If he knew java and had weeks to program a simple item transfer at the cost of MTC per use, it'd probably be on the server by now. There is no need to start personal attacks on him simply because he is voicing what he and many others are seeing.

I would have wrote the plugin, But minetown has refused my offer to help with plugins on many occasions. Believe me i am more than capable of writing something like this. When it comes to server administration I am just as skilled any any of the admins currently running minetown.

ok ok ok people, everyone calm down...

people have different views and people are allowed to complain elite, if you cannot deal with complaints don't be on staff. people will complain about everything....

before this turns into another forum war can we just act a bit more maturely? don't go throwing put downs... staff are busy yes, and yes deadlines do get overrun by a bit sometimes. to be honest this item transfer thing to me defeats the point of starting on a new map... btw that's what the staff want and im sure they have planned this all out, sometimes it just takes longer than expected...

so everyone just be patient over the plugins....

When have I shown I cannot deal with complaints? I don't believe anyone has the right to say ignorant and incorrect things about Staff in the forums, as has been done in this thread and most others regarding Classic and Agharta. Staff are not neglecting any server.

If you believe you can help, apply for Dev. Members generally do not make our plugins.

I was just trying to defuse the situation...

I believe lance said he offered help which I assume means I tried to get dev but they refused, I could be wrong

I think that you guys can do better, can't anyone make a thread around here, and stay completely on topic? Why does it always end up in squabbles on who is better, or judging the staff here?

Our admins do a ton of work, more than you might think, and their work does go unnoticed by us, because they don't take a lot of credit for their work, but either way, rather than saying oh why arent you doing this, blah blah blah. We should say good job. I have heard many peole complain about how they AFK forever, there is stuff you can't see. Lots of times they are talking in staff chat, making sure staff are doing fine, and fixing the never ending bug list. A lot of these bugs you never see. Becayse they are staff related, or even an individual player. Also, a lot of our playerbase is a younger teenager or pre-teen type, and all these Admins are mostly in college or older. They have a much different schedule than us. Another thing on their inactivity. As you get these higher staff positions, they put more work on you, taking away from game time, an ordinary member spends ll their time ingame, where as the Admins dont take of in-game things, its server things, such as what happened nearly a year ago. When we suffered lots of DDoS attacks and some hardware failure and was down for nearly a month, with just a temp server. The Admins had to do alot there.

Here is a suggestion, stop complaining, rather than saying it isn't done, when will it be done and all that, just wit, or even help, if you can develop a plugin, and would like to help, make a dev app, or ask staff and see who is making the plugin, and see if they need help coding it, or whatever. If you have an idea on how to improve a server, make a suggestion, and if you can help make it happen at the rank you are, try to.

If there is a plug in or setting on a specific server that you think would be beneficial being modified, its a good idea to talk to the server manager via PM on these forums. Also voting does more than you think, I saw minetown on a top voter list, and I decided to try it out, and here I am, 1 year and counting... If you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything, the post was here to help imrove the classic server only, the transfer plugin will be used to benefit member s from classic to move to main, it really wont help classic at all.

So, lets try to be good here, and try to hep this server, not say why its going wrong.

They won't accept me as a dev because I complain too much. I wouldn't be setting an example. As for making ignorant comments, its you own damn faults. Because you lock everything away in the staff forums and never tell us things. So please don't bitch about problems that you cause. I know the amount of work required to make minetown run. And I can tell you people are slacking.

Lance, just stop. There is a lot of work put into the servers, and a lot of the staff members have to balance real life with their MT staffing. So please, take a look from their side of the story. Here isn't the place to start a flame war between staff and you.

"simple" Okay. How do you think those items are transfered to different servers? Magic? No. SQL. SQL is a hard thing to learn, I have just started learning it, and I am having a ton of issues with it. There are still devs who have issues with it, know Codename_B ? The one who wrote bPerms, and several very popular minigames, he told me he still has issues a lot with sql in java.

The plugin is not as "simple" as you think.
