I'm disappointed, but I understand. I wish you guys all the best in the project. I'd had high hopes and was pretty jazzed, but the person I was planning on apping with is literally out of the country for another week. It really does suck to be shut out like this, even if I do get why it was done. Ow.

Hope the people who managed to get in in the less than 24 hours it was open have a good time.

ETA: It's probably for the best, really. If the movement on this game is going to be anything approaching this level of need-for-responsiveness to keep up and or participate, I don't have time anyway.

@tyche

Gross. Disgusting.

@thenomain I heard it was Disney's doing, as Disney is launching their own streaming service this year/next year, and they had to go this route for licensing purposes to be able to launch it with the new service. IDK if it's true or not, but those are the rumors I've heard.

I don't know that we've ever really engaged, but hooray for new-ish faces! Hiiiiiiiiii. Thanks for saying hello.

@auspice

That's so fucked up. I'm sorry.

@aria

Sigh.

Getting to do the thing that my character is built for. I am pretty much over the moon happy about it.

@auspice

I am so sorry. That's rough in so many ways. I've been there, it sucks.

In other news, anyone following along with me at home, they just found my kidney stone.

The one I have been literally begging them to take care of for a year that they told me didn't exist.

It's 3mm.

This flu is the worst.

There's one going around that is terrible and awful and I am so sorry if that's the one you have. Ugh.

@sunny How do I make the images smaller though?! X_X

What @deathbird said. Just like they are is perfect! More pretty!

@sincerely

Noooooooooooooo need to promise to be the last ones for a while, I don't think ANYONE minds lots and lots of pictures of the pretty things you make. And if they do I'll glare at them after I finish making happy noises over seeing the pretty pictures. These things are really gorgeous.

@sincerely

Your stuff is incredible omg. I am in awe.

Events are hard to run to begin with. Making it much more complicated than, say, the modeling code is right now (which is at a really sweet spot, imnsho, in terms of actual ease of use, I love it) would end up discouraging me, I won't try and speak for other people. Adding too much more to what's already there in terms of system-I-have-to-put-input-into is asking a lot, and I suspect it would end up meaning people engaged with it less, rather than resulting in them engaging in it more.

@groth

How is punishment going to make people use it more?

Explain to me how it's a punishment.

Making someone wear the same outfit for a week is a punishment. I don't even fathom how this is not obvious.

@mietze said in Constructive (keyword) Criticism of Arx Systems:

People are probably using modeling less not because of numbers but because of the insanely ugly nasty ooc behavior towards those players who were thought to be using it "too much" in "ways I can't/dont like.:

This.

@groth

How is punishment going to make people use it more?

@groth

Staff has literally said many times it is not a problem, people are not doing it, so I want to know why people are suggesting that we punish models more. This isn't a problem. What problem is trying to be solved?

@jeshin

But that's not a problem, so what is the PROBLEM that people are trying to solve?

@jeshin

But what problem does requiring a model to wear an outfit for a week solve? What is even the point? Like...why?
