After one week already, this aged like wine.
And I'm actually really sorry to push it once more after seeing myself out. But I don't want to leave it like this. Last one I promise.
Besides the fact, that I strongly believe that this may be one step in the wrong direction.
Question:
'Bombini has consistently failed to provide the player experience we wish to have on our servers.'
This was the statement made on Discord.
True, Goon2 has been considered the 'wild west' for some time now. But not in a bad way directly.
The community is not always perfect, aye. There were good and bad rounds.
Still, I consider goon2 not only the best server to actually learn the game for new players but also a keystone to discover the different a-zones and secrets.
Not to mention that a considerable amount of well known players on goon1 also started on goon2.
Now to the original question.
What is the player experience you wish to have on your servers?
For none-RP players there is only one option, goon1.
Massive server with 80-100 ppl so nobody can latejoin any job besides greytiding and everyone knows nobody, player connections are rarely made and slowly.
Hence I was never a big fan. (Personal view, of course)
Which also raises the follow-up question, maybe the most important one:
If the outcome was not to your liking and having watched it for months...
How come there was no intervention at all? No feedback to the players, no communication. Just a shutdown?
I would like to tell myself, that even as it was the 'wild west', executive authorities cannot be an issue, as the community handled itself fairly well most of the time, even without any security. For instance the famous Mining Militia and rule breaking was always reported as far as I know.
Now. I don't expect really an answer to this wall of text right, with less structure than I would have preferred.
Also yeah I know the original post was not aligned with the usual feedback template, but it turned out to be quite unusual after all.
Hell, I would not be surprised with a follow-up ban considering my last thread which was terrible (Admins only).
LONG STORY SHORT.
I could bring up hundreds of amazing events on Bombini and personally not a single point to shut it down within reason.
Of course. Our mileage may vary a lot. But then I also ask you to put yourself in a users point of view now and then.
Decision has been made, there is no going back now. And sadly it will also cost a bunch of personalities. For what?
A more detailed post about the shutdown of Bombini would be great.
