The community use to be one of the best quallities about pwo, now it's the worst. Fact that players are stating death threats and making post like this to the only person keeping this game afloat not only proves that, but how irrational and ignorant this community has become.
The only reason hes the only one "keeping the game afloat" is because hes a power hungry mongrel who wants all the glory and none of the blame, while not allowing anyone to take on the roles that he is too incompetent to handle. I have no pity for him.
To further expand, the reason the staff had a severe lack of direction, or lack of production, is not their fault. Really, it isn't. Its on the admins. You have one admin (bluerise) who is creatively inept, has terrible communication skills, and does not work well with players. He does not know how to manage people, and he cant distribute roles. He is not a recruiter (because he spends almost no time in game, so doesn't see which players are interacting well with the community, who has what skills, etc), and honestly cannot learn to bypass obstacles presented in his way. If it wasn't for the rest of staff, the game would be dead. Not bluerise. To top off the matters, Bluerise is a stubborn mule, who does not want to distribute power to those who can help take on roles he is incompetent of handling, unless you literally blow his cheeks. He's a monarch in his own mind. He had a chance to make an ally, who could help smooth all this out for him. His own arrogance, and him putting himself above the game, led to him disrespecting the person who came in good faith, to try and get the community back on staff side. Bluerise deserves everything said to him, until he stops being an arrogant prick, and learn to swallow his ego.
Secondly, sure PWO is a team, but if PWO is a team, Jinji is its mascot. Throughout my 5 years there, this guy did literally nothing. He was easily manipulated (judging by how easily shadowwolf got him to ip ban me from every single facet of the game with no trial or appeal until Zammbi stepped in. He would afk or leave our MSN meetings early, and he helped foster the notion that once you're staff, you do not have to do anything. Jinji has been an Admin since 2008? He stopped contributing towards 2009. There was a point in time where no one even wanted to give him server access for fear he'd **** **** up. The guy does nothing, is dead weight, and still parades around acting like hes this and that. He claims to wear hats such as "mapping leader" or the more recent "head of recruitment" but all of this is a facade.
For everyone championing Bluerise (and whoever champions Jinji, although i doubt theres any of those left) they have more negative qualities than positive. Lee
s biggest contribution, is maintaining the donation system. He does minor server updates, database updates, and playerdex updates. That is ALL hes good for. And he is the reason PWO has remained stagnant, and will remain stagnant for years to come, unless more creative minds are placed at the top of the food chain. Bluerise is not a leader, just posing as one. Until he gets out of his stubborn ***, and stops treating PWO like his personal kingdom, this game will be stagnant, and he'll deserve every criticism he gets. If there were more admins than just him and jinji, threads like these wouldnt be happening.
EDIT: also, its funny how someone makes one death threat (because of lees own doing) towards lee and he gets a bunch of his fanboys jumping and defending him and xyx, meanwhile when i had to deal with constant death threats and harassment from latino players such as michaelleroi, i was left high and dry by staff, no one came to my defense, i didnt make no pity post, no one even batted an eye. and then months later, i was demoted due to "attitude". I hope bluerise looks in the mirror, and realize the **** hes going through now, i went through 10x worse, and i didnt make a pity post. i guess karma really does exist.
