It’s all a bit sad really.
Many of those who have posted condemning 1.03 I don’t recognize from the game in any of its issues and I’ve played them all. I’m not convinced that many of these dissenters know enough about the history, the community and the nature of this game to be taken seriously and if they choose to leave then to me and other veterans I doubt it will be any great loss.
Personally I miss not seeing some of the great veteran players and community contributors on the 1.03 servers. It’s this aspect of this division that I feel sad about, not the changes in game play which can be adjusted in the future; such bitter divisions in the community are not so easily put right.
I personally don’t understand how what are relatively small differences between issues have given rise to such major disagreements. In the past when the community disliked certain changes in the game or came under threat from those who wished to see ac develop in a manner not endorsed by the dev team a great many of us stood shoulder to shoulder in defense of the game, Drakas, stef, makke and drian, even our friends from BC who rarely get involved in these affairs, some of us whined a bit, compromises were reached and we and the game moved on.
Maybe I’m wrong but I believe the day Brahma joined the dev team and acquired what looks to me like an unhealthy amount of power over the direction of the game and community the current state was inevitable. The simple fact is a great many veterans don’t trust and don’t like Brahma’s vision of the game.
One cant say Brahma hasn’t worked hard at his vision of ac and contributed a great deal to the game but there can be no doubt in my mind that with regard to the community he has brought nothing but division.
To those great community members and contributors to this game who have decided to fork the game, I for one will miss you and thank you all for the vast amounts of work you’ve put into the game and community.
(chin up Drakas mate, the knockers don’t know shit)
