I tell you what, we will just let people cuss, and talk about sex...no big deal right?
So when are the rules going to reflect the allowing of such things?
I go by the rules because people have to agree to them when they sign up. Unixmad told me once that there was a 0 tolerance rule against sexual content, and that he was totally against it, now he posts that he sees nothing wrong with it in private? omg, they have chat rooms for that crap. I wont be made to look like a fool anymore because I am trying to adhere to unixmad's wishes, then they get changed on a whim.
Rules are going to be allowed to be broken in order to bring in players, and money....it is all about the money now.
So fine and dandy.
And ETD, you are going to be another PW manager that allows whatever is needed to bring in the players, good for you...I am sure Unixmad and stefan will love you for it.
Konidias, you are right, Npulse is dead (except when we get 50 to 60 players once or twice a week)....not because it is a really bad PW, but because we have no staff, and the people who play there like to sit and talk alot...dont pretend that you know what is going on from going on there once or twice.
Yes, I am mad...I am tired of busting my ass just for people to trash me for following rules so thoroughly, and I am tired of people trashing npulse about not having or doing this or that, but noone wants to contribute anything except their complaints, and I am tired of rules written being changed at a whim, but the typed ones never change, and makes us few that follow the rules look foolish....I guess the people were right who said the rules are put there to protect the owners ass, and for no other reason.
This is what the players see, so there you go
I think my wife has pretty well summed it up for me so I really don't have anything to add to it. It is Fathers day and I will spend the rest of the day trying to enjoy it and not getting upset by what has just been revealed here by Unixmad and what appears to be a change on rules yet not the written rules. So be it; it is your Game Unixmad and your right to do it.

Well it’s better than nothing. My only real complaint is that some globals have instant real-time communication with those who can aid their job, and we do not. And it seems we have to look over the whole PW community to some extent, yet we do not have real-time communication. I asked Stefan:

You (11/06/2003 15:35:49):

Also there is a BIG communication break between the PWA and you, no contact =/
---
Opposite (11/06/2003 15:39:02):
most admins can contact me on the debug server though
Dont get mad as I am not trying to make you be so, as last time someone complained about communication you replied what else do they want, you home phone, well no I dont, but if we wish to contact Stefan we seem to have to pass messages along a chain of people, and sometimes we only want Stefan or you to see such things... x_X

And I did email you a few days ago, but heres one part that needs doing:

HOGGING RESOURCES? Are you insane? We are a much more active server than MANY that are on the list.

lol. I guess I need to get in gear again, huh? Trouble is, I'm still lacking a lot of what I need yet. I still don't have a working damage control NPC script(s) for damage between players. I've tried before and the NPC server seems to hate me doing triggeraction with params in it each time back and forth.
If I had something like that working then I could easily put everything else into place such as exp gain and leveling.

I've also tried to find people to assist with levels, but I fail to find anyone that can at least copy what I do. That's really all I need is someone that is quick to learn a person's particular method and go from there and be able to work from given instructions without much complaining.

Still need a person that is skilled in making character sprites. I deem it an essential part considering that I want custom animations for magic and attack skills and for using weapons.

I am not worried about finding players... as long as i have a quality world, with quality staff, and a good community, i am sure we will have a nice playercount
=)
you seem to have forgotten the 7 months of GP service i did on n-pulse... people thought i was a good, and fair GP, because i know when, and when not to be strict...

if 2 friends are just having fun, and they mean no harm, then why ban them? such as this conversation... who was being harmed here? all involved was fine with it, and it was a private conversation... i'd understand if it was in masses, and people had a problem with it, but we weren't bothering anyone
=)
i understand the warning... but for MG to bring it up like 3 days later, and for you to say you'd ban my guild for that was just too much
0.o'
there's a difference between being fair, and being corrupt.

A quality world is not an instant or a given. Just because you may have fancy graphics does not automattcially make it quality. You still have to work for it. Having sparkly graphics yet a lack-luster world is not quality. Obviously, you're not going to please everyone. Personally, I focus on what I want not what players want. If such a philosophy works for Miyamoto then it certainly can work for me

I believe this problem would be resolved if we could get a global right-less RC for communication only. I've been severely hindered in doing my job since my IP range was set to not allow local RCs (for global warpto). What used to take 20 minutes now takes 3 hours, and over 3 hours people come and go from the server and lines of communication get broken. If we had the RC we could get onto debug when we needed to contact stefan and not have to worry about who is online that we can ask to do it for us.

we have more than flashy graphics =P I have a dedicated staff TEAM... that's the thing about most of these better PWs that have been developed,.... they look awsome, but often, it's just a small group working on it... where-as, we have a large group of 'followers,' if you will, that want this server online, and are willing to do the work to get it there.

I am not trying to please everyone with this PW, and that is why i think we will do well
=)
I would not be slack on the graal rules, because that is not the type of players i am going to try to attract...
I am working on creating a world for oldbies, and more mature players, who want a break from the immature players of most servers, and they want to have fun =) lots of updates, and activitys...

anyways, yea, you're right, i am working for what i want a PW to be like =) and it seems others want the same thing...

A small team is easier to function with rather than a grossly large one. Better communication and no one trying to step on each other in order to have more power; everyone is trying to take care of each other. Again, large teams != quality. Its not how much you have is what you do with what you have. Oldbies? Please, they are long gone
