Serious The Downfall of WW3RP: From the perspective of one of the common folk

[Rabid]

WW3's main problem was it was built around trying to entertain a playerbase that literally hadn't needed to grow the same way other parts of the community had and who, if the project failed, would be happy quitting again to go do something else on a dime. There was little interest in making it 'work' outside of the very core part of the playerbase when things went wrong (as happened with Stasiland).

So whereas people who stuck around for HL2RP and other stuff generally grew and changed with the expectations of the community at large, your average returning WW3 player hadn't. It was like they'd stepped out of stasis after 4-6 years away, shitty habits and attitudes included.

It wasn’t built around that lmao

WW3RPs problem was trying to maintain the old formula (which is garbage and provides nothing of value) while also trying to go a drastically new direction

Both came out half-baked and none were good enough

tbf the fact that every WW3RP player was like a russian sleeper agent that went catatonic when the server wasn't around and then spontaneously re-emerged from cyrosleep at the slightest inkling of WW3RP was fucking hilarious

Out of all the WW3RP players, most of the people who came back for it were people who shouldn’t have

💀 💀 💀 💀 WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE
and then he gets given lead of some very influential division and uses it to undermine the server

The Nebulous.cloud experience is being told you are bad for not instantly trusting someone who abused the fuck out of their position previously because an arbitrary amount of time has passed since then.

And then when they invariably laugh about doing it again on the way out of the door three months later you must act like nobody could have seen this coming.

alf versus milrems at home:

not sure, don't think I was there for the 2016 one. I don't think they were nazis in this iteration though, but I could be wrong. I just remember the los chicos blancos - milrem - alf rivalry
