well, then clearly (to my insomnia-addled mind at least) there can't be a limit to how many Similar servers there are. There can be two servers about ninjas verses pirates in space. Then is the difference one has better graphics because they don't share? That's not how RPGMaker worked.
I figure the key is Friendly Competition. Maybe I'm dreaming a little too lofty that two directly competing servers would share Anything - maybe if there's ever to be a common Starter's Kit it'll have to be by the GST, and if there's ever gonna be shared graphics it'll be from worlds partnered by virtue of being in utterly different markets - weird, but possible. I forget where I'm going with this, I'm tired...I get why people jealously guard their scripts, why they'd rather see other servers fail than suceed to try and steal their customers...maybe the key is to let each server get their own customers instead of sharing the same Graalian Umbrella...like in the skinnable client thread...or maybe people just need to learn there's plenty of niches to go around...or maybe the PWA need the authority and resources to smack such PWs that, seeing another PW get a better playercount, try too closely to emulate them...maybe force PWs to either stick with their registered genres or fold... |
