I'll happily concede that I'm not 100% up to date, but I have been familiar with the Wiki and I have lurked occasionally. There's nothing in the Wiki about the Hoenn region and -- more importantly -- the Wiki excessively highlights that there are only two regions in multiple articles. If I've...

Buddy I was saying Hoenn was just around the corner as recently as 2012 and it still wasn't just around the corner despite it being partially mapped and worked on. Unless the limited map layer issue was corrected/improved there's no way Hoenn can exist correctly in PWO, let alone any other...

Administrative (listed by importance): Prioritize the existing to-do list Record Keeping (spreadsheets, meeting notes) Quality Assurance (EX: "Will players enjoy having to find a random tree in a forest?" "Will they understand the quest instructions?") Website Management (EX: playerdex...

Zebra, that's an incredibly interesting analysis, but it's discussing five different moves. How do things change when you factor in needing to abandon one of the four five moves, and are there any new potential counters opened up in this way? In other words, would introducing Earthquake...

The issue with adding Hoenn is that we only have three map layers, and for a while even had just two. That's clearly/obviously not enough. The mapping system was hardly touched between 2008 and 2012, and any changes over the past year would have required a client update to see any use. If a new...

I once suggested potentially removing money. It wasn't a serious suggestion, but the ramifications of removing cash were interesting to think about. It both fixes some problems and creates others. For example, if we were to remove money and replace it with a daily credit system, we'd lose the...

From 2009 it's easily the staff overhaul. I can't stress enough how important that was. The game was growing at an exponential rate, and needed a better support network to compensate. Bringing in and empowering a new moderation team, combined with Fennikusu's amazing work on the original...

Kyro and Zammbi, two friends from New Zealand. Kyro moved to Australia in order to attend University, and basically abandoned the project as a result. Zammbi moved out of the spotlight for Xanatus to take over, but then Xan played this game where he would pop in once every few months, make a...

In the past we had discussed the idea of Pokemon randomly dropping things like Shards and Mushrooms that could be sold for cash. Also, daily quests were discussed but determined (at the time) unfeasible due to server instability. Bounty quests would be cool if it could be sorted out, but...

'cago.

Be excellent to each other. Here's a few short ones, lol. Zammbi gave me permission to ban him during a staff meeting, so I did. He didn't realize what had happened until later. Mantis and I were working on a side quest that fell apart, but it involved exploding lemons. I think it was...

10 Duck sized horses. I am all too familiar with the mating habits of the male duck. I do not want to encounter one that is eight feet tall.

In many ways, I don't feel as certain roles are taken seriously or as respected as they should be. The apprentice process is dragged out and training people isn't a priority as much as time spent in the position is. I don't feel as though the guides are thanked enough when they do a good job...

Fantastic.

Unless it's the bot's creator and unless they can provide the source code/actually work with whichever staff members are qualified to tackle the problem, ban 'em. I'm totally fine with white hat hacking/botting as long as the parties concerned are open and clear about their intentions, and keep...

I used to be incredibly rash and immature, but thanks to my experiences here I've grown a lot as a leader. I still use a lot of the lessons that I learned from working with the PWO team in my current work. The biggest thing was learning to listen to people better, and realizing that being...

Sup beauts, you doin anything tonight? I have been fine, just very busy. I basically work for an indoor carnival, and three of our teams are being rebuilt from scratch. I'm the only trainer for two of the teams, so they have me working a ton of hours.

You don't, once they are injured too much they die. You will need to discard them and make a new one.

Without having any real information about what's happening behind the scenes it's hard to say for certain, but I don't see why not. It kicked off its alpha client in January 2008, so it's already survived for six years. Back in 2008-2009 we were just one of around ten total Pokemon MMOs in...

By and far the early staff revamps. The original development team was firmly against delegating tasks to a wider group of people. It was to the extent that the Spriting and Mapping teams weren't even consulted or invited to project discussions -- they basically just were told "do this" and that...
