Re: What turns people from RP?

Problem with H&S is, it doesn't matter why something got changed, you still got some moron crying "nerf". The one I played at for some time, and still have a character on, had a complete change of admin, do to the prior ones getting burned out, and a few of them getting caught handing things to people that shouldn't have had them. One of the things done was the revamp the whole system, especially for the few PVP areas in the mud. Why? Because it really was a damn mess, no one ever bothered to fix it from the old staff, and a few things where actually tweaked wrong, to create imbalances. We also had the college where the server was screw with their wiring, and leave the mud down for almost 6 months.. Result of the initial revamp was loss of 20% of the player based, 5-10% of them due to either being cheaters that turned out to have been getting perks they shouldn't, or taking advantage of bugs, even **after** being told this was going to be cracked down on, or they where friends of the people doing it. The rest, just got ****ed off that something "got nerfed". We lost another 30-40% to the down time.

But, yeah. H&S people get so numbers oriented that when you change the numbers, even if you do so to fix long standing bugs, or make certain monsters actually hard to kill again, etc., they freak over the changes, even when they claim to understand why its being done.
