Any vets still on this?

Sometimes I feel people get too caught up in the drama with 'development' and whatnot (wether in public forums or behind the curtains...), they kind of forget that, if it has to do with a server, the players should come first no? Lifeline of the server, etc etc. It's like how nexon effs up royally many times because it seems like they don't actually play the games they create. There is a big line drawn between 'players' and 'leechers'.

Some actually enjoying playing the game and being fans of the developers or servers. That's more respectable in my opinion. Like a lot of people say the community is usually what is the biggest factor for pservers aside from the custom mods. I don't think the leechers or repack downloaders or anything fall into that category but just the average people you meet while playing or discussing with on forums. Kind of like the difference between a small classroom and a huge lecture hall? Pservers have that cozy and homey feel. And to me it's the pservers that are established that are like this or have a community of players or forum posters that are like minded or known each other from before. It doesn't always have to be THE BEST or THE MOST PRO CODERS.

Frankly, I can not remember a single moment back in the days where you said anything useful, but this.. Couldn't agree more.
Also to sinister, kevin is right. I wasn't pro back then, at all. I was in my first stages of learning to program. The thing however which differentiated me from other programmers was that I was (and still am) extremely creative. I made a lot of cool features for my server, and together with the fact that ChickenMS had one of the best communities (from what I've heard) turned it into a good server. Hell, I knew poop about optimalisations/concurrency/multi-threading/ or even IO back then, but it was sure a nice ride on the road to knowledge.

LOL!!! That made me die of laughter haha... It's true though, I just remember him trolling people, including me once.

So many old school people ;o

I kind of got a fuzzy and warm feeling now

I am totally making a clean OdinMS v55 server for the heck of it Trululu.

 

[Xerdox]

Odp: Any vets still on this?

ChickenMS... I still remember it =) It was one of my favourite servers.

 

[Cure]

Yep.
Back when Titans Source was first released and was buggy as hell.
And then coolguy or whatever his name was got sued up the butt.

Nevertheless, you were and you still are an overdramatic stick. Oh and hi.

Wow.. talk about nostalgia. The OdinTeh days were fun.

EDIT: My account was made 7 years ago, wow.

Indeed... had to apply several fixes to your coding though

Hah, doesn't surprise me. I can imagine some of my code was incredibly bad..

Or in short: Be a human, and only then be a badass developer.

I've said it many times already so I'll make it short this time: making a good server is not just about writing good code - you also need to be "well coded" yourself. If you had to choose between a fully coded server with huge assholes as staff or a not-so-well coded one with nice staff members? Most people will go for the second. You can understand why.

Oh gosh, that website gave me chills..

Why on earth is everything so dead, with so many awesome people still here :O It's so sad.. I want a nostalgic server to play with awesome staff

Man that brings back some good memories, I Ducking miss LocalMS. I should try to find my old HD from my old PC, and dig up the folder with the 500+ SS's of Local XD.

I remember when we had to take a SS and be level 200 in order to apply for the v88 alpha test, heh.

I will whenever I get to it, I will most likely just upload the whole folder.

 

[Wilsongb10]

Glad to see all of you still around! Maplestory continues to live on!

 

[Carter]

The days when downloading VC++ 2008 took hours....just to compile koolk's source lol.

 

[CodySP]

Oh man do I ever remember Odin,

No buddy system for a while I remember when they get that working!. No 3rd job and Guilds were a no-no.

Look at how far development has come since then. Oh god is this me getting old!?

 

[gmsinister]

We are all getting old lol we all played maple alot in those days and now its just about hacking from time to time and what not lol.
