Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
@SqeakyClean I feel that’s spot on…
-
@Wizz That’s the long and short of it, yes.
Sumi’s @doing tagline used to read ‘Talk drek, get rekt.’
Bullying new players is how Clan Kora gets its jollies.

Cujo plays Din Djarin as well.
I’m not surprised… I’m just disappointed.

You know. On the flip side. With as many people that are run off by AoA being so poorly run, the harassment (Sexual or otherwise) and the cringiest of cringies that is Hadrix…
Just imagine. Just for a moment. If the game was run well. Just how popular, how many people would be on. It’d be like a 150 char a night game.
Of course now with the loss of staples like mudconnect.com and mudstats.com - it’s a bit harder to find a central hub for games. Unfortunately AoA is still on mudconnect (or the hull that is still there of it) and unwitting players will stumble upon it.

NGL the thing I’m trying to wrap my head around is this pile of refuse passing as a game not having a WORA/MSB thread prior to this.
I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-byeShe/Her or They/Them

Lacking a very widely-known central hub for the hobby is both a blessing and a curse.

I have to admit, with the exception of a couple of people who went out of their way to be friendly and provide some nice scenes, I had such a uniquely horrible time there that ended so horrendously, I was this close to opening this particular can of worms myself last year. But I was so extremely burnt out by the experience I just bounced entirely for a while… aaaaaand then The Derpening happened while I was gone and it just didn’t seem worth it to dig all that back up again.
It’s probably not that surprising given how often I’ve posted in this thread that watching this whole thing go nuclear has been a bit cathartic, lol.
-
@Wizz I suspect more newbies than we will EVER know about had a similarly horrible experience there, whether immediately or much later.

This.
I was puzzling with Zephyr why I didn’t say something when I left the last time, but I think I just couldn’t go through rehashing everything.

I almost didn’t for similar reasons. Not having all that noise is so nice once you’re gone, and talking about it feels like inviting it back in.
-
Trauma is a shitty, shitty fucking drug. That’s why we didn’t get a thread before. And I’m really fucking sorry that the community has taken this long to get to a place where at least people feel like they can talk about it. So everybody can pat themselves on the back at least once for that shit.
-
@Third-Eye I’ll blame part of it on the game collapsing in 2011 with a regular logon of like… 10 people, and this was after Cujo gave the game to another headwiz to make Shadow of Fear, I think? Not a lot of people active to harass.
Then when they re-opened for Ep 7, people were hankering for sequel stuff and overlooked things. Bit that was also post-WORA, and MSB was less known? I dunno

In two weeks, this thread has become the third most popular thread of all time on BMD, even beating out the Arx thread. That means that since the birth of BMD, no other game has negatively affected MU* players as broadly or as painfully as Star Wars: Age of Alliances.
People have mentioned in this thread that Cujo seems like the kind of person to be obsessed with being the biggest and ranked at the top, so…
Congratulations Cujo, you’re finally #1 at something.
Game-runner of Silent Heaven, a small-town horror MU.

A board of women, queers, and allies reacting strongly against sexual misconduct and anti-reporting prejudice… Isn’t that how we started in the first place?
-
@Pavel Cujo’s next move - have Hadrix appointed to MSB admin. Go toe to toe with BMD.
That’s probably how his mind works too…

sigh
Update.

Cujo Commented:
To take a moment to add a bit more information to this post following a few questions asked…As of now no one has been locked out of, or sitebanned, or asked to leave the game. There have been no bannings up to this point,.
All characters that were moved to the Old Guard Lounge were done so under the belief that they had retired from the game on their own volition, and they are welcomed back at any time and simply have to request a password update. As policy here, Retired accounts are cleaned up, alts are removed to keep the game as clean as possible.Players who do not announce their retirement are cleaned up over time, and are sent to the starting starport on Nar Shaddaa, and generally left on the grid in-case they decide to return later. However, idle players belongings do get cleaned up, starting after 30 days of being away from the game, thus we encourage players who want to retain their items stay actively present on a day to day basis. If you need some time off, please submit a Vacation +request so that the Staff knows that you are going to be away from <date> to <date>, and we know to protect your inventories.
All deleted alts / characters still exist in copies of the game’s database saves, which we routinely keep dating back many years. They can still be retrieved upon requests, if the request is reviewed and approved.But, again, no one has been banned from the game. We have simply pushed cleaning processes along based on the information we were given. Anyone who leaves the game under their own volition, is welcomed back at any time they wish to return, and if not, then we wish them all the best.

This thread started 14 days ago. It is impossible for people who were active up until that time, or even since then, to have ‘idled-out’ into retirement, since Cujo himself just said it takes 30 days before they retire the character.
Furthermore. Retired characters simply have their wiki pages marked as ‘retired’/removed from the active roster. (Clarification - this may have actually been a player wiping their own page. That list of 'wiki changed, log of change removed- is still suspicious)
… Unless they were retired because of this. THOSE people got their wiki pages completely blanked out.
You aren’t even trying.
Edit to add clarification, may have been player wiping their own page.
