Project Information: ArcEmu - Ascent

[Vaniq]

hasbro, if everybody thanked burlex, ascent would still be here.

This is not a flame but a community member observation, but ban me all you like.

I am pretty much silent on these (and any other WOW-Drama forums), but love the emulator project(s) nonetheless. I was a huge fan of AscentEmu and Burlex, until Burlex turned into a whiney drama queen, closing his source every other day and throwing tantrums like an spoiled little girl. Really disappointed me as a fan and community member. Everytime I would hit the SVNs, they were offline. Scan the forums, find some blistering thread about "how dare someone..." blah blah.

I don't care the reasons. All I know is it effected my experience with the emulator. Unfortunately, there was nowhere else to go for a high quality game, so yeah. I've stuck around, but my own server suffers a lack of updates for months at a time due to developers and their dick-wrassling contests. Truly disheartening. Grow up, man up, and get the job done, enjoy the work and be proud someone cares enough to use it.

And tell me, is there a way to negative-karma someone here? Because Ballwinkle is just a dick.


Best luck, Hasbro and ArcEmu. Suggestion: Think before you speak, always keep a level head. As a leader, that is mandatory or no one will respect you.

~waits for banstick~

# Optional Settings
#
#    Starting Level
#     This controls at which level characters are created. Range is from 1-70.
#     Default: 1
#
#    Level Cap
#        This variable controls the level that stats will be generated up to internally.
#        Beyond this level players can still see a higher level visually but their stats won't
#        increase beyond this point.
#        Default: 70
#
#    Generated Level Level Cap
#       This variable controls the level at which stats will generate up to. Generally the formulas go
#       crazy after level 70 so this way you can keep the high visual but stats at a reasonable value.
#       Default: 70
#
#    Allow The Burning Crusade characters
#       This will override account settings, so you can disable TBC from your server without having to mess with accounts.
#       Default: 1

There rofl

[Fantomass]

ArcEmu is the very best now ,optional r great and there r updates everyday
first was antrix then ascent and now is ArcEmu....
ArcEmu Rocks

[TheZaronz]

Yeah, but the first emu in the family of ascent and that was WoWd?

[Hasbro]

Wow Daemon - Wowd was the "first" emu in the Ascent family.

[andy012345]

I don't know why my name is there. I havn't been on the dev team since the drama over openascent.

[Sonic Waffle]

Meh... I like ArcEmu, but not Hasbro. At the moment HE has the bad rep and not the team/EMU. I think I will use Arc for now untill Ascent gets working again...

P.S. Hasbro, I'm everywhere! There is no way for you to loose me... :clap:

[Clain]

You forgot EspireEmu :O

Burlex and the entire Scape team are a bunch of drama queens who will do anything to get their way.

ArcEmu is ftw, but I still like to annoy Hasbro with silly threads <3.

[мιяаgє]

WoWD -> Antrix -> Ascent -> Summit


and put yourself in burlex's shoes. u spend over 2 years of your life coding something, for what? not money, but for entertaining everyone. Then you get people who DDoS his webserver, spam him on msn and irc. And you wonder why he keeps it closed source? (for now).

and about arcemu....i would like a leader that know what #define is LOL.

I think we all know by now that you are pro ascent... stop posting about it in Arcemu's thread =.=

Arcemu is ftw, and always will be

screw burlex's shoes? if it was just for entertainment why did he quit? if it wasn't for money why should he care if hasbro has donations? non-profit my ass.

makes about as much sense as those Chinese servers "pulling in 10k a day" srsly. wtf, i cannot name a single chinese server let alone one that had enough players to make 10k a day, what are they selling donations for crack? how the hell would he even know how much they make?

hasbro can't code. what else is new? he's got like 10 people who can so who cares?

[Clain]

Actually, Trelorn is the one who cares about donations, BUT WoWScape makes way more money then what they spend on the servers despite what Trelorn said about the profit = $0.00. Once on emupedia this guy posted their personal information and that they made 40,000 just from donations ingame in a year

[arigity]

i realize that it was trelorn whining about donations and not burlex, and that it is also likely trelorn not burlex causing trouble with arcEMU but i was on a rant and didn't feel like bothering with details XD
