Of course he would, now that jorrit is on the board of directors he might as well claim he owns it too.

Remember, he also claimed that Peragro Tempus was a fork of PlaneShift just because they were using Crystal Space.

You can claim you wrote something yourself and that would be enough to be considered absconding. Like what the game director does with PSwiki. Compare the edit histories of these two pages. They're the exact same thing, except one is the original and properly attributed to all authors, and the other was copied and pasted by the game director himself onto PSwiki.

Yeah, I noticed that the same day I quit. I haven't seen any evidence of the developers listening to the players, so I don't have too much hope for this new group.

I'm surprised nobody has apparently brought it up yet.

Speaking to some of the other developers is just as bad for a player. Some seem to realize that player opinion matters, but others just couldn't care less.

I'm not sure the entire blame can be laid at the feet of the person in charge, but the main problem does seem to be that the developers don't seem to care if people actually enjoy the game. They make decisions that drive people out of the game, and refuse to even consider that they might have made a mistake. This isn't true for all developers, but it does seem to be true for the developers who make the decisions. This leads to people who care about the mechanics leaving the game, and strict RPers leave the game because there aren't enough people around to RP with.

That may be true but their representatives here and probably elsewhere do nothing to paint the game if a fair and attractive light. Quite the opposite in fact.
If they were salesman they couldn't give water away to a dying man in a desert.
Plus to not realise the public harm they are doing to their own game just shows me that they are so thick that if they jumped off a cliff they would have top stop half way down to ask for directions.

Dang what's up with all these people attacking GMs, nobody cares about them. Players tend to be more interested in the feuds coming from the developers than they do in even the content or features of the games they work on, or GM drama. In my opinion, the game director himself has been the most entertaining part of the game lately.

No idea, but I edited the OP anyways for accuracy.

So Tuxide, what did you do to offend Glorious Leader? I remember when you were the one defending the guy for the longest time.

I'm not too sure I follow you here; I don't consider defending an MMORPG to be the same as defending the conduct of its director. Seriously, who the hell would defend a game director who goes to various forums and websites covering his own game and trolls the snot out of them? I particularly find comments like this recent one from the PlaneShift Director to be quite entertaining:

---

[...] You have serious problems man, really really serious problems. [...] You have a hole in your head instead of a brain. And yes, you read it right, that's what I said. Now go and ask your big daddy admins to ban me, like a small girl crying for being subtracted his toy. [...]

---

I know I said before that if PlaneShift promoted uncivil behavior then I couldn't find the time to deal with it then, but now fortunately I'm finding plenty of it to address this issue myself. One of the things we all need to understand here is that not everyone is going to like us. Not everyone has to either. This is just one of the many things that you have to be willing to accept when you make an MMORPG and it amasses 700,000 or whatever registered accounts.

Somebody please go into the #planeshift channel on Freenode and post on this thread what the channel topic is so I can correct the OP if it is wrong.

I suppose what will ultimately matter is if you go into the #planeshift channel on Freenode and get banned for discussing it.

Hello everyone! I am here to inform people that PlaneShift has recently updated its rules on what can and cannot be discussed in the #planeshift channel on Freenode. As of today, here is the new topic for the OFFICIAL IRC fan channel:

---

*** Topic on #planeshift is: PlaneShift: A Free 3D MMORPG .:. http://planeshift.it .:. Report bugs at http://hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/ .:. Discussions about competing projects are not allowed in here. | tail chopping hour

---

The new part here is that talking about any project that the PlaneShift director considers himself to be competing against is completely forbidden. So, what does this mean exactly? Well, it means you are free to talk about other games such as World of Warcraft or EVE, but mentioning other, lesser-known, open game projects will lead to a ban. This goes regardless of how much of their assets PlaneShift is actually using, how mature the project is, whether they are using the PlaneShift engine, or how the director defines the word "competing". Here are some examples of projects that should never be mentioned in that channel, ever:

Peragro Tempus—A virtual world where people can travel across different time periods

Tempest in the Aether—A Victorian Steampunk world being made by former PlaneShift developers and leaders using the PlaneShift engine

Trinity Reign—A medieval fantasy world being worked on by a nice group of people

___________________

So remember, if you're ever going into the #planeshift channel on Freenode, then don't ever mention any projects like these and you'll do fine, else the banhammer will be upon you!

My crew of serious developers is working on an open-source steampunk MMO; if you want to know what we're about then hit us up on http://www.tempestintheaether.com/ or on the #Tempest-in-the-Aether channel on Freenode. I can't say I'm really excited about steampunk itself, but this article made an interesting read. We were convinced that if we chose fantasy then we would have no chance of success.

Wild West does sound interesting, but I'm not too sure if it would be worth it since Western is a dead genre in movies. Since the John Wayne era, there hasn't been a very good classic Western movie other than Dances With Wolves. Film producers have been more interested in recycling plots from Western movies into other genres as well, such as what is called Urban Western. For example, The Searchers and Taxi Driver. I'm just not too convinced there's a lot that can be done with Western, especially if you want to avoid ethnic stereotypes that Western movies usually have.

Having an Alternate Reality world might also be interesting, but I can only see it really serving to give out a political message, and only being liked by people who support it.

Well this is an attack thread, what do you expect?

If you're not banned from the EZ-PC shard then I want you in my <Banker> guild.
