I guess the latest is this... it's from 25th of november
You shout 'any news on what's happening behind the scenes? like pwipe, nerfs of druids, re-buff of 2handers ..well, I don't know..'
Kodiak shouts 'pwipe estimated date if any would be super useful and appreciated'
Kam shouts 'You guys will be like, the 9th and 10th people to know.'
Nymia shouts 'why the sarcasm? giving players info is not a crime'
Kam shouts 'worried the definition of sarcasm may have eluded you in this moment'
Kam shouts 'will wait for you to catch up though. dictionary.com just a click away.'
Kam shouts 'This is derision. It's different.'
Igthorn shouts 'people just want to know so they can set their schedules :) take time off for a fun pwipe race etc'
Anomander shouts 'Whatever it is, it doesn't explain this silence and refusal to inform the players of this game?'
Kam shouts 'How many more characters are you going to log to have this conversation, Dan?'
Icarium shouts 'Tajs here fyi, and I have many - why can't you answer a question?'
Kam shouts 'Oh hey tajs, how you been pal?'
Kam shouts 'It's weird to do this all over shout, but ok.'
Shammy shouts 'probably beacause he dont have the answer yet :)'
Kam shouts 'Shammy wins 1000 coins for playing a trivia game nobody knew we were playing.'
Kam shouts 'I'd like to thank Tajs, my co-host for the role of incendiary interrogator.'
Pikel shouts 'You're welcome, I'm just asking what every player in the game is thinking about. What and if there's going to be a pwipe and what's being worked on? Why can't we get any info on any of it?'
Kam shouts 'News of plans for a pwipe has historically been announced in the NEWS.'
Kam shouts 'As there has not yet been a NEWS update mentioning a pwipe date it's safe to assume there isn't one.'
You tell Kam 'Times are changing, maybe evolve and inform the few players left some more than what used to be the tradition?'
Kam tells you 'sorry i can't hear you when you don't shout'
Kam tells you 'you can shout now'
You shout 'Times are changing, maybe evolve and inform the few players left some more than what used to be the tradition? What's the harm in that, people might even be happy about it'
[Kam: We can just use this super cool chat channel Tajs.]
[Kam: Please tell me all the stuff I'm doing wrong.]
[Kam: Super excited to hear your public critique of my methods!]
[Belegorn: Public critique? I'm just asking questions and suggesting changes]
[Belegorn: If you want critique there's a few thread on the forums with ideas for changes]
[Kam: Wait, we have forums?]
[Kam: The same forums where posts about how there are currently no plans to wipe can be found, authored by some dashing kender madman named Kam?]
[Kam: Such a coincidence we have the same name, don't you think? He runs the forums, I run the game.]
[Kam: It's just a really strong name I suppose.]
[Belegorn: derisive is that what you're calling it? but why are are you?]
[Kam: Fit for a kender, naturally.]
[Kam: It's comical to have you shout the same nonsense every day.]
[Belegorn: it's easy to try and put ppl who asks questions down when you're Overlord I guess, much harder than to be forthcoming]
[Kam: I've been doing that since I was a hero, my good sir.]
[Kam: More levels just makes me better at it!]
[Belegorn: never to late to change, sir.]
[Kam: No huge mass deletions, everybody playing two chars with only a few jerks trying to cheat the rules]
[Kam: No immortals running about cheating wildly and pking people]
[Kam: Lots of cool new zones]
[Kam: some really cool new features]
[Belegorn: going to the abyss for asking questions? in a wizchat he set up himself. Ah, c'mon Shammy ;)]
[Kam: druids for sure don't suck anymore]
[Kam: The comfort of knowing you won't get abyssed in this situation for speaking your mind]
[Belegorn: there's definately lots of good things, I don't think anyone's denying that!]
[Kam: all things you didn't have before me]
[Kam: but oh here we are]
[Kam: no wipe date]
[Kam: what an asssssssssssshole.]
[Kam: There's no wipe date because we can't get the team it takes to pull off a wipe all together right now]
[Belegorn: what's the harm in just informing ppl what's in the works behind the scenes? not just wipe-wise?]
[Kam: We've done that on the forums where you've asked these questions before.]
[Belegorn: fair enough, I get that ..much easier if we're just a bit in the know]
[Kam: Read the forums. You post there. Try also reading it.]
[Kam: I'm also available via the 'tell' command]
[Kam: it's pretty new only 25 years or so it went in]
[Kam: shouting just makes you look like you're trying to make the staff look bad]
[Belegorn: I didn't set up this wizchat, you did. When I used this "tell" command ;)]
[Kam: that upsets the staff]
[Kam: they do all this work for free]
[Kam: Yeah but I'm not likely to let you start it in public and then let me finish it QUIETly]
[Kam: everyone should know you've got nothing but a simple gripe]
[Kam: and that fundamentally you agree that it's real dumb and there's no reason you should have shouted it in the first place]
[Kam: I don't think people have the impression we're running some sort of information blackout campaign here]
[Kam: I think this is the most well informed the playerbase has ever been]
[Belegorn: Not sure what it accomplished to insult me for asking, but I'm not going to start throwing insults back at you]
[Belegorn: but have a fine evening and thank you for the answers]
[Kam: Anytime!]
[Kam: I can also be reached by email at kam@arcticmud.org.]
[Kam: Anybody else have anything they'd like to discuss while I am here?]
