are you trying to say thats the only reason you are a manager?

it dosnt matter how they got the playerworld. i am saying that if they don't already know that stuff. they should not be a manager.

Things are easier said than done. They can convince stefan but that still doesnt change the fact that they might suck.

Very true....Some Managers just like that power of abusing a Level4 RC.

how would you go about getting workers if you hardly work? I forgot the idea of hosted tab, I believe it was to show what you have and maybe gain staff, but thats probably wrong, still, Events Team isn't needed yet, not really, I mean when all the classic slots are filled, you apply for the spot, If you get it you are oh so happy, for a good day or 2 you have 100+ players, then all the players go back to where they came from, except people who might have gained staff position from their visit, you're back to 30 players a day. HOPEFULLY THIS ALWAYS WONT HAPPEN TO ALL PLAYERWORLDS CAUSE IM LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME GREAT PLAYERWORLDS. but this happens to most playerworlds. they lose interest after a while. and the least Developed you are, the faster they leave. WORK BOY.

I know......They the Manager realizes that he doesnt wanna waste $59-$99 on a playerworld where no people will ever look...Then he decides to hire staff...Then he must learn to be strict with rights...No level4RC for GP...Lol

I am working on a server, and I am not even going to waste the time buying a server until it's "done" (considering I intend to do major updates to it monthly/bi-monthly even after it's so called "completion").

Even so, I doubt I would hire any staff for it. If I can't do something myself, I will learn, if I can't do something fast enough alone, then it will just have to take longer. If I did hire anyone, it wouldn't be a whole crew, I don't need like 4 of every type of developer, christ, people can do more than one thing, if I hired someone I would expect them to be proficient at multiple things, be over the age of 18, and have a very similar evaluation process on "what makes a good game worth playing". If they can't meet those requirments they are likely too stupid, immature, and lazy to be of any help anyways. Too many times I've been invited to work on servers and was given RC, only to be there for less than a week and realise I was the only one producing any content for the server.

Sadly, alot of these such servers have an owner, 2 co-owners, a manager and like 3 co-managers, and like 1-2 actually working class titles, GAT/NAT, etc. For instance, I think there was a server named Aleria (changed names before once that I know of) or something which had a very similar case, 2 owners, 4 managers, and me, the graphics admin, I was questioning why there were no scripters and I think a owner and a manager claimed to be the scripters, after which I was talking to them about scripting something to implement the GUI/Menu system I spent a couple days doing and they said that's a great idea, let's do it, two weeks later, they hadn't even started.

I had like full rights and folder access the day I was hired.

Yea...Alot of private servers have WAY too many high staff....Ive seen 2 owners and to managers...then 1 co manager...Thats rediculous.

Sadly, they don't always learn that one.

The funniest part is, most of the servers look like they have never been touched by ANY staff, there are way too many default, abandoned playerworlds too.

Of course...But as i said before its up to them if they want to waste all that money on a project....Just dont come whining to globals once your being hacked ot your stuff is removed.

Abusing RC isn't much fun if you're the only one on your server. You would think that logic alone would have them working harder to convince people thier server is worth playing, but sadly it does not. When there is no one to abuse thier RC at, they just get lazy and sit around.
