I only just saw this post for the first time, and you know what? I've never seen Dank run doom before. There's another one of his posts where 5 people post doom as the worst zone ever? 5 people don't run Doom currently, not because they don't like it, but because they don't know it. The zone has kept players out for years after years because it takes some SERIOUS time to actually figure out, and the people that know it are pretty secretive about it. Just because you cant find your way around a zone with only one room description doesnt mean that its a crappy zone. You're in a featureless hallway where everything looks the same and every mob tries to kill you...that's the point...its not badly described, its just confusing. Random gateways take you to random places, thats more constructive than some other zones. He put straight path as one of the best zones...its straight lines of enemies...?? seriously?! How about people learn to run the zone, figure it out, then if you don't like it, post. Posting about a zone you've only possibly helped out in but really know nothing about and bashing on it is just plain ignorant.
Why am I so b.i.t.c.h.e.y about this you might be wondering? Because I for one mapped this zone on my own without anyone's help and also did it after it was made !gate. I thought it was a great zone and a great challenge after everything else wasnt anymore. Currently Mudstud and the Shiv guys, and me and the Fusion guys are the only ones to run it. Did any of those guys post about how bad a zone it is?

To answer your question: Yes.
As for Arcadia, I feel change in the clicking-of-my-keyboard (sorry no wind here), lets get it fixed!
The players have spoken, some of the admin have spoken, the restrictions are completely out of whack, someone needs to fix this, and it doesn't involve our over worked coder, so lets get it changed.
Our coder is blasting away the stagnant air, lets get everyone else on board, lets get the people in charge of the restrictions on Arcadia to explain why the restrictions have been kept the way they are so we have both sides of the story. With this information we can begin discussing the future of Arcadia.
As per Eniac's post on how to get players back, Eniac is working his ass off, I am sure there is a lot of work being done behind the scenes, but we as players don't *see* it very often. This is something we can see, and know that the admin, not Eniac, have made happen. I am sure if the admin wanted to pass the decision down to, oh I don't know, say Arizhel and/or Tam, they would do a great job of making a great set of restrictions for us - Yay for volunteering other unsuspecting people to do work.
Just a thought, to help us *see* what is happening behind the scenes, it might be neat to have a what is currently being worked on by the admin, similar to what Eniac has created, which is a kind of 'to-do' list. Although, Sohei class revisions wasn't on that list? *poke* I am sure quite a few people are involved in that. Information is power, and that power can help us attract more players.
