This stagnated the speed of development of non event content dramatically, stagnating anything not related to events.

Then, you have Storm, who allowed every LAT Admin, and GC Dev dept.(I admit we really shouldn't have made the GC practically all the content of the server), to take full control of the overall developmental direction the server went Master Storm did barely any of his duties he should as a Manager, both from chronic inactivity and his indecisiveness.

every LAT admin was able to dramatically change the direction of the server yet he felt he was unable to AMIRITE

im sure thor will delete this thread for the same exact reason as the thread about him..

But I want to put in my 2 cents before it happens, DC seems like he knows what he is doing, he is just too ****y it seems.

i voted no.
the day i took the job, Classic was already in a coffin with the nails to close it shut not far behind. I think everyone could agree to an extent that after the dual management debacle, the servers chances of survival were low.

The problems were widespread, first off, you had 2 managers that for my period of Dev Admin, just went nearly completely inactive. Storm moreso than Thor. Nonetheless, in order to make sure needed management work got done, myself ,with the help of my development team, frequently had to essentially do tasks that the Management(that have the ability to code aswell!) should be doing.

For example:
The management duo had the task of giving me a general outline for what they wanted for the server, just a broad sense of which directions we were taking. They could never reach an agreed direction on things, thus, a couple months later, I had to take it upon myself to decide what server the direction was going to be developmentally and storylinewise. I also had to fill in for Night when he went inactive with some GC matters, mostly regarding the ticket crisis and GCs seeming collapse, me having designated some of my scarce developer resources to trying to stop GC's sinking ship.

All and all, with inactivity and all. It would have taken a miracle to get Classic back on full track. I thought I could give it my best shot and hope for the best. Apparently the problems were too great for me to fix, for that it kinda sucks.

But I voted no because I went into this thing knowing Classic was probably ****ed anyway.
I still think I had a decent growning development team. That if we had a senior member or 2 around like WD, could have really had potential. I also wish Luda would had been around as sort of a levels admin, to lead the way in the visual style of classic, as well as teach the young and eager to work tilers so they could reach their potential under him. With some extra pieces there, I think we could have made a stronger show.

Edit: didn't proofread my post at all

Also if you read my quote, it explains how I thought dramatically changing the direction of the server was idiotic and a reason classic was in such shambles.

i wasn't unable to change the direction, i didn't do it because it would have been ****ing stupid.

learn to read.
