It happened because somebody lack enough backbone and moral integrity to not do that. And some more somebodies who want to hop on that project and help to build their team using stolen property.
Yes. But you refuse to see bigger picture and only focus on that part. With content playerbase and decent relation level between community and staff nobody would be interested to hopping to that new server. One unhpapy staff member and few dozen banned players? That server wont last a week. But its not the case isnt? You are afraid it will divide playerbase from RoR server into the new one and its justified thinking. Because of disregard to community shown here by certain staff members and changing game into something that isnt WAR that players loved and wanted to continue to play.
The phrase "you can't please everyone" comes to mind; even if we were fulfilling a certain line of development that would "restore WAR to its former glory" before shutdown, which to me seems like a mediocre fantasy mindset of "everyone was happy and content with the game's state", I'm sure there would be those inclined to suggest more progressive changes instead, like the ones we've been making, in order to deal with fundamental issues that have plagued WAR since its launch. A lot of people loathed the state WAR was in during 1.4.8.; only a select few benefited from it, as the population decreased month by month.
All in all, we're not stopping anyone from trying. Solely stressing that it's sort of ridiculous to revert back to shutdown state when you steal from a server that's already moved way past that point in time. It's as if you're going back in time to re-invent the wheel, by stealing the blueprints of aforementioned wheel...
The only way for us to have prevented this is to not have trusted certain individuals with ulterior motives. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Lot of valid points. But not in any place i said i want pure last days of WAR state. I asked for small tweaks and well though balance. Turning ranged class into mandatory 6 man team melee or wp into Usain Bolt, aint that. Those are key examples, they are flat out visible bad changes, should be scrapped soon as someone suggested it, yet it goes live.
Ofc, you cant never please everyone. But could try at least to listen and respond to playerbase concerns in polite manner, If its too much to ask from someone and he have to resort to ban threats, he aint fit for the job, simple as that.
Yes you do your work for free and its aprieciated, even if not always shown. But server will be nothing without playerbase too, basic respect towards them shouldnt be asking for too much.

You do see irony right? Im talking about disregard, disrespect and resorting to ban threats for speaking up anything you dont agree with, and you do just that.
What my past history? Enlighten me, please. Silly changes to melee wp giving him speed buff on twice shorter cd than actual melee classes? Its still ridiculous "balance". Nothing changed on that topic, which i was already threaten with ban for saying when it happened.
Exactly this attitude you just show, once again, is reason why playerbase is open for new options in the first place. Nobody would give slightest **** about new server if not this kind of behavior paired with unreasonable class changes.
So go ahead, keep banning everyone who dare to talk anything other than aplaud and wonder why you loose playerbase. The honest, non cheating/exploiting one, but simple players who want to continue play WAR they loved.
How many times you want to say the same thing? It's like your, you know, opinion, man. Usually stating it once is enough.
No, its not just my opinion. Plenty of players are displeased with certain staff members and actively looking for options. Maybe, just maybe, you should clean your own house and watch RoR flourish. You have solid group there doing lot of good work but by not removing rotting apples you let whole basket spoil and results of that good work are diminished. Wont be repeating it, hoping it reach out and do some good changes inside the team.
