Hi All - Ive been reading all of the recent posts and drama relating to rares - its fascinating and make me ask myself - are we all grown adults? Have we truely grown and matured since 2004?
I remind myself everytime I log on, especially in recent times, that I would like to share with you:
(1) The true rares are this amazing team of Pazaz and our lovely volunteer mods and contributors. Deepest respect and appreciation.
(2) This is a multiplayer game. Your pixels are worthless without fellow players engaging in the game. Your loss everytime a fellow player has a negative experience because of you.
(3) Most imporantly, nothing is permanent - the closest thing we have to that are the fantastic memories we share.
Peace brothers
(B3 here - usually a shy and awkward player in game)
Really glad to see an appreciative post for the team!! I’ve really felt for Pazaz these past few days, he tried so hard to make us all happy and tried to be authentic as he could!
And yes we need to remember that it is (mostly) a great community of wonderful people!
Couldn’t resist replying.
Ahh yes.. the fantastic memory of never getting a rare from grinding way more than I play normally - playing too much of anything for hours on end makes things unfun eventually. I’ll treasure those.
Did you get a rare? Because if you did, this is absolutely rich coming from someone who did.
We all appreciate Pazaz and the others’ hard work for this amazing server. A person is capable of being appreciative yet taking issue/being frustrated with things. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
So unfortunately yes, this will create a rift between some players forever.. don’t pretend like this is nothing and doesn’t mean anything, because it absolutely does and many will not forget. That can’t be helped, but it’s certainly not the end of the world.
Peace out
The last time I saw another player was in 2045, just before Barron Trump won his second term against Mamdani . We had a brief political argument before he said the game’s community was cancer now and logged off.
Someone logs on. I hop to their world and start teleporting to banks.
Somehow, miraculous I find them.
It feels good to talk to another player after all this time. I tell him how it’s so cool that he’s managed to hold onto a santa from that one hide and seek event all those years ago
Soon enough we become friends.
I convince them that our inner children would think it’s badass that we killed KBD in rares.
I kill him for his santa and PM him to call him a child molester in hopes that he’s too demoralized to rebuild and threaten my position as richest man in the server. He logs off never to be seen again.
I now have a santa, a mask and a pumpkin. My life is complete.
