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.

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.

Odp: Any vets still on this?

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

Cure · Feb 24, 2013

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.

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.

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

Carter · Mar 3, 2013

CodySP · Mar 6, 2013

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 · Mar 9, 2013
