I sometimes end up browsing OTLand and Ive noticed something. God Mythera, you are an overweight american with extremely low intelligence and zero actual experience in running a successful server. You are constantly called out by people, yet you completely ignore everything they say. You always have something to whine about other peoples servers, yet you have done much worse with your own, you are a disgrace to this community. Look at yourself and how you speak from an outside perspective, you are constantly begging for money back from all the servers and criticizing everyone without an actual reason, it is as if you are just looking for popularity and a higher post count. You are an extremely sad human atleast when looking at all of this from outside. I can tell just by looking at Ryan's latest project that he has spent hundreds of euros on everything from advertising, marketing, sprites, client-sided editions to everything else, yet you are here stating your opinions which are wrong due to your lack of knowledge about any of this.
These people in here do not understand what goes into maintaining an open tibia server in the long term, they have zero actual experience. All they ever had was a few small projects but they have zero understanding of what Ryan or a couple of other people are doing here.
Most people in here are indeed toxic and express themselves unintelligently which does give a good show of their personality. You are constantly bashing and writing bad messages about Ryan, or atleast certain individuals are, yet they have no understanding of the world or human nature, or better yet, psychology or similar areas related to understanding the human experience. This man is not the same person he was 10 or 5 years ago. Who is? If someone stayed the same for 10 years it is a clear marker of a complete idiot with no ability to improve or develop as a human being. People grow, especially people in positions such as Ryan and other server owners, their flaws are constantly pointed out and they have to deal with absurd amount of criticism which is often unjustified.
All this just goes to show that most people in here are extremely simple people who spend massive amounts of time playing this ridiculous game without ever having to face any real adversity. Sad, sad & sad people.
I can see some stupid arguments popping up such as: "But he shouldnt have done these things...."
Of course he shouldnt have but a person cannot change the past and it is clear to me and should be to anyone else who doesnt belong to the Homo Erectus species that he is really working hard in here and doing great things, he is not the same man he was years ago. Who is? An idiot would be the same man and it is easy to tell he is not an idiot nor a bad person.
You people keep whining about servers dying within a few weeks but you could easily observe that no matter the greatness of a project or the size or man hours put into it, these servers die out faster than you'd like and there is very little blame to be put on the server owners. It is the way this community has worked for years now and there is nothing to do about that anymore, only the community itself can change that. Stop wanting more fights, more things, more action, more activity at all times. You arent showing any real support to servers, or most of you certainly arent. You are just going after the next big thing with the most activity, the blame is on you, the people.
