There was a reason for foundation of Hercules, and I am pretty sure, if you search , you will get quite a few topic on it.
RMS: maybe?Most of what happened with Cookie on rAthena happened on Skype and IRC
on an old machine, and at the time my conversations took place with him,
I didn't think to screenshot or save any logs, so all you'd have is my
word. Take it with however many grains of salt as you wish.
In short, an abbreviated timeline:
* Cookie contacts me and pressures me to fire Ind and replace with Cookie, I decline
* Cookie and Maki team up and Cookie is hired, with my reluctant support.
*
We warm up to Cookie, Cookie recommends to Maki that Ind be released
(because "Jman won't listen to my bright ideas, Ind is poison to
rAthena, he doesn't know how to lead, is a crappy developer, etc etc"),
dumbly I agree and Ind is removed of permissions and stripped of powers.
*
A few days later I try to get Cookie to change his mind about Ind, and
none of the staff is with me because they all support the all high and
mighty Cookie
* Cookie requests donation Paypal access and I decline,
multiple times. Cookie then (I assume) convinces the staff I'm poison
to rAthena. A bunch of drama surrounding my favoritism towards Ind and
keeping the original team together ensues (original team being Maki,
BrianL, Ind and myself), and to prevent further drama, I resign.
I'm
not sure what exactly happened around Cookie after I left, if he
received his donation access or why he quit. Lately I had been trying to
mend the relationship I used to have with Maki and/or Brian, but
unfortunately they've not been around at all on rAthena or their IRC to
speak with. Seems Akkarin is running the show, but just barely.
Oh, and hello yC. Long time no talk.
Oh, that's really sad. Blindly following kRO is just stupid. How many GREAT or atleast GOOD 1x/1x/1x do you see now-a-days? with plenty of online(100+)? I don't see any, EVERY server is using custom things. Like why would you blindly follow kRO, iRO if there's actually no point in doing that? Actually creating new things is much more excitingRMS: maybe?Most of what happened with Cookie on rAthena happened on Skype and IRC

but I'm not blindly implementing formulas from kRO..FYI kRO has 0 bots and having 1.5k players and 3k at peak time...and if there is no point mimicking official then there is no point in developing emulators..and its very stupid to think what you are pointing, its like saying you devs are useless at all..
