I can't do this anymore

[Marcel]

As a long-time friend and highly valued programmer, I hate to see you go, even if only temporary.

The amount of moaning has been insane lately, however we will not let ourselves be put down by the people responsible for it. If you need to take a break, feel free to do so. The other developers, Devin and me have your back and will continue to provide the server with the updates it needs. There shall be no standstill in RS5.1 so you can eventually return to the servers' development and pick your work back up.

Stay strong, Teddybear!

[MrTony]

Teddy, thanks a lot for all the effort you've put in this community. Sometimes we all take things for granted and don't understand what we actually lost until it's gone.


I think I speak for all of us when I say that I can't wait for you to be back man, hopefully we can all learn a lesson from this absence.

[Huntsman]

Just remember that this is a video game, a video game community that has no effect on your real life whatsoever. You do not need to answer to anyone here. We will not get you an education, we will not look after your health, we will not raise your children. This should be your free time thing, rather than become so important that i causes stress. Take your time.

[Devin]

Would anyone like to give a reason as to why those trying to improve the servers and community deserve to be treated like trash by some players; I am against using the word community members when I speak about those disrupting development due to their greed, blatant disrespect and complete and utter bullshit attitude towards others for god knows what reason.

Is it honestly too much to ask for people of which many are considered young adults in the real world to use the manners their parents should have taught them whilst growing up?
Would you speak to your grandparents or even other peoples parents and grandparents like you to do those dedicating their time within this community to ensure you have a server to play on?

Because most persons are spoiled these days, so because they cannot make something of their lives either in real life or in a gaming life they will try to fuck up others or try be above them with
what they think are funny arguments or jokes, but are in reality incredible stupid.

therefor:

Their manners are not what they are used to be, in this 'internet' generation everyone want's to stand for something, stand above the other but instead we have to unite. WE are a community aren't we? why do we only moan? why the greed? why the disinterest? The developers spend their free time giving you a better experience..

Would you speak to your grandparents or even other peoples parents and grandparents like you to do those dedicating their time within this community to ensure you have a server to play on?

No they wouldn't, but this is the internet. So the don't give a f*ck.


To underline this: I have the same exact thought as devin, start behaving like adults instead of spoiled kids.
When you behave like this for no particular reason you will eventually scare away new players too.


To leave a side-note: respond on devin's reaction with decency, if you can't you will automatically be forum warned.

Alot of kids are spoilted today as traser writes and got little patience on "waiting for things to happend" Things needs to happend like, right here and now, those with little patience try some of the games out there where it can take YEARS to get to where you are, once you however get there it feels good and rewarding so it will also be if you leave teddy to do things in his own peace along with fixing bugs at the speed he's able to.

I think the last and final chapter is about to write its own ending.

Dreams are beautiful, but this one doesn't end here.... Sorry this ain't the last chapter... it has more then you think...

Teddy was purely the last spark this community had. Not trying to be rude, though.

And who are you to say that? Teddy might have really and seriously been a very important and hard worker to make this community better but we still have people who are still capable to keep this community alive. We don't need you or anyone else to come here and be Einsteins of Argonath with your drama stories. We are still here and alive, if you don't like it.. feel free to leave.

I wouldn't call it the last spark, because in my 7 years spent in this Community, I didn't saw any other scripters making so much amazing scripts that the Community actually wanted as much as Teddy did. With all do respect to other scripters.

I would rather call it the first real spark Argonath was waiting for, hopefully it wont be the last.

You can write stories and use overused quotes how much you want, but it doesn't do much of a difference when facts and the reality says that the community has been torn apart for the last two-three years and has already been through its glory days.

Hopefully. The game itself isn't getting younger, though.

Seriously? Teddy announces he's leaving and all you can do is argue semantics? This is a major blow to our community even if it is a temporary but needed leave. Don't bring your petty shit here.

[Que]

Sorry for being too honest.

That's a given. But what do you have to provide to the community besides the common "lets be srs-rp" and constant negativity (which you classify as being honest)?

Sorry, Que, but instead of the constant moaning, we need solutions that are:
-A. Fit Argonath (not srs-rp, no removing of /public, etc.)
-B. Are respectful and supported by the ENTIRE community, not just key individuals
-C. Make sense to spend time developing and implement

Everyone can say, "Oh how the old days were better", but nobody is willing to go forward.

In regards to Teddy, I felt this was coming. It's common for any involved individual to burn out. Take a break, take a month off, and then come back and finish strong. Realize that you may need to delegate some ideas to others, as well as maybe put off some of the plans on hold.

Personally, I'd focus more on the essentials (business script, etc.) before anything else (like the internet project).
