hey all,
i am complete with Leodagan!
There are several points that urgently need a revision atm. especially the old code that is still implented as an essential part of the core, often bypassed sporadically with unreasonable units.
Blue, to be honest, Uthgard is atm. the only valueable, stable and standalone project available even in its actual beta-phase! This can be explained by the fact that you guys, have the required experience and of course, the rare data. and systems/resources (ja ich weiss woher Ihr eure Ressourcen und Client/Server-Daten herbekommen habt
)
Unfortunately, this opportunity, is/was a "premium" gift for you guys, caused by personal acquaintances.
I personally, have my own impression about the so called "DOL Community" - there are several guys that are really endeavor to push the DOL Project onwards (i wont tell any names for now - you guys know who i am talking about).
But its a fact, like you know from real-life situations, that without any rewards or commends, the motivation will get lost faster as it came along! Therefor my big respect for the oldschool programmers, who are still willing to put some energy into this old and flabby bastard of a project - please do not get me wrong, look at my joining date - i am really in love with DAoC and DOL, but i won't sugarcoat this whole thing anymore!
Its a fact, that all the server managers and so called project administrators are holding back important informations, decent code, working databases, sources, scripts etc. to become established and able to show that they are the "only" ones available on the freeshard market! In addition, and thats the second point, the most of them, are (or at least trying to) programming their own "Server Portals" just to stand out from the rest of the lame-ass (DaocPortal) crowd. You dont believe me?! -
Player Statistics are the best evidence
Since late-end 2013 with the shutdown of the Uthgard Servers, as you can see, there was a fatal loss to players in general, leading into a unprecedented depth that is still holding on! The only appreciable peak was on March this year, where the Uthgard Beta was first announced and released.
In my actual opinion, and i hope that i am wrong, the whole DOL Scene is like a sinking titanic, with an orchestra playing till the very, very end and several captains who had already left a long time ago.
still waiting for that unpredictable DOL-turn,
best regards,
Eyebalze
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
