| Just curious what the forum thinks of DC's possible decision to abandon the map.

| I just thought that since i dont wanna really want to work on the map, I might as well make it open source and people can do whatever they want with it like waugriff did after a mediocre update.

| Bububububut! At least with you, we know we get quality over quantity, and not some random retard that adds tons of bugs, cheats, OP stuff and cheated items like most other RPG's experience...

| If I had the time/patience/know how, I would gladly take over, though I think it should remain closed source or die if no one steps up. Like Zerynax, quality over quantity.

| Quote (Zerynax) not some random retard that adds tons of cheats, OP stuff and cheated items 1. Is against DC's mapping spirit. 2. Could be within reason, and to some that's basically everything DC's added, but OP vs OP cancels out (except when you're endgame geared against earlier bosses). 3. Any who use this lack any sense of achievement and don't understand the point of gaming.
(I removed bugs because it's not like DC's got much hope of avoiding that without actually working.)
DC, perhaps you should try doing optimizations to the map. Maybe make it more stable for JNGWEU?
Edit: Just thought I should point out I haven't put in my "vote" properly yet, but if I do, it's either going to be get over it, let someone like Alexeng take out (hopefully keeping the same track for the map), or both. (Be supervisor over Alexeng (or similar) working on the map as "Main Dev".)

| Well I haven't worked on the map in a while but i guess I will make some so-so update before the 14th... since thats when darksiders 2 comes out and i am so playing that. Anyway, the last time i edited the map I had a problem where if you picked up any item it was always bound to a player(red i think) even if you bought an item. I kinda didnt wanna go into fixing bugs again, so thats partly the reason... the partly another reason is that I made set items with abilities that weren't based off active items so I would have to copy and paste them to active item copies... meh. Dunno how to solve that bug too(the first one), guess Ill just have to disable soem code and see if itll work or not. Anyway, the new update will probably just enchanced set items with abilities and new creep type with new area with alexeng updates. I can prolly force myself to work for like 2 days... perhaps. Cus i know when the 14th comes I wont touch anything and just play darksiders, cus i loved the first one. Althoguh it may take a day for a group to make a crack for it. Again, no promises here cus of the wild card.

| Just oversee Alexeng continuing the map. Granted, we'll have to find something to motivate him....(perhaps pictures of dead ponies)...but something...

| You do notice, Alexeng, you're the only one to select it thus far. 3/3/1/0/0 is in favor of keeping it closed-source and keeping it going, either from DC or someone else acting for him.

| I've probably played any sort of CoT map longer than any of the people that has even visited this forum, considering I have still have a beta version of CoT (Like 0.93) or something, and I've played even older than that :P

| Zerynax, If I could get the HD from my old dell working the second map in my downloads folder is CoT. And that would be from like 7-8 years ago (if I'm counting right).

| Well, you're somewhat at the same stage as me then, the map folder I'm running is the same I've been running since WC3 came (Yes, WC3, not TFT)
