Depressing news

In terms of #'s though... Im sure we all would have turned off the donations the first time we had "holy shit money" rolling in lol.

Ah well.

Does show how good and mature Rogaen is. Gotta hand it to Rog/Nilbog, they did always handle this server with Alec Guinness.

They weren't getting donations, they were selling in-game items for real-life cash.

We're back to page 1 here folks. Let's keep this party going!

There's two ways to look at it.

1. They thought they were doing something cool and giving back to people for donating.

2. RED RED I SEE RED RED THEY ARE EVIL RED RED

I chose 1.

They showed me that they were good people, and definitly were not "absentee" they were working hard.

If anything it shows that $ and incentive > just doing it for the love of it (no new servers in like 6 years etc).

Lets argue about communism vs capitalism.

Also when are you guys gonna ask for this type of authority when it comes to violent offenders?

ok moving on.

There have been many new servers in the past year, that people really enjoy playing. Ironically those servers got shut down because of THJ.

I want to let you leave this conversation, but I'm bored, I finished all my work, and I'm stuck at my office for another hour.

I'd recommend trying out THJ but, you know..

What happened to THJ?

It was too good, so the investment firm that likes to make money selling krono to 12 boxers shut it down.

I personally don't care that they made money using a dusty ass IP to make money, but the ripple effect does make pooping on them easier. I also don't try to whitewash it from profit to "providing value for donations" as thats a joke. They are following classic private server playbook of selling pay to win shops as "donations". It's always a profit thing but maybe I am just more indifferent to these type of servers because they make some truly impressive custom work.

"Guys, why do MMOs suck now?"

Same person:

"Actually even though they target exploitable markets to make as much money with as little effort as possible, they own the rights and theft is theft also the ones that made the fun version of the game everyone loved should be ruined and hated."

(You know I am not wrong about the irony here.)

People here are wanting it held to the standard of p1999 where people are making amazing stuff as a free non-profit. Where donations are truly just donations. And we are seeing THJ an example of why it has to be this way.
