RIP General

[Prinprinkley]

^ Floof for you, I want to know if its coming back too, it had been a while since a mod posted any updates on the situation, so mods, if you see this, I'd like to have some kind of answer. (Hope not to pester you though.)

I come back from my month break (got inspiration), and people are still talking about this? Lol good luck. General is not coming back.

I'm not even going to try to remotely sugarcoat this. I'll give my two cents and leave.

I think this was an utterly atrocious move. I loved the conversations I've had on the General chat in Fluorite and justifying the removal of it with "oh, bullying idiots were clogging up the chat" is not a good reason in my opinion. Running around the map trying to catch onto a small group of people open to conversation? I find this far more intimidating, embarrassing and foolish than just yelling my two cents into a large crowd and hoping to find people that agreed with me-- if they didn't, in all of my cases, the crowd would find a different topic and leave me alone in fifteen minutes, max (unless it was something about Justin Beiber. Goodness gracious.)

It is much better for the majority of the fools bullying and spamming to be seen in broad daylight so it may be tackled by any observing mods, rather than having it confined to some unknown corner of the map at all times.

For me it's a lot easier to find friends through General, and for almost everyone else, it was certainly easier for RPs to advertise when it was up. Several people have made this point already and I could not agree with them more.


Above all else, RPs are dying out left and right because of no longer being able to advertise properly, and seeing as RP and getting people together in general IS the main goal of this game, you guys should really feel at least a little more foolish for removing General. Movies are not the solution to advertisement problems, either; as many other people have already stated, others are just spamming Movies instead of General and it is causing serious advertisers to be ignored and even looked down upon.


This change is causing FeralHeart's open, large-group RP community to crumble, and I really do not see how you guys are viewing it any differently than that. Surely you could have found some other way of stepping around removing General and weeding out the fun-killing imbeciles than THIS. Perhaps coding the game so General would be unticked on start, at the very least?

General chat made socialization infinitely easier and by removing it in public maps, you are wrecking the existence of a large portion of the community.



Sincerely,
Yet Another (Usually PEACEFUL) FeralHeart User With An Opinion

I am sorry to say, but... I have heard from Red himself that the mods don't even GLANCE at this thread anymore, so this is really all pointless. If you wish to state your opinions to a mod, your best bet is to do it in-game.

Though, I kinda understand why the mods don't look here anymore... mostly because of the fighting and crap. ~Vio

Well that's honestly not right at all, as they won't be able to see how many users are upset. Do they not want to see that part of the community is upset, and kind of push it to the back of their minds or something? Not trying to be blunt or anything as I'm usually peaceful as well, but this is just getting quite ridiculous. Ignoring the problem is not going to help at all; in fact it's going to do quite the opposite. Many members including myself are getting restless and we just want to know if there is going to be any kind of change or update at all. If it was just supposed to be a test and now they left us hanging...I don't even know what to think. It just gets me more angry and annoyed to be honest. I hope that they will indeed give this thread a look and see that so many are expressing their distastes.

What I just find odd is that feralheart was made in order to form a tight and friendly community, where members could go and interact with one another in a docile environment. So what I don't understand, is that if this whole "update" is causing such much drama, fighting, and making members so upset, why can't something be done about it? Isn't all of this kind of against the original purpose of the game? And if members didn't care about general being removed, I don't think there would be 57 pages of replies...Just....Yeah. Star out :I

@ *StarWolfie7*: That's literally the exact point I'm trying to make. Thank you. You worded it well. :[

I am extremely disappointed in the mods at this point. Especially since, going off what TheFourLinks said, they're now apparently IGNORING THIS ENTIRE THREAD?

That is pure, unadulterated IMMATURITY. There are many other, much more rude words I could have used for it, but that stuck out the most. Immaturity. IMMATURITY. IMMATURITY. IRRESPONSIBILITY!

You do not ignore the community and continue to say all is well when a giant chunk of it is practically yelling at you to fix your mistake! You are losing all of your respect, and half the community with it! Please, mods, acknowledge your mistakes and fix them! This is not worth the colossal dramatic uproar! Goodness, gracious... >:c
I might just contact them ingame about this, as was suggested, but really, I think I've wasted my time with this enough...

Ffff oh well, I kinda understand. Most of the staff members probably think all the people that dislike this change are automatically kindergarteners whining over juice-boxes. :x

[Darkoblivion]

Oh how I dislike posting on this thread again but I must say.

I agree with all of the users saying this was a rediculous notion.

And just to say a lot of people are leaving FeralHeart because of this foolish act. Remember the day that FeralHeart dies my fellows...

[gold feathers]

Maybe this is a ridiculous idea and all but the staff were only trying to help us and they only meant good. Although i don't agree with general being taken out of feral heart. I hardly go in-game any more.

[gold feathers]

Sometimes i see groups of floofs gathering near SB or bonfire and they are named general R.I.P. If only mods saw that then they would know how upset the community was.

Oh well at least we know we'll have to try harder.
