Lol, the veteran badge means nothing, it was literally Givin out to 95 percent who applied.
what happened to the ex-staff title? Just curious.
No idea it was supposed to be somewhat converted to the veteran title. Veteran being someone who did something of significance for the game itself (i.e the vote topics that JT made which was a fantastic idea, where all staff members voted and if it wasn't unanimous or pretty dang close to unanimous they wouldn't get the title.). Ex staff certainly falls into that category. People who log in every once in a while and post stuff on the forums every month or so or quit for extended amounts of time and come back certainly didn't do anything for the game.
ouch, i'm applying lotion to the burn currently don't worry.
P.S. although I was gone for extended periods of time during my last few months of having staff, I would like to say that I did everything in my willpower to try and get you guys to work on stuff. I myself was on this game every day for long long hours every week before then and would try to help any and every player I could. Although I didn't have to, I spent days helping push out that Christmas event because I knew that's what the community really wanted.... I told you guys what would happen if each situation were to occur and you guys went along and did it anyways. I said several times that people would be dissppointed in several updates if they were pushed out (even though Ryan did do a lot of work), but people want to see the content, not have it sitting in the background for "future updates". I created multiple quests that to this day was never used and got over a hundred dialogues that TO THIS DAY still haven't been put in. It may seem like I didn't do much, but I did well beyond my job in what I was required to do. Hell even the advertisement that me and Petter worked on for literally weeks, never was used. We put a lot of work into that ad as well..... So yeah I guess you could go ahead and say that I didn't do anything for the game, but in my eyes I did a hell of a lot more than what was expected out of me and went beyond my job to at the very least attempt in putting this game on the right track. Sorry for the little rant but to say I didn't do anything for the game is blasphemy.
