the sad thing about this forum is that people(like me) are posting to really old topics. my suggestion is to get a filter to filter out all outdated topics, I mean this is gettting ridiculous.

dude, im not the only one, and when you see a topic 4rth from the top you dont think to look and see its 5 months old. or, at least filter out the topics that have been answered(not delete but rather lock if they have useful information).

I think mostly this would be too much effort for too little gain. And you could end up locking a thread somebody may still want to reply to later. It's really not hard to just stick to the current topics.

Yeah, the good old "read before posting" is still the best policy out there. :)

You get flamed every time you post (not just on old topics). It's because no one likes your posts. All you do is flame and insult other people, like in this thread where you insulted both skwerll (a newbie) and me (a project director) neither of which are really kind or intelligent things to do. You also called the project a direct rip of RO (which we have repeatedly explained that it is not, or at least won't be for much longer).

Why don't you try to be a bit more kind and constructive in your future posts, remember that you don't know everything (especially not more than the developers). Either that or make yourself useful, then we might decide that you're worth putting up with.

In fact, you may even feel the need to post in this Apology thread, which I just noticed.

actually I was refering to hallentype, note that I was the only person who actually attempted to help him, you guys just made comments, irrelevent to his question... and I was pissed at his comment because right now this game is in fact very similar to ragnarok online. lets see... same GUI setup, same base/job level. the basic job level goes up to 9 and the rates are the same, in terms of base/job experience. and your login is also quite similar in terms of choosing your hair and hair colour.

the only thing which I would feel the need to apologize for would be for helping people with there questions. I have helped new guys on this forum, in what ways possible, as well as helping about 5 people in the game. ive also brought a few of my friends to this forum to make this a more active community. SO SORRY for all of that...

I didn't want to get into this discussion until now, but it seems that the situation is going out of control.

I thought you were able to have a civil discussion, but if is not that way, I please you to calm down and start it over again. Please calm down everyone and stop insulting each other!

There are other forums where you can do that! This forum is meant to support TMW with constructive ideas and I found it to be also a good place where to meet new friends.

I'm not saying that we should help every noob just because he don't want to read a 10 lines document. But please be kind, and help each other in every possible way.

Now my explanation, if you want to flame me, do it, I don't care.
We keep old posts because you will never know when they come in handy. They could be useful at any time and could avoid double posting.
Just think at the "How you look like?" "How did you get here?" and thread like those ones, why we should close them?

Our game it's pretty similar to Ragnarok simply becaused we're using an emulator of their server. That's why we started the development of our own server, to get away from RO and create a completely new and innovative game.

We're grateful to everyone who's contributing in any way, especially to those who bring more people in here to help this project growing.

Said that I hope everyone understood my point of view.
