Just for all of you to chuckle at, I actually decided to help these poor souls out by coding for them while my machine is down. I went on, they made me level 33 (I laughed at that, but didn't really care. Let them have their ego trips) and gave me account access. Well, I couldn't even telnet to the machine since they only allow telnets from certain domains for security reason. I said cool, and ftp'd things file by file and worked on them, ftp'd back, and had one of them compile. (It's great when you ask what's wrong and they say, Line 377. And you say what's wrong with it? And they say "Im not gonna type all that!") Well, i fixed everything from a botched up patch job, and fixed a skill, and coded a fun god command, and began to install color when I called it a night. The next day, I login to find my god deleted, and after sticking around to find out the real reason (there was a misunderstanding on why) I find out that they decided to stick with only the people they knew in real life, and their old coder who hadn't done anything in, (from what i gathered) weeks. I logged on and wrote a nasty post, but also explained how to remove what I had done to the color code so they didn't have thousands of compiler errors. (Rather nice of me I thought) I log in later that night, to find my character deleted, as well as the other character I had been playing. It just goes to show that some people are really ungrateful. I wish them luck, but seeing as only one of them has any prior immort experience, I don't expect much. -Pirahna
