Game over

R.I.P. BatMUD Tools by Tumi, 2001 - 2006.

It has come a time for someone else to step up, do some hard work and spend hours, days, months to improve others game experience. I've done my part, received some thank you's, some donations, but mostly, I just got whined at, spammed at etcetc disrespect that I wouldn't hope for anyone. I don't NEED to take that, so I chose not to. If my stuff was so shitty, make better ones yourself, ffs.

The last excuse for doing so was gone by Juggelo's tiny reminder that "oh btw, rebirth exp counts towards pool, you don't deserve that". FFS, the power hour and exp pool was ABOUT INFREQUENT PLAYING, not having 150m. Well, it wasn't the top reason, but just the final nail to the coffin. I've managed to grind some 3-4m a week with the pool, now a meg or two a week just isn't worth it, at least for a reincaddict like me. Gather all the tiny bits here and there and I end up to conclusion that the game no longer has nothing to offer me, and thus, there is no point in wasting time and resources for stuff that no longer matter to me.

And no, I won't be giving out any of my work to you, make your own. Most of you didn't bother helping, so I'm not helping you either. And no, I could not just let it be on the site, since the thing I HATE the most is deprecated sites that display false/outdated information and so on. That'd generate even more bullshit to me, let it be thru intermud tells, forwarded mud mails or whatever.

So, apologies and thank yous to the few who deserve it (you know who you are) and a small or large, depending who you are, FUCK YOU, to the rest. Keep it cool, be safe and the usual shit. None of this probably get thru to those pricks who caused this, but hey, I tried.

Sincerely, Tumi

PS. I also think that MUDs (not just bat, more or less all) are on a neverending spiral of doom, and thus there is no point to waste more of precious RL time to them. As pointed by several players, all the players are more or less highbies now, cynical minmaxers etc, who don't need or deserve free favors.

PPS. The comments on what I did on the news reflect perfectly the attitude of players of Bat. I see couple who understand the bigger picture, and a shitload of those who don't, who then dare to judge me for not giving them free suffeli and are instantly looking for to abuse anything recoverable. People "piss on me", call me childish and what not, but barely see their own nose, if even that. I'd rather call them childish, but hey, it doesn't matter a bit, since they can't see it even if someone rubbed it on their face.

PPPS. And no, I did not quit because "I did not get my way" or because "I wanna cause Bat to collapse". I don't wanna see Bat collapse, and it won't collapse over this. Just a fansite gone away, should be no biggie. Its LIKELY this will be a BOOST to the mud in general as people awake that everything isn't for granted, and comes for free. The same stuff will appear sooner or later again.
