It's not like there were players pressuring all along for it to be revived, they all fluttered to GK while 2k1 needs them in order for it to work and all I see now is a handful rebelling months later after they themselves abondoned the server.
It takes players for this server to work, a consistant amount of around 60, not 5. You guys pressured for a release before. Why didn't you patriots support it while there was staff there working on the kingdoms until the release of them? Surely that isn't all to the server, I for one liked it for the economy.
I don't believe it's right that you suddenly put pressure on him when he decides to get something done. Give him time to make arrangements with Excalibur, it's only been a day you guys started being persistant. _When_ it is revived, I'm positive Lance would do a better job as manager than any of you ever can. I've worked with him first hand, I know what he's capable of.
Furthermore...I'm pretty sure there are far more competent server managers than you, Zurkiba.
Edit: One more thing, he has tried hiring and arranging meetings with staff occasionally. THEY did nothing. Not even show and when they did, not stick to plans. Many are these supposed "talented" supporters of yours. Despite of this a lot of kingdoms work was done, best quality you can get at that, along with a few little extras here and there. It's not like there was a large demand for the server until NOW and again, you are just a handful. I wouldn't doubt it would never return to it's original state and the classic tab players would neglect it despite of good content, staff, etc just because of how small and diversified the population is on a whole.

I see no difference in this situation then the situation with Jeff. 1+1 will ALWAYS equal 2... I dont care if you're some god, 1+1=2. Tseng pointed out obvious facts against Jeff. Now we're pointing out nearly, with extras, those same points against Tseng. So if Tseng believed Jeff should've stepped down for those points why doesn't Tseng himself step down?
I did not abadon the server... ever so often myself and Gryffon would discuss the kingdoms and generate ideas for them. I believe Tseng abandoned the server.
If G2k2 was never released then we wouldn't have to worry about a revival or anything now would we? But why is it that a server such as Classic can keep more players then 2k1? You cant blame G2k2 as the downfall of G2k1 anymore as it is an illrelevent situation.
You need staff before the players. How do you think everything happens? I dont see Graal 3D with a playerbase of 60 but development is going on it. Why is G2k1 exempt from the same laws?
The Staff... I do not believe they were as lazy as you say they were, as they
refuse to go back to G2k1 and work for Tseng. That's just saying something =x
There has always been a huge demand for G2k1. We're just getting an urge to feast on it again. We've been pushing Tseng recently and apparently all he's been doing is playing other games. Has Excal even been contacted? Does Excal know his job? Have you once thought that you will need more than one LAT? That's probably why you are losing staff... because you have one person doing the workload.
If you'd read my speech I've only expressed a desire. I believe I would do a better, if not the best, job as manager on 2k1. You have no proof to back up your claim that I would be a bad manager. If you read my speech you'd also see that if people think they can do better than I can as a manager then to speak up for themself.
As for the managers need some development skills. This is all too wrong, it's shameful that Graal has gone into a state of mind that says the manager has the be the best developer. This is why so many servers fail, and others just fall into a horrible sense of quality. A manager needs
one skill, Leadership. When you lack that one skill then everything falls apart. Why is it that I have a staff base willing to work for me and not Tseng? I'll let you draw your own answers.
Classic players would neglect G2k1? Hardly. The other day I did a survey on the classic servers. An overwhelming support for the return of 2k1.
You simply do not understand what you have here. You just dont understand. If you're wondering why we just started all of this? Tseng hasn't done anything for G2k1 at all. Please dont generate your lies to cover it up ethier

2k1 wasn't made by one person... and look at it now. Good levels and such.
And have you ever wondered why the previous LAT took months? Because there was only one and he probably wasn't motivated. I mean he quit because of the lack of management.
