Thing is, Rogean is right. Alot of the vocal forum community are sociopathic scumbags who for example pick on a guy mercilessly because hes in a wheelchair for christ's sake.
Being cruel and stupid is like a badge of honor to them, as is disrupting and try to demoralize people from playing on the server.
I dont even wanna think about the amount of abuse Rogean probably had to take since he started this server. I would be somewhat pissed too if i was thinking that people would be all pleased with having a pvp server like blue and then having to deal with that amount of stupid bully hate and watching assholes trying to tear down his labor of love.
That being said, there is another part of the server community, and its them that Rogean is letting down.
I mean if he purely doesnt have the time, whatever, thats life.
But if hes punishing the whole server because the majority of holocaust were idiots, thats not right.
Like Mostbitter pointed out, theyre mostly gone from the game anyway.
And if you want them to stay gone, and make the right part of the community flourish, take away most of their opportunity for fun, the ruleset allowing them to grief people excessively.
There i talked about xp loss again.
Again i think Rogean is right, but i also think that its a cop out to use that as an excuse to abandon the server, because there is quite a big job to do on red if its going to be salvaged and not die a slow death. Im pretty sure thats not because of Cast posting pictures of some guy sucking a cock on the forums. There isnt an abandoned thread like "What do YOU want?" called the plugging code or something where Rogean asked people if they thought it was a good idea to implement a plugging code and then never posted in that thread again because Casey is making yet another thread about "******s". There wasnt a super popular thread about yellow text abandoned where even Nilbog voted because Cwall is saying nanananana i can make a troll account in 2mins. Its a huge stretch to try to put that lack of communication and abandonment on the shoulder of bad apples.
Those type of incidents create cynicism about whats said, whats dangled in front of us as a possibility and whats actually done.
Part of the problem also seems to be that dev team is like ostriches on some issues, head in the sand entrenched in their positions not making a move on flaws that were exposed for close to a year now. Pinning all the problems on the bad apples of the server is an example of that ostrich-like attitude.
The entitlement thing can also swing both ways. Since youre playing for free, were allowed to treat you like shit. I wont go into the details but people who know who i am can take the hint. If youre not willing to admit shit happened on both sides... theres truly no communication to be had.

People on here expect Rogean to put in time for a server he doesn't play so others can enjoy it. At the same time 90% of the server are trying to grief others off the server. So we are basically bitching that Rogean doesn't promote the server and add players faster then we can chase them off.

They were trying to grief Rogean off the server as well, thats how fucked up part of the community is (or was), on that count, Sirken and Rogean are right.
