well then maybe before you release new content you could have it tested so exploits like what was in CTF could be removed before release. I feel like there are many ways to resolve the problems that are better than removing the content altogether. And I'm guessing there are hundreds of players who would be happy to test it out.

And why should the players be "penalized" for graal having "too much on it's plate?" They're not the ones promising content before creating it, development is.

You don't seem to realize how much old content Classic was already sitting on. The first few years of Classic were developed pretty much by a team that had no scripting experiencing. I have spent quite a lot of time fixing the problems they created.

Also, the reason there is so much "on our plate" is because of "traditions" that past staff have raised expectations for. We need to do Nexus. We need to do Revolution. We need hat shop updates. We need to do large events with tons of content for Halloween, Christmas and Easter. We need to do shop updates for practically every holiday. There may be a few people who scoff at the idea of "hat updates" but honestly that's a vocal minority. People want all that stuff listed above and there is a lot of complaining when they don't get done.  

Hire more developers? Lol

good luck, already tried suggesting it (levels at first then I thought up maybe more developers in general).

easy fix, get rid of zone and ol west.

move the developers and staff to iclassic, then go ahead and fix the server by having it upgraded.

unixmad if you'd like to make more money go ahead and do that.  

Why hire un-experienced developers? If there is a useful/mature developer i'm sure they would have already hired him/her.
No, please don't move Zone and O'lwest staff to Iclassic, they will just ruin the game.

We will just have to get over it and be patient for the updates/new developers.

Well I don't think any potential candidate wants to do free labor and earn nothing. Don't know how these current developers can withstand not making any profits while having their intellectual property owned by someone else. Was that in the agreements while signing the contract?

As much as I disagree with this guy generally...

I agree here.

And if there's any doubt, make an in game survey as to what every individual player would like to see development wise (five or ten questions, simple mulitple choice answers, each current player gets asked once, reward for the time with 100 gralats in order to motivate players to participate).  

I'm curious as to what big projects are being worked besides nexus or NGS.

I mean, I would assume that hat updates don't take precedence over other content updates, and are worked on during downtime of the staff, (meaning that hat updates aren't taking the spot of other content that could be released), so I dont know why anyone would be flat out opposed to them.

Though, I'm just assuming.

Probably another major area release.

Working on a game for free must mean that you care.

Pretty much.

For some, it might even be a fun experience. In playerworlds that is the case until all the random unnecessary drama starts to happen leading up to the server dying off.
