Subject: Can anyone please frag this SPAM Annihilator please?

I tried to add the followin post to the "Factions" thread twice: once from the office about 5 hours ago (1/2 hour after my last post on this board), then about 5 minutes ago from home. Nonsensical and possibly off-topic contents aside, how can it be considered as a repost?

I personaly just don't want to be in the dev's pants :-p

who wants... at least who of us wants?

Actually by "devs" I didn't mean developer as in "implementer". Developing is fun, been doing a lot professionally
and am still doing some. Finding bugs in your code or ways to improve it is a blast, and making that darn heap of
plastic, metal and silicon do what you want it to do gives me a lot of satisfaction :)

What I meant is that I wouldn't want to be the designer for an MMORPG, when you try to design a world that
would be fun to live in for tens of thousands of players, whose sole purpose is to tear your creation apart then flame
you because it suxxors... Been doing that a lot myself lately (the tearing apart thing, I am more of a silent quitter
than an avid flamer).

Every MMORPG has some pluses/minuses, has its own perks. Now assembling all the good things, finding ways to improve
the bad - now that's a daunting task.

For example the ages-old problem of twinking (which is not really an issue for me actually). Mythic thought they had
found ways to eradicate twinking in DAoC. Come on, it's alive and well, almost as easy as in EQ or AC.

Must be hell to find the right way to implement death penalty, guilds, twinking, economy, class/race/skill balance,
so that the game is not too frustrating, is fun and challenging for the maximum number of customers.
