Downprioritized developmentDue to my fading interest in the game and to a certain extent the community, which is partially thanks to the same part of the community and the fact that I'm lost in
City of Heroes, which is an awesome game, where stupid retards do not run around screaming own/[retard statement] or other moronic alternatives every ten seconds, or as every other second word in the things they write on forums and the like, the development of this system has been downprioritized (even more, yeah, as if that was possible, heh). Hell, there's a lot less annoying children in
City of Heroes too, which is a nice change from RUNE - just a shame one had to resort to playing a pay-to-play game for such a change.
The RUNE HORDES system is still going to be up and running with no changes - apart from the new "zero tolerance" policy.
The "zero tolerance" policyIt's getting much too annoying with the morons not understanding the simple concepts of the system, and because of that using it as their own little childhood playground, which in the end invalidates the system.
Let's take the possibility of specifying the nationality of a horde's members as an example:
- This is NOT in place so you can say "lololol this flag looks cool lol i want it by my name lol" (or whatever fucked up reason you have) or set it according to some other stupid ingame horde concept (like the WW2 horde I deleted; no, I do not believe the three of you in the horde come from Germany, Iraq and the other nationality, which I can't remember).
- It IS in place to make it possible to give an "accurate" overview of the nationalities (and amount of people from same) in a given horde - and in the game as a whole - as well as making it possible for people to easily finding people some a given nationality by "searching" for them. If someone doesn't want to show their real nationality, there's a "Not specified" nationality for the very same purpose!
As a result of this, I've gotten too fed up with trying to roll back the valid information of a horde by comparing with the changelog, so I don't really care anymore. If a horde thinks they're "oh, so smart" by invalidating the system (the above example being far from the only way I consider invalidating the system), I won't think twice about removing the horde permanently from the system (permanently meaning that those new entries the horde makes afterwards, to get back in the system, gets binned too), because I couldn't really care less about your pathetic little horde, if you decide to take a shit on my system.
Despite being of equally moronic and annyoing nature, being incapable of reading and understanding that the URL to a horde's site and forum MUST begin with
http:// and inserting hyphens in ICQ UINs (where they have no place), is not affected by the "zero tolerance" policy (although it probably should)!
