I wonder if one of you lot will end up as my parent...

[Andira]

How low are you in the queue?

[Iltaran]

I signed up only yesterday and thus are waaaay back at 151 in the queue

[Ehndras]

Its possible. :-P That would be quite hilarious.

[Andira]

Oh, 151. Okay, a lot can happen until then. ;)

[Ehndras]

Oh !@#$!

Pregnant Mothers: 1
Your position in the birth queue is: 12

110 - I think this is the final time I take a look. Apparently, whoever made the game doesn't really want new players, maintaining some design concept of everyone being born this way and this way only is more important. Sad.

[Ehndras]

Tom, you don't really understand how the game works. Also, the creator doesn't give a crap - that's true. He abandoned the game and isn't really up for suggestions and barely even pays attention to it. Its not getting expanded, there's no staff, and its run by one guy who doesn't really bother at all. Its meant as a small-time game and that's about it.

That there's actually a QUEUE OF 150 PEOPLE is insane. That means at least 150 people waiting in line! The game isn't designed to have anywhere near that number, much less waiting to get into the game at a time. This was and will be a small-time, tight-knit, super-serious RP community game.

Apparently, neither does its creator. When BM started, it was intended to be something totally different from what it is now. But the game is not mine alone, it belongs to the players just as much, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow. The switch from one to two game worlds was horrible, because it wasn't designed for that, but it just had to be done, BM had an overpopulation problem, too.

These days, we have more of an underpopulation problem, which also means certain things in the game had to be changed.

Sadly a lot of founders (and not just of online games) fall into the trap of thinking that their opinion is the only one that matters.

It's not entirely false. Every project, every product, every company needs a strong leader with a strong vision.

It's just that there's a difference between strength and rigidity. Constantly adapting your vision to reality is part of being strong. All great leaders show that trait, all failed ones lack it.

thing is... at the end of the day, it's his stuff XD
people can't take his stuff and do something else with it, unless they make their own version.

This thread was actually really entertaining. Just read it all in one go. Did you get in yet, Zak?

[Foundation]

You better have gotten in, Zak. :P
