my face when
But since it's a serious thread, i'll try and give a serious answer (though Drea has pretty much covered it)
Basically as you know staff are players too, so ofc we want the same thing, all these sort of updates but imo, there are factors that get in the way and prevent projects from being finished.
- iClassic has dug itself into a 4 year - long hole with unfinished projects, hence why all the 'unfinished' content. It remains unfinished cuz people leave, people want to do something else, the project gets delayed etc.
- The projects that do go on behind the scenes, most of the staff are completely unaware of, we can sort of guess depending on what gets asked from us but only a few know the entire picture, so anyone who says to 'ask an admin' chances are that admin may be as clueless as the player.
- Our updates are slow, but no doubt that when they are released they are of incredibly high standards. iClassic is a server of quality, not quantity.
- Hat shops and hat updates are gralat sinks to keep Unix happy while real work does get done, and ofc the Graphic staff of the server do enjoy seeing their work being used as well.
- And lastly (I think) the server is managed by people who have played Classic for longer than some Graalians have lived, they have the experience and that holds value to why they release things and delay others, while it may look good on one side of the fence it could be a complete different story on the other side.
Idk how to tl;dr this really, just my opinions both as staff and as a player.
