At the end of the day it's Stefan's game and he can do whatever the **** he wants with it. Thor's ban was a 50/50 call in my opinion, some people will either agree or disagree. He has disrespected and obviously offended Stefan and that will result in some sort of punishment, but he's banned now and there's nothing you or I can do about it. His ban will expire over the coming weeks and everything will be fine again.

Moving right along...

if you're content with the status quo maybe. willing to let them spit in your face and watch your creative endeavor die out when all they really care about is how many suckers they can dupe out of the dough.
especially if he's so far removed he actually believed Xor had anything at all to do with pc Classic, but that was never what this thread was about.
it was to point out that while Thor crossed the line, stefan still had to lie to justify it.

Can you really support someone who's willing to lie to you?
or
someone who just wanted to give people the chance to experience a
Good Game.

Your posts are hard to read, I'd really like it if you improved your grammar. And I mean this in the most nicest possible way

ON TOPIC:
I know it's hard seeing something you worked so hard for ripped away before your eyes, unjustly. However you yourself admit that Thor crossed the line. That surely indicates something.

He'll be back before you know it, stop stressing Nello!

Stefan's remarks about getting observer mode may have been untrue (according to your side of the story), but Thor ****-talking about iClassic was very real, as well tension between the two staff teams perhaps not recently but in past were there and still appeared to be there considering Stefan brought it up. I would suspect that was also a contributing factor towards Stefan's unwillingness to really respond to Thor.

I also think Classic PC blaming it entirely on Observer mode isn't right either, it had a poor launch week (everyone's quest progress getting reset, killed it for me) and pretty much settled back in the position it was when it went off the server list before. Something else is wrong with Graal the Adventure and it isn't just Observer mode.

I believe Thor will eventually be unbanned and probably given back his position as (a Trial) Manager on Classic PC though. I pretty much went through the same thing except I just pissed off the PWA, so Thor is kind of in a unique situation here but an apology could probably get him through it at least it did for Azrael.  

From a developing standpoint everything that's happened was expected and observer mode was almost entirely the reason. but i'm not going to get into that and it isn't the point of this thread.

Still. it'd be nice if an owner didn't have to lie to justify his action. even nicer if he would treat a professional development team with respect.  

Anyway, Classic is back on the serverlist and has returned from inactive status to just semi-dead. Rejoice.  

All work ffcmike put into the server..  

Time spent working on a server doesn't mean a thing, which is why I highly recommend you don't even bother wasting months developing on Graal if you're the type who constantly pushes buttons.

see all he did probably was say sorry
