Phantasy Update
« on: November 13, 2012, 05:31:09 pm »
Taking a whole month to build up the world.

 - newb map with sewers
 - mainland town with barter town for player traders
 - wilderness spawns and roads (tried to avoid flat areas for players)
 - about 6 - 8 dungeons on mainland so far
 - some new monsters plus new images for old, reused ones

Want to ad a handful more dungeons plus do some scripts for monster raiding and ambushes I think.
You may have conquered my worlds, but I destroyed them!

Are you going to be around much when it opens or are you spending so much time working on everything now so you won't have to be around that often?

Or do you plan to pick another person to administrate when it's open?

I am doing a lot now without players around to "upset" me, heh, so I don't give up too early. I do plan to be around as much as I can but everyone knows I jump around.

Or do you plan to pick another person to administrate when it's open?

Is there really someone out there we can trust that won't abuse the power? Someone that won't play very much or not at all and will actually build and make stuff and not just sit around bull wolfting and giving out free pez? Someone who won't ban or muzzle over the stupid stuff you young people talk/complain about too.

Dramatization:
Player says: "Dude, this world sucks. I am gonna go back to My Little Pony's Magic Island."
Admin bans player.
<or>
Player says: "WTF, Halo 4 sucks soo bad"
Admin muzzles player.
<or>
Player says: "AFK macroing off evil elfs, mummy needs trash emptied."
Admin spawns mongrim on player.

Admin behavior like this is obsolete.

Although, I am sure there are some decent admins out there, right?

Honestly I'm not sure there is an admin out there that can really be trusted with 100% certainty. They really cannot be playing and administrating at the same time either, as much as that may suck if a person wants to do both. It always just leads to problems and accusations of cheating.

Anyways it seems like you're adding quite a bit of content before you open so maybe just wait and see how things go before trying to find someone else to administrate in your absence.

whats the point of having power if you can't abuse it?  thats the way I feel about things, and I'm sure most other people do too even though they probably won't admit it.  if you make me an admin I'll have all skills at 999 as soon as the server opens, so definitely not me.

now I always hated the triumvirate system you created, but I could see it being used in a situation like this(unless all 3 agree to help abuse together) where you have 3 admins, it takes 2 to ban/muzzle someone...though that means if only 1 is online at a time you're still pretty much without an admin so ignore this paragraph.

Fly, who you seem to already have working on this, and Ravyn are the only 2 I can think of. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you asked.

Most player-admins are corrupt because of their cliques in game. They sure will be treating their friends better with services directly or indirectly. There is always that biasing. Even being acquainted in the past(As in: hey remember me? You were in my guild!) can bring about a great ordeal. It's only natural, because we're all social beings, so some stuff can be forgiven.

And then there are those players who cry at the most trivial of all things. Even those who get butthurt so easily when they get one-day banned for misbehaving. Then rag about how worthless the admins are until there is none. Players are so sensitive that even a simple question can bring about a raging lunatic. Crybabies.

So it's from both parties of administration and players... but hey I guess it only comes from this game because its a very small and tight-nit community of only of what? a handful of players? unlike those huge MMOs out there, where I've lead guilds that have had more people than 2 or 3 of this game's servers combined. This game's drama is a theatrical, and it what makes RPGWO RPGWO!

There are a few people who are capable. The issue is there is no one person who everyone likes. There are lots of cliques like chrono stated and each one of the cliques is going to fear an admin is going to be unfair so they may not even consider playing.

I agree with all of what you guys have said.. There are however a few people that are in our player base that are decent at what they do.


However I have noticed that a lot of our playerbase, veterans or not, most of them really haven't changed. They haven't aged... Still the same crying ass as they've always been.. Or worse..  There is someone out there that can run it, but its ultimately up to Mickey to decide. I think you should have your server ran for bit until you have time to trust someone. Or let someone initially administrate.. Moderate them.. And when/if they tiger up. Get rid of them.
