Link3D · #1 10-11-2009, 12:28 PM

I really wonder what happened to the best Playerworld server? I miss O'l West very much! Did it cost too much? Couldn't Tig keep it up

?

Tig:

-PWA
-Graal Kingdoms Manager
-Administration team of Tesbed Server.

I guess adding Ol'West to it is too much work?

I worked there for like a week.. Me and Mag or something were the only ones working there, He told me do design a gmap.. So i started working on that and a few days later he was gone and i never heard anything of him since that day..

Mag asked me a few stuffs too, but I never had time to finish any of them. I got his msn by the way, so he's still alive if any of you wonder.

I think that server could of been really good if it got more attention then it did and had more developers but Tig interest seemed to be more with his other responsibilities and Ol' West was left for Mag to manage which is understandable but hopefully it will come back but the chances are it won't imo.

I don't see what Ol' West ever had to offer.

I get asked almost daily what happened to Ol' West and asked to bring it back, obviously it had a small community, especially on its private forums.

I would like to continue the Ol' West project one day. If I ever get GK back on its feet I will probably resign and then start Ol' West back up, but I can't see that happening for a while.

Edit: Our biggest obstacle and reason for stopping the development of Ol' West was due to lack of development help. It's still a problem today with GK and almost every single server, but I have built a few contacts over time, I feel like I may actually be able to bring Ol' West back and complete it whenever I get the time.

It provided an unique theme other then other Era remakes. It could of stayed away from the constant modern theme. The guns were some what more unquie and not as fast shooting since there was no automatics. Plus the whole Indian vs Cowboy thing could of been done really nicely.

I also liked the concept of Ol' West. I would like to see it up and completed, however, I know that's a hard thing to do and understand Tig is pressed for time.

Hatred89 · #13 10-11-2009, 06:38 PM

Well, also Mag is no where to be found and he was the one running it for its last few years. I don't know how willing he would be to come back unless he had help because him and I would talk quite a bit and he would complain about not being able to find anyone to help him or not enough people at least. I tried to find him people to help but that was when I was trying to hire for three different servers so it was difficult =P. (AEON, GK, and Ol' West)

Ol' West was always interesting, but it never felt finished. I hope Tig gets the time to finish it one day, though it will probably be a while, if ever (he's in college, manager of GK, PWA, pays for/runs Testbed, global guilds admin, etc)

Hatred89 · #15 10-11-2009, 07:19 PM

Yep even though he wants to I doubt that it will come back and if it does I can't see it being finished sadly. I mean it was on the hosted tab for a reason it wasn't finished and I heard some of the developmental ideas they had and it seemed pretty cool and new.
