Whatever happened to Babylon?

I always used to go there back when I was trial, then I got banned because somebody thought I was hacking, because they had bushes growing back on their screens where I was walking. They called an admin and he/she jailed my friend, then me. But I got a perm. ban.
Then I started going on with a trial acct just because I liked playing the events. But about half a month ago, I went on and nothing was there, just some random bushes/broken houses. Were they under construction or have they died? I hope they're still there, although not on the classic list, because I want my acct unbanned so I can play some of their events again!

You people here are smart. You know that's not hacking.

It's "under construction" which is seemingly synomonous with "Remake Levels but still have the exact same thing".

Supposed to go back public on the 21st, but honestly, i'm not getting my hopes up.

I lived, breathed and made Babylon with fellow developers for 4 years, only to get squandered by some overpowered wannabe that was made Manager because he can script and make terrible levels.

Without Alexander being an active Owner/Manager, (I know hes trying), Babylon will never get better. These two new "Managers" don't know what the hell they're doing.

Well don't be one to say anything Sephiroth. I recently decided to work there and have had a lot of progress in the past few days. Today I added a new job and already
started on a new quest.

I'm not new to my knowledge. Babylon has taken off considerably since we removed the slackers and the ones constantly dragging us down with non-constructive criticism (you, for one).

And cheatbobb I believe your account is unbanned.

Seph....Alexander wont be active and even if he was, does that meen he will do anything good for Babylon? This time around Babylon is run more like a team. And not just a few bums complaining all the time and makeing random crappy things. More Organization more everything. Progress is actually happening this time. Unlike while you were around. You should have been a big man and did what I do almost everyday I get on Bab. Push everyone to work the best I can. And Guess what it works. I dont have to depend on Alexander or Malinko or just 2 people for everything. I can more or less depend on everyone. What Im really trying to get to is that. Babylon is changing and it will change if Alexander helps or not.

Yeah I gave up relying on people after the first 3 YEARS.
Yeah I gave up pushing people after the first 3 YEARS.
Yeah I gave up on EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING after the first 3 YEARS.

You have no idea what it was like. Even when I did my job I was the source of controversy for logging on. ANd because some pompus little ***** thinks shes the world, I don't have the privilage of continuing where I belong.
I always did my job, one way or another, whether you knew it or not.

Enough public argueing.

Calm down and fix your swearing, or you'll be out of here faster than you can say "banned".

True dat, homie.

The current managers of Babylon are hopeless. If anyone should be manager it should be Inferno (aka farte6 and Infernix).

Goodluck, I do hope that Calani did pass the test because of the hard work and not because of her persona on Babylon.

Why not get James back as Manager? He did a great job managing and developing.

contiga · #12 06-10-2005, 02:33 PM

Contiga for Manager!!!

but babylon's style is really similar to UN. How do expect the people will pick up and leave UN to come here? They cherish thier kills/deaths rate, their hours and guilds. Its not easy giving those up and becoming a noob over again.

look at SL. everything about the server was better than UN, and even that didnt survive.

Graal is a game celebrated by adolescents who also treasure identity. If you want to make a server beat UN, you need to have a server which pushes forward the notion that everyone is an individual. Also, if you have alot, and I mean ALOT of jobs which are necessary that players can obtain with relative ease, then you will attract a base. What I mean is this:

Have an economy and server where players can actually join official staff positions, such as (Pizza Staff) or so on. They like that kind of thing. Pay them, give them groovy ganis/NPCs to spend their money on. UN succeeds because it has interesting NPCs to play with (look at all the freaking instruments, for example) and so on. It also has the events and so on. ALSO! At onlinestartlocal, have examples of the NPCs so the players don't have to look for them. You have, on average, 5 minutes to either a)enthrall a player or b) lose them to their regular server. Anyway, I've got tons more to say but no time to say it.
