well i dont wanna be too harsh on em cos they were around so long, it was kinda like my crazy aunt, you hate them, but you'd be a bit saddened if they died or something.
just cos they were always like, there.
but at the same time i have to say the server is sooo much healthier with them gone... stuff is getting done, people aren't just bitching at each-other non-stop, updates are coming, new players are leveling, events are great; well paced, and varied, with decent value to difficulty rewards and fun for all levels of players. The economy is booming, people are hunting, setting up vendors, even buying deco to build their houses. GMs are properly respectable again.
it's great, like someone cut down the old stagnant trees that were blocking out all the light from the saplings, and now the light is getting to them, and they're sticking with it to grow into pro players.
the whole lot were just kinda like a cancer that was killing the server, and i cant stress how glad i am that the server finally beat the cancer ^^
barcode were a part of it tbh, and im a bit wary of them coming back, but i think without the GM on their side they might actually play like proper players, and join the community instead of just raping the server with an unfair advantage, and some kinda minion of the gods complex.
at least the cancerous stuff is confined to 1 thread for now, hope it doesn't spread again >.<
i dont think it will though, it only happened in the first place cos having a GM on their side totally fucked the balance of everything.
also for some reason, i remember that i really dont like Aegian Rayth, but i cant for the life of me remember why... all i know is i hate that guy, for some reason...
(and no it's not a pvp thing, it'll be a trade thing... did you scam someone or something? i bet you undercut me or something... im sure it was worse than that though, like it takes a lot for me to actually really dislike someone, but you achieved it, and i cant remember how
)
totally remember the name, and that i hate you, just cant remember why lol
