Last week we lost several areas from the game, largely due to the attitude
of players, who just can't get along. I feel bad for the wizard who spent
a big amount of time developing something which was then (partially) ruined
by ill-behaving players.
Today, I removed a feature from the game that was intended to motivate people
who can't live up to the requirement of having to play for 5 hours everyday
to get somewhere, because it kept generating too much whines and noise. Work-
wise that feature is nowhere near the amount of work that went to the areas
tho.
There are other examples of changes and things that have caused lots of
screaming and abuse in the past as well, but I'm not gonna start listing them
all here.
Is it so hard to see past your own personal greed, and realize that this is a
free service that we try to build for both you, your fellow players as well as
for potential players? Not everything in the game is designed to make *YOUR*
life easier, not everything in the game is meant to be abused by *YOU*. Just
because *YOU* do not gain something from it, doesn't mean somebody else can't
enjoy it.
In all honesty, I salute the wizards who still have the energy and enthusiasm
to bring in new code and content to a game which is populated by loudmouthed
whiners, selfcentered partypoopers and parasites who disregard the nature of
a free, non-commercial community such as ours.

Perhaps it's just me but I feel that arches are just too soft nowadays. A few
well aimed zaps, levelzaps, bans and (whim) removals should've done the trick
nicely.
Actually I'm pretty disappointed that I haven't been zapped for whining over
some stupid reason since 1998 or so. I know I would've deserved some.
Anyways, the point is, others deserved to be zapped/levelzapped/banned even
more during last few weeks.
oh yeah. and whine, moan, bitch, give us powerhour back yhyy yhyy I have to
start playing more than 4h/week to actually gain something again, whine moan,
bitch, itku, winku, whine!
