It can be a great thing sometimes. It can also be a downfall too. I've been a rather ambitious person over the last year or so, espcially with OC. I started that with my own money. I bought a webserver and a domain and overnight a community was born. I used my existing server as the main hub, if you will. I've ran my own servers ever since November of 08. I always liked the idea of a community but only then had I really tasted it. Come March 3rd of 2010 and things went far, fast. I guess I should owe it all to Jake and Blackfur, as on the night before, Me, Jake and him were going to have a meeting, because PE was going down shit creek fast. Black then raged (reason still unknown) and temp. shut PE down. The administrators were worried, concerned, confused and angry. We all had a long meeting as well, and said our farewells because we genuinely thought PE had truly copped it.
So moving on to March 3rd, daytime, Jake was in talks with Darthkatzs (Probably got the z and the s mixed up, but whatever) about things. Darth was gonna move to VD, but jake convinced him otherwise, and since then, we've been going up ever since, minus a few setbacks.
You know, if you had asked me back in december what I would have invisioned OC to become in 6-7 months time, I would never have said that we'd have our own RP gamemode.
I am genuinly proud of OC. I admire the ambition of it, the skills of the members, and just how coincidental it all seemed. It worked out though.
OC in my opinion has already past the amount of members I thought it were to have at our current time right here. I thought it to be around 3000-4000, turns out to be that theres not just 6000, nor 7000, but 8200. Just around four days ago there was 7500 members.
ReplyDeleteThat right there is amazing. OC is to be that one community that deserves all the respect from everyone.
The administration in OC is perfect, when something needs handled it's different to any other community, they think of the players first and not themselves.
I'm glad I'm with this community and that I donated my money to them in which I might plan to do again.
