Just an outcast
I really don't like the idea of Codemonkey tweaking with [ JK ]'s work just to add onto a place.
Oh how I miss [ JK ].
sad I remember the times zOMG! used to be nice... before it got blamed for the inflation in the marketplace, before the dev meat finally came to a close that used to happen every Friday, before you actually had to get GC to get potions in order to earn more gold.... and also before the limit of amount gold that you could earn was 50 k. I loved [ JK ] because he would interact with the users and now that's pretty rare to see with the people that help Gaia. He actually did care and that's something Gaia is now lacking. It gave me a positive side of playing the game and now that he's gone.. I don't even bother with playing the game anymore. It all went down the drain.
But he's in a better place now. Making/designing games worth more then what Gaia will probably ever be. I'm happy for him, but I do miss him.
Seeing this idea kind of brought up sad and good memories for me. I really don't know...
I can understand not liking one person re-arranging another person's hard work. At least we still get to enjoy it, and since virtual spaces are more visited than zOMG these days, more people will get to also :]
For all the good staff that we've lost over the years on Gaia, I hope their experience here honed their skills and talents to be better for better jobs. Sometimes I see Gaia now being like a developer such as Rareware is now. Sure, it's still got the name, but none of the minds that made it good. You just want the old team to all come back and make awesome stuff happen again :[
Glad seeing this idea brought up good memories for ya, sorry about the sad ones.
