The news was broke late last night its not even 12 hours old yet so some have not heard of it and others are asleep or busy and so can not post about it.
But I think a sad turth is the fight has gone from many of us, I mean we kick up and other users call us brats I saw the post awhile back) not knowing were trying to do something, the gold farmers dont care they only moan when a nerf is put in place. Heck I wish I could find the staff quote from an ATA that said Maybe youve been told the news but dont want to hear it - I am 90 sure it was staff but never found it.
I am gutted okay yeah its a game big deal so what, but my friends list on Gaia is made up of zOMG people that I have met whilst crewing, whilst posting, whilst doing zOMG things without zOMG Id have a empty list.
Heck Ive done zOMG related things in real life I like zOMG if I didnt I would not be playing the game and just be posting in the forums.
What REALLY REALLY makes me annoyed is this, the new game must have been getting worked on when We were asking about zOMG and so plans to put it on hold would have been known, but not one staff member could turn around and say something like Its not a good outlook talks about putting it on hold after the new area is out oh look how easy was that to type?
Sorry about all that, any spelling errors I sort out later.
I have to admit that on some ocassions, I have found myself wondering if there's as really many truly devoted zOMGaians as many of us believe, or if the passion and determination of that handful, makes it seem to be more.
Still, I can't help but believe that the revenue generated by zOMG! has to have increased dramatically since the release of DMS.
I guess it just wasn't enough.
I can't blame the staffers for not letting us in on the truth though.
Having been in the working world for over thirty years now, I know all too well, the deceits that people are forced to perpetrate in order to keep their jobs.
It's just an ugly fact of life, and I don't blame our devs at all.
It also wouldn't surprise me to find that many of them, [JK] for sure, were fooling themselves as well, and hoping against hope that zOMG! would survive.
We all tend to do that from time to time when it's something we really want, so I can't fault them for being human.
