Skyld, and unknown (never if you use forum activity as a measure of server progress).

It has been awhile since this server has been up, and since then i'm sure many changes to the scripting engine and whatever else was made better or available for use, Is it REALLY necessary to remake all of the graphics for the entire server AND all of the scripting as if you were making something completly from nothing? There was quite a bit of old content, tiles, and other good graphics ready to go, and i'm unsure what was planned with scripting everything, it felt to me like people were making entirely new levels, gani's tilesets and whatnot and making it in the image of bomy moon without using a thing from the old server.

Since the last time it was opened the server went on a fort knox type of lockdown where nothing is shown to the community or talked about other than your assurance that "work is being done, hold your horses please" And sadly, rufus was overwhelmed by the workload, most likely from lack of proper help to do it and now i feel all of the work you have done, koni and lance before you, will not really be used and the next manager will try to add their ideas to the server from square one pretty much, stating such things as "The scripting was poorly done, and a general mess, so i started over and things are going great, but there is lots to do so send in those applications and you might be hired! High quality work only." and the tired excuses some people use about not wanting to work with a certain player because "It just wont work out, we CAN'T work together." that's BS, in the real world you do your damn job even if you hate the other guy, it's all about the server, not your own little personal feelings against another worker.

Haha this is still being passed on from on developer to another? Each one claiming significant progress has been made and some announcement is coming... then nothing comes.

I'd think it would be easy enough to atleast put up a simple release of g2k1, remember when it first came out and there was barely anything to do because nothing was finished? All you could really do was jump rope, do one quest, cs and a couple of other things. Why not release it from it's bare essential form when it was released initially? Then progressively work on finishing and releasing items/jobs/quests like how it did in the first place?

It worked before and it should work again. I mean we are honestly talking about a playerworld that was released 10 years ago. You're never going to get people engaged in it by just simply passing it to someone, that person claiming it's almost done, quits then passes it on to someone else.

What seems to keep happening is people come in, plan to change wayyy too much then lose interest. Please someone just do it right for god sakes or just put it to rest forever.

I agree. Release Bomy for us, and work on the server while we play the basic quests, and while we mine, and cut bushes for gralat and just have fun around the server. Then release packets of content every month or so.

At this rate, Bomy Island will never be released. Did Rufus even work on it? I remember he posted a video on YouTube of him gliding down the swamp. Wtf?

Lol, I was serious.

I belive it would be pretty cool.

Whatever happens, I will only be able to participate if it functions with PC users. There is no way I'm ever going to buy an iPhone. I'm just not into cell phones, or iPods.

[DarkHero]

yeah i remember it was released and people were playing it, then died in a week or so, the player count went down dramatically after a week, it was a good try tho =[ i had faith, i just fished haha

A lot of old faces popping up in this thread . That would be nice to have the old server around for a while, people to reunite. If not then i think its time to let it rest. For the heck of it i will check back here every few months or so to see if any progress has been done. Been doing this for 2 or 3 years now it just seems to be the same stuff over and over again.

I, too, check back every few months just to see how it's going...same old story

if it goes iphone/pc and the playercount was 1k plus 2k1 would be an entirely different world. In addition, those of us without iphones who work full-time and can't sit around in class/their house/whatever people without jobs do would fall behind hardcore as far as the economy went ;/. Kingdoms Wars would be pretty insane though ;D
