We find the recent matters regarding both the bans of Impy, Karst, Lythrilux, Mephistoles, Snoopy, and Swifty as well as the administration’s attitude towards any dissent on the subject deeply concerning. In addition, we find transparency and justification for the bans to be lacking. We do not find the canned and pre-prepared statements given by the administration to be sufficient in justifying their decision. Finally, we find the administration’s response of “If you don’t like us, leave” to be damaging to the game environment that we in the development team attempt to cultivate.
and is that the right thing to do ?
I think what you guys did is nothing more than stabbing Disco in the heart.
when this drama started i was very disappointing it was like watching a repeated story of all the servers that are gone with the wind in the past and i was like watching a nightmare of Disco falling down but you know what ? no it will not its greater than this and it will remain over every hater nose because we still are able to have fun no matter how some try to destroy the fun we are still able to enjoy it and have fun, and we will.
There is always a law and the soul of the law which is the space that an admin can move on and decide to give the minimum punishment or the maximum and i think this is what the admins did. I might not know the people who was banned personally but i know the feed back i was getting when i came new to this server and the kind of troubles and problems and i dont think that all the people i met who spoke about it they lie specially that i have faced myself what i have been warned from but to be honest also i have heard that some of the people who cause troubles in the community are in their way to change for the better but if the decision of the ban is not an individual decision and the group admins decided to ban them and specially after the ""Development Team Strike"" i think i agree with the admins i might not have agreed 100% if there was no ""Development Team Strike"" not because the banned people are innocent no because equity doesn't always mean justice, but with what i see explains a lot and makes me realize many things that i did not notice as kind of new here.
When i came here new i have had an being attacked and assumed and lots and lots of drama in the feedback and many many other things that no need to mention in details which made me very sad that i am not at all the trouble maker kind made me feel so disappointed and frustrated and helpless and then i decided to talking to one of the admins which in my opinion is the best person i have seen in here we was talking about how some people are accusing me of breaking the rules and do meta gaming and causing me many troubles and making me not having fun anymore in the game and its too much pressure and drama for me as i play freelancer online since 2003/2004 and i have never seen such a drama like in here and he also told me that the admin team dont punish people out of the blue without evidence and his words and his explanation to me was the reason why i am still here and why i didnt became a victim of meta gaming and left the server after the fun is gone. back to early 90's when i used to run IRC chat server i know how hard it was to keep thousands of people on track with the rules so what we used to do is ""every one is guilty until the opposite is proven"" it was not 100% fair from the narrow opinion but thinking outside the box it was fair in the opinion of the full picture
Simply i have had high expectations for the admins and when i was accused of cheating and got all my chars removed what happened did not meet my expectations so it was a big disappointment to me but after time i realized that the admin team do not have any bad intention to anyone or to the server and yes i have to prove that i dont cheat and the money they saw going back and forth between chars and base with alot of changing names is suspicious and i have to prove its not cheating specially that the admins have many more important things to do other than tracing stupid money transfer.
And after reading everything very carefully now about the people who got banned and everyone comment i can now say my opinion with all my respect to everyone and no hard feelings the bad intention comes from ""Development Team Strike""
