GV: The return of the king(dom)

#1

Post by Konar6 » Thu Feb 21, 2013 11:43 am

So as you might have noticed, we are back in duty. A week ago GV went down, trolls were celebrating and those who are here to actually play the game couldn't play on their favourite server. And I thought hey.. that's not the right way now.

With current state of affairs, we decided to press the power switch and do a hard reboot with some reorganizations, which means for now, we have a new blank sheet, all bans and grudges were wiped and everyone is welcome to join our drama-free group in #grandvoid.

That was a wasted good April Fools joke there though, eh.

So the whole thing's being passed off as a big publicity stunt?

Dude. I'd almost say that's low, considering how the shutdown came to happen in the first place (I watched the heated argument that led to it). Now the whole ordeal that affected all of Zandronum's populace was all to get back at some "trolls"? Toying with the whole community to get back at some random small handful of people? It's the principle of the matter that strikes me as just... wrong.

The hell, man.

I'm pretty sure there was no planned return when GV went bye-bye earlier.

Hooray! The European lag fest returns!

You're really good at deceiving yourself if you think that, TTA.

It's cute to know that this is what goes on in Zanzan. A new low achieved right there.

I'll have to agree with Goliath and Medicris over here. We all saw the pastebins Jenova provided in his discussion thread. Only kids/fools would buy it AT THIS STAGE. I mean, come on, how dumb do you have to be (or naive, I don't know) to think of everything like this? Man...

As for the return of GV itself, I really don't care much anyway. I guess it's better for euro clans :P

I never saw the pastebins. Back when I checked the thread, pastebin was down, so I couldn't check them... And I didn't bother checking the thread later on.

(appearently it still is down for me, huh)

All you fucking kids and all your fucking drama. I don't even understand half of it, which I guess is a compliment to my own intellect.

I'm glad GV is back so I can keep playing the game I've loved for twenty years with solid ping. Thanks Konar6 <3

You misjudged the issue. The heated argument had little to do with my resolution, which has been made before and was more or less just a matter of time. And look, I didn't make a dramatic thread, or publicity stunt about it.
When you are a rock fan and join a rock band, and see that after some time it gradually moves to playing country, would you stay in that band? It's how I feel. Now consider that I spend countless mass of money and time on *this*..
However, after seeing the bad effect caused,

I realized that I can try a different approach, break the stereotype, you name it. If you want to call it "publicity stunt", I don't consider it any bigger publicity stunt than AlexMax's/NJ pull to Odamex just to return 3 days later, or Jenova's overly concern about a group of people criticizing his server policy (just throwing these out here for reference; I wish AlexMax and Jenova many successful days of service).

Sir, if you are a typical American here who thinks he is the center of universe and can't accept that Europe exists or put up with 110 ping, no need to bother with your remarks (some Americans are cool though!). But, do you see me shitposting in your threads or trolling on your servers?
Like Euro servers? Enjoy. Don't like our servers, ignore them. And I think you do, so what's the problem here? You people are bringing drama to where there is none intended.

Well, For me the best "full" server is grandvoid from canada, I could get 150 ping on it *_*, NE i got 160-80 and The (uk grandvoid and iddqd) I got 220-250 .-.

"Hooray! The European lag fest returns!"
Did you really need to post that ridiculous coment? comon, If I spend time posting things like that I maybe be banned fast xD (I avoid and I just received 3 warnings O_o)...

ON:glad to see grandvoid back (I think master won this time the duel challenge xD)

edit:(If someone find some wrong word here type, then I could correct, I´m not a noob on English but but I´m not an expert too :s)

Glad you finally threw out your idea of a typical American, goes to show how shallow and ignorant you actually are. No, I don't think i'm the center of the universe, I have no problem playing on European servers. I'll play on the NL servers any day BUT Grand Void has always been terrible. I know i'm not the only one to say that either and I hardly see you fit to run them.
