I dont know why Jump and Ambro are at fisitie cuff's,( AND I DONT WANT TO KNOW )

but this was the post from GMI

Istvan, please look at this Thank you to everyone who contributed to the thread that used to be here with the same title.

NetDevil's apparent historical inability to do all the things that the player community insists have to be done for Jumpgate to survive is always going to be based on one of the following two general points:

(1) NetDevil (or its partners) lack the resources to immediately accomplish the obviously necessary tasks.

(2) NetDevil (or its partners) disagree with the opinion that the task is necessary.

For the most part, what I listed as "#1" is usually the case. NetDevil has always been interested in building Jumpgate to the potential it should have had if the game's release had gone better and the publishers done well. Rest assured that if and when the resources become available, NetDevil will act.

NetDevil will do this because we love Jumpgate, too. People here have worked very hard to keep the game running when most companies would have just turned the thing off years ago as an old game that wasn't making magic heaps of cashola. NetDevil didn't do that. We're not giving up, we're not shutting it down, and they can't take the sky from us. Please understand that you, our players and customers, do not need to continue to rant and complain to us with vitriol and anger about what you think we're not doing. I know your frustration is based on love for a game you think is dying. Be aware that we have no plans at all to shut Jumpgate down. Therefore, the game will be here to be filled with whatever attitudes you bring to it.

You've told us already, years ago, what you think we should be doing. We heard you. We do know what the score is, and I have made a list of many things that need to be done. NetDevil as a company is working on other game projects and learning many other things from doing that. We will be bringing these lessons back to Jumpgate. As it becomes possible, and resources become available, things will happen. Things that will make you happier.

I know that I have said things like this before, and we have all continued doing the same old things and playing the same old game. I know that months of seeing tiny little changes and years of waiting get tiresome. Familiarity breeds contempt, and boredom engenders frustration. Frustration is a source of anger, and anger puts members of the community at each others' throats for no good reason.

Everyone needs to take a step back and breathe.

Breathe. Relax. Smell the air.

Do you smell something?

I smell changes.





Don't you guys think that there's a reason I haven't been able to keep up my self-assigned patch schedule?
I will be making announcements in 2007. Watch for them, o ye of little faith.

I did not "go off" at all. Jump "went off" after I responded to his reponse. I saw the whole thing was going south, so I deleted my posts and asked for the thread to be deleted . . . a request I'll reiterate here.
