Yeah, it really is hilarious. Some guy who got pushed into a position he never really wanted criticizing someone else who is supposed to be doing the same job for the server the guy played on for years? Real funny. The thing is though, I am not comparable to Storm at all and Graal2001 is not comparable to Classic either. If I asked for manager of Graal2001 and it was up on the Classic serverlist and instead of working on it I let the players slowly fade away, sure I'd accept that as a dig. Unlike Storm however, I haven't been manager for 4 years, not even half, and Graal2001 isn't on the serverlist, isn't open to the public, and hasn't received an abundance of complaints from players that have fell on deaf ears. I haven't gone for the last resort in terms of staffing, haven't disappeared for months on end, and I don't log on once a month to catch up on things to then do nothing. Hey you're totally right, holy crap I have the same track record as Master Storm!!
As I haven't directly criticized Storm in this thread, I don't see how what you said was relevant to begin with. I did suggest that both WhiteDragon and Thor were incapable of managing the server though, and I stand by it and apparently I'm not the only person who thinks that. When Stefan decided he wanted to port Classic to the iPhone, why is it that instead of going to the Classic staff he asked the Graal2001 staff to work on it? Why is it that before Thor became Dev Admin, I was asked if I was interested in the position, but declined because I had just became
LAT on Graal2001 while Thor had to suck up and provide a design document to Storm to get his position? Perhaps they would make great managers, but I can imagine McDonalds is filled with staff in these current economic times.
Classic wasn't a revival project until very recently, Graal2001 is a complete revival remake of the original server. The amount of work that needs doing on Bomy Island is massive compared to the work that is needed on Classic. If it was a case of releasing two quests and a few NPCs a year, the server would be out and thriving, but that is not the case for Graal2001. You think that I can't say my opinion on the deterioration of Classic because I'm working on a server that is taking a large amount of time to get released? Your own track record is pretty weak (where is Graal2000?) yet you still feel the need to criticize others material, then criticize people who have projects that are actually alive and criticize others?
That is funny.
