The *real* reason Zomg shut down

[Unused Mule 12345]

zOMG! is suffering an eternal frozen nightmare gonk

[Jinx Betwixt]

I was looking around to see if anyone was gonna try to even make a mock zOMG, since again. zOMG been the only reason the players that haven't been back in a while to have SOMETHING to do on this site. and I stumbled across this interview from 2010....

gaia_angelleft The Interview (not the movie) gaia_angelright

an interesting bit of it mentions the security of the game

Quote:

Once the client-side and server-side technologies are chosen, high-level choices will define which side the game logic lives on. zOMG is built on a custom client-side architecture. According to Georgeson, "As much as possible, the client is limited to rendering, input, and UI management. At times, it is necessary for the client to mimic limited server logic to give the appearance of smoother movement and responsive animations. The server handles everything beyond user input, display, and UI. This maintains a high level of security and prevents cheating by would-be hackers. Server logic includes all combat, all player interaction such as chat or invites, and all account details like quest progress and inventory."

If you want to read more about it, this quote is from a latter part of the interview with under "Back-End Technology"

IDK, if i'll get muted or banned for this info... BUT it's important info to the issue at hand none the less

Nyx had the Dark Elves steal all the Null crystals.

Kamila and the NFs started making too many babies, along with the vampire and werewolf, and so the whole zomg got overpopulated. //original?

I think the inflation is also a symptom

The cause is greed

Trolls are the internet. If there aren't enough trolls somewhere, the sections lacking in trolls will deteriorate. zOMG, being an incredible game, prevented trolls from trolling, as it was so much fun that they forgot to troll! AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE! zOMG IS DEAD! IT'UNSALVAGEABLE!
IT'S LIFE'S HARSH REALITY! FUN HURTS PEOPLE, PEOPLE!
...Fun hurts people, people...

You are a goddess for putting the information out there.
One day, I'll learn enough about coding and technology, and I will bring back the game I love.

Lol. I love that Avatar ref.


My "real" reason: Rina and Candice's (remember those two girls in Barton that hated each other because one copied the other?) fight got so bad that all the monsters and people in zomg went into war. Neither side won, and there were too many casualties. In the end, they decided to shut down zomg, because there were no monsters left for us to fight. crying
