I'm tired of hearing ungrateful *expletives deleted* attack the imms on this mud. Aristox and Hoss, as well as all of the other builders/etc I don't know by name, are doing amazing work managing this mud for no pay. They put in part-time job hours or more working for a game whose most vocal players offer them little but harrassment and abuse.
That's not only unfortunate, it's directly against the best interests of a game we all love. What's more, it's inaccurate to say that they are doing anything but an exceptional job. Here's why.
In the last few years, we've had a new class, some of the best zone revamps and new zones I've ever had the pleasure of reading and frustration of figuring out, and a focus on making this game fair for those who follow the rules which I have *never* seen in over two decades of playing Arctic. I want to launch into a diatribe against those *many, many insults deleted* who choose to cheat, and then bitch about having to deal with strict oversight as a result of their adult choices, but I've said it all before.
Hoss, 'Stox, all the other gentlemen who toil behind the scenes to give us Deep Mines, new Daargard, and many other new zones I haven't even had the pleasure of seeing yet... from an old player, you have nothing but my sincere thanks for doing a job I wouldn't have the patience or restraint to do.
