Manannan,
Giving an equal gift to everyone is the simplest and most fair way that we could approach this event. If you feel the need to discuss it further please contact me in private message or email.

Congratulations and thank you to all the Devs for listening to us and allowing us to have a voice in the game. Woohoo! I'm so happy the game is growing (time to expand the world?....*ducks*).

I'm happy to get 50 prestige considering they didn't have to give us anything at all. Thank you!

Thank you very much. Is much appreciated.
Now, everybody make an alt, and we can double the accounts immediately and get another 50 prestige.

My bad... I tried to resist myself for comparing to the RL stuff. I forgot that its the same in cyberspace as in RL. The more effort you put in the more you're ignored and the more others get the rewards for what you to. I know this opens me up for a load of broadsides so fire away peeps... couldn't give a anymore. I was particularly thinking about Beau and his reviews on this one though and how much business he has brought to the game (and headaches for the older players). |
wow.
just wow.
i've been around in illy a lot longer than you, manannan, and i can tell that the devs give away free prestige *to everyone* on fairly regular milestones (anniversaries, christmas etc), and
for you to complain about this "not recognising you long contribution to the game" shows you to be:
a) elitist
b) killjoy
c) scroogish a-hole
what do you think youre enttitled to here? why do you think you deserve special treatment? why do you think that dev milestones with free prestige should only be for 'elite' certain players?
special shame on you for bringing up beau and his great reviews of the game to support your hatred of new players. shame shame shame on you.
i can 100% tell you (without having a hotline to the devs - because i dont) that if you ever thougt you'd get appointed as a moderator or any other special recognition thing, youve just ruined it with these 2 posts; moderator means moderation.
what a a-hole.
slow handclaps for scrooge mana, everyone!

I can see where he's coming from. Rewarding some guy who happened to create an account at the right time the same way you'd reward a guy who has given you a lot money than what you're about to refund can be frustrating. No offence to the newbies but I don't think you guys deserve it either.
That said however, I do agree that you can't give free prestige to some members and not others without it being for some kind of contest or tournament. It was cause a lot of trouble and that's not something I'd want the GMs to have to deal with.

it is if you ignore the year. attention to detail is sometimes important when you're trying to look clever
i was an alpha tester. don't often talk in chat or forum post tbh except when things really get on my tits, like this thing. and no, before you ask, i don't know anythin special about anything as the game has changed pretty much completely since i tested it and i wasnt involved in testing any of the changes.

where do you people come from? a gift is a gift is a gift.
take it or gtfo, but dont complain that little jonny got a better gift than you or that you are older than your brother and that your gift should have been bigger than his just because you're older! really, children, grow up.
as to where my last comment came from?
it's these players such as mana and The_Dude who believe they're special because once upon a time they posted something and helped some newbies out and they now occasionally drop into gc to have their egos massaged based on their glory days when they were relevant and useful to the game.
and now were hearing that theyre entitled to "more" than anyone else, when its a free gift ffs. really people, get over yourselves.

Great work devs :) more players, more fun :)
Sorry to hear you feel this way Man :/
I think getting better game is reward enough, but I do like some prestige dropping to my account keep it coming

Missed the year, my bad.
And who are you in game? Seeing as your forum name isn't an account...

You people? What? Do I fit into a certain group of people now because I don't solely agree with you?

And the plot thickens. Do we really need to get into the whole jealousy thing here? Yes, some players actually make an effort to interact and help people within the game however judging them based on the fact that they actually do something is ridiculous. And yes, I do think those people are a hell of a lot more important than some random guy who just created an account yesterday or the guy who posts under a different forum name than his game account.
However as I've already said, I do not think it would be a good idea to reward those players rather than the others. Not because the people who actually have done something aren't more deserving of a reward for it but because it would cause massive problems with the GMs and cause a lot of complaints.
I see where mana is coming from and frankly, I think you do too if you stop and think about it. If you worked your butt off at work every day for 15 years and then everyone including the new guy who's been there for 2 days got a raise (of the same amount), you'd probably be pretty angry too.
