Honestly in the fucking alpha stages of a project, you should really restrict your bitching to bug reports, not stupid suggestions.

I'm not thrilled about secrets taking down the server but I don't blame him.
Well he did encourage people for feedback when he asked things in ooc and people started discussing how they wanted it (Not a bad thing imo), here he could just be the judge and take whatever he likes and implement it.

Sure there are people who will rant in different directions, but if you don't like what they're saying simply ignore them. Of course not everyone will be happy in the end but you need to expect and be able to handle that.

i hope it comes back, it was so much fun and EXCITING! you could say i "wasted" away a few hours playing there, i think the highest i got was 6, died several times but it didn't seem to discourage me. I logged off back at lvl 1 but at least with my gear i had collected. i was looking forward to logging in again and giving it another go to see how high lvl i could get before i died be it to pvp or pve. It didn't seem like a waste due to the fun i had while playing. very exciting indeed.

Nothing beats finding a random corpse of a Mage with summoned items on it, all ready for you to loot!

Considering the whole project itself is in alpha, including design concepts, I think people are right to offer suggestions on the future progression of a server that is spontaneously being built as secrets said "minecrafting it".

Honestly the server was full of people who wanted regular pvp and not discord (permadeath) pvp, so their suggestions were worthless anyway. There was definitely way too much bitching, especially after secrets would clearly say "no, this is how it's going to be", that just wasn't enough for some people. It was actually stressful just playing it and having to read people constantly ooc-ing their dissatisfaction with a server that they curiously still played on.

Some people were giving honest, constructive suggestions, but far too many people were just whining and it was really making it difficult to enjoy the game without turning off ooc.

For example (on exp loss after death):

"it should be 25% of your exp bar"
"it should be 50% of all of your levels"
"it should be 5 levels"
"..."
etc.

These kinds of suggestions are all mutually exclusive and if Secrets were to pick one, he would piss off everyone who suggested something different. So rationally the only way to accommodate people was with the system he had based the server on from the beginning since that was what attracted players to it in the first place. That people couldn't realize something so unfathomably obvious and acted like fucking retards constantly blathering about why their vision for the server was so brilliant, was enough to almost make my head explode.

I really hope he brings it back, and maybe encourages people to donate (many would) to ease hosting costs and such.

The purpose of the server was to replicate the Discord server with a few minor tweaks. So if you want normal PVP go to VZTZ. The Server was awesome!!!!!

It sounds like Secrets is going to bring the server back online on a semi-permanent basis!! Yay!

Try not to be such jerks this time guys. Please.

ya i really enjoyed it BECAUSE it was prema death (well reset to lvl 1) you could still go get your body if you were quick and you died to pve. even in pvp sometimes people would be nice and not totally rape my noob loot i had collected so i could buy simple stuff like food water tiny dagger and such.

man it was awesome, im excited about it possibly coming back up. playing on that server gives you such a exciting feeling. dieing becomes everything, its awesome.
