I am leaving - for real now

[avirox]

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the project, div0. Without you, Nexuiz wouldn't be the same game that it is now, and I've played every build since the early alpha ones - your work has been by far the greatest contribution to the project since its release. It's great to know that there are people in the online community who are willing to dedicate themselves to a free project, and to the rest of the community.
Now I must work on torturing m0rfar.. mwahahah..

Hi div,

I want to express my deep sadness about your decision:
But: I understand your reasons.

For your future projects, work and life I send you the best wishes.

If I had the ability (and time) to help with development, I would be glad to help - but ... well none of them is available for me (especially not the necessary coding skills).

But: I'm a professional systems administrator (mostly linux). If I can help with that, I would love to.

Regards,
Zyan K Lee

Sad to hear that you wanna stop coding divverent. The work you have done for nexuiz is just awesome, as the game is (the only 3dshooter I played next to Quake!). I wish you the best!

Damn.. can't believe I didn't see this topic earlier Anyway since it's been revived I guess I can say a few things even if a few months have passed since this was discussed.

I'm not exaggerating when I say Nexuiz is one of the very best free shooters out there. From what I seen Div has gotten all of it started together with other devs, and has put effort to make this game of an incredible quality for something non-commercial and open source which I never thought I'd see in a free game. It would be totally sad to see him go after all this time and progress though I still see Div committing to SVN daily so I hope things have gotten better since last time.

I should probably apologize to Div here since I was one of the people who bugged him about several things and complained about some of the recent changes in the game (sorry to esteel as well for bugging him with the mod button thing so much ). I didn't know the situation was so bad and everything started going downhill so much around here.

About the community not being as nice as before: As it has a lot of features and is very well made, this game is becoming more popular over the time and attracting users from all over the place. As the community grows it becomes impossible to have everyone be nice and have a warm and welcoming atmosphere on public servers, since all kinds of people are joining now. Its the price that must be payed for being popular sooner or later. Never the less we can still make our own servers for the IRC community and the nice people so not all is lost

Onto wanting to leave because of the sadness / stress: As I said in another topic, I think one of the most important things is that no one does anything while feeling forced to. It's not necessary that someone develops daily if they don't feel like it or are not feeling well sometime. It's good to take a brake for a few days, weeks or months if you need to, or just do something when you feel like it only. As for the lack of developers I still make patches and plan on continuing to even if I'm not so active. I think it's best if we all take everything easily and with time

Thanks for the awesome game Div. Hopefully some more of us will get on board and help keep this going.

divVerent -- You will be missed...

I have been in and out of here "from the start" (this is not true) And I have not seen so mush of the hateful attitudes... may be because I am only in and out now and then...

But if it is true, then it is the suxxors, this game is BY the Community For the Community, and if parts of the Community is dushe-bags then they need to leave.

The games need to learn to respect the devs, admins and each other, how are doing this on there free time, with no pay, except for the pride they truly disserv.

This games is the epiphany of team work, community, and love.... and for some idiots to wreck it is not exeptibul...

/me wishes divVerent a happy life, W/O the stress of Alientrap.

maybe some1 should tell them the truth.

If you want to discover the truth, do this:
open http://svn.icculus.org/nexuiz/branches/?view=log, use eyes, then brain, then smile

[divVerent]

Well, I no longer do requested features. That time is OVER.

BTW, look who's ripped off my forum signature idea. I bet he'll rip off the automatic youtube uploads soon too.
