_the_Blue_Rogue · #12 11-09-2002, 09:42 PM

I know that even most staff don't know anything about the reset..
I'm going to say that Konidias doesn't appear to know what he's doing..

--Chris-- · #13 11-09-2002, 09:45 PM

kam00m00's life issues - *watches kam00 stump his toe* =P

MrCharles · #14 11-09-2002, 11:02 PM

I still go on 2k1. Alone.

Its also because 2k2 came and shot 2k1 in the head then stabbed it will a dull butter knife until it was just a bleeding pulp.
