bebeto quotes "Where are the trolls when we actually need them? lol This kind of whining, complaining and outright uninformed, "

we are uninformed because the lag is getting horrid and the staff give us no information on anything

and you barely play on minetown that much you just play on pearl so dont act like your staff on agharta and spamming threads complaining about our complaints even though you probably dont have much of an idea whats going on
What does that have to do with anything?
"Imagine a train wreck (lag or server issues)- ppl laying all over the ground with various stages of injuries. The doctors (server owners) are doing all they can to stop the bleeding and heal the injured (the server). Some patients (updates, new plugins) have new or rare complications. Specialists (hosting companies, devs) are called in. Spectators (players) rally round and harass the doctors with opinions and complaints that add nothing to fixing the injured or helping the situation in any meaningful way. They complain their "tax dollars"(donations) are wasted. In the end the best spectators are supportive and patient - and do not threaten or rudely complain about the situation. And while we may be entitled to an explanation that there is a problem and all is being done as fast as possible to fix the issues, we are not entitled to the minute -by-minute solutions discussed or applied to remedy the injuries by the owners. Not to mention most wouldn't understand anyway."

that is the dumbest analogy ever someone dying has nothing to do with lag on a video game
im quoting what bebeto is saying
Since this thread has reached it's conclusion, could we got a lock? Further discussion/argument and mindless blabber like the above is not needed.
Yes I think a lock is a good idea from like the beginning lol. There have been the same questions and answers - like mentioned above in many posts in the forums and in conversations in chat ingame . Apparently some ppl missed the "train". <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

Pearl is part of MT - no matter where I play most I am part of MT. My point is and was - if you read all the forums and pay attention ingame to chat - the staff have answered many times very nicely with the proper answer at the time. I have only played on MT a little over a year. But if I've seen the questions and answers - especially about lag issues - everyone else can too if they look.

Legit questions and concerns are always welcome- redundant complaining is not - especially echos by troll fanboyz. Once again - ppl have said at the time what the then current issues were and what was being done.

Staff has answered - but seems some ppl missed those posts or chats so they neglect to research before complaining, generalize and inflate the time-frames and bash anyone who recognizes or points out their mistakes. One on hand they brag about their personal time, donations or other contributions and on the other hand they demand instant and constant updates citing their "right to be informed" with no tangible evidence that they have done their part to "read back" or "easily find" the answer. When all they really want is the problem solved - which we all do.

We will be there when we get there - until then have a cookie!

"I AM better than YOU - but ONLY if you think you are better than me!" lol

As for the donator expectation I would like to say that donators are paying customers. And anyone with knowledge of business would understand that. Although I could have gone about this rant in a better way. The truth is that players are paying for a product. If you went to a video game store and bought a game. Got home, played it for a half an hour and it stopped working. Would you go back to the store to buy another one? Or would you go back and expect to be refunded or expect to get a working copy? It should not matter where the money is coming from. Whether it is from someones parents or from hard working adults wanting a good experience and release from rl.

.

I'm just going to point out that donating isn't the same thing as purchasing a product.

When donationg you are infact not paying for a product. You are giving someone (or in this case the server) an amount of money as a gift. Therefore you cannot expect to recieve anything in return.

It just happens that Minetown has decided to give you a gift in return if you donate (in the form of donation packages).

(This also means that you can't expect to get a refund if you regret donating, but I think you already know that)

Also, I want to point out that this post wasn't meant as a personal attack, or anything alike. I just wanted to clearify.

This point was already made in a previous post.

Although this has also been stated. Locking this thread might be a good idea. It is just going to keep getting a bunch of repeat arguments. Just sayin
Thread has run its course, feel free to offer friendly, polite and constructive ideas about the topic in a new thread (should you have any).
