I don't know why this bothers me one bit but I really just have to let it out.
I'm sure most of you have heard about WhIpLaSh server - many of you have played it. This is a short story of the truth behind that server.
When private servers just started comign out KaNe was one of the first ones on the scene and he invited me to his ktest. I met him on mir a short time eariler because he was leaving Mir and he gave me a bunch of stuff. Well to make a really logn story short I learned all the private server stuff and began work on my own server. During this time he helped a few times and we talked alot. This lead to me sharing my Mir2 account with him. (I bet you can guess where this is going) Anyways, I had no problems and spent a good few months on the server and actaully took my time. Many servers were popping out with only a few hours work on them and I was looking to actually make a server that had hundreds of quest (new ones) and everything worked RIGHT and tons of new content. I can't even begin to say how amazing it was going to be. I had tons of new maps made (again quality ones that you would have no clue that they were not from real designers.), renamed and restated every item and added hundreds more. They were all in sets (I can't remember but I think the WhIpLaSh server you know still used ZuLu sets etc.) I could go on and on about how great I planened it to be but to put it simply it was going to blow away any server at the time. Everything was balanced and it kept the private server feel of quick leveling but not dumb quick leveling.
Anyways I had probelms with something (can't recall anymore) and sent all the files to KaNe to fix them for me. Dumb idea. A couple days later my real mir account was empty and pass changed (kane gave me pass back after a couple weeks but I lost a good 50 mil which was alot in thoes days) but worst of all he started a server named "WhIpLaSh" with my files a couple weeks later. I won't say he didn't change alot but for the most part everything was MINE. Needless to say I was pissed and logged on to it. From what I saw everyone was loving it. He claimed I could be GM but I never saw that happen. I ignored it for a while but it started to get to me when people actually took a liking to my 1/2 done server that kane rushed into play. Imagine how awsome it would ahve been if it was done. So anyways I log back on andget to talking with one of the players whos somewhat high level and I decide its time to take revenge. Like any good server maker/coder I put in a couple things someone who STOLE the server would have no idea about. There was a quest where the last part was a quest to find a coodinate and once you found it you would tele in and get one of the higher level sets. Screw the quest to get to the end - you could jsut walk righ tin if you knew where it was. So I showed this guy where it was. Of course a few peopel started popping up with this set so KaNe started asking questions and I showed him what I did. He took that quest out and banned me. Little does or did he know I still have a few more things that are actually coded into parts of the files or even little lines that I threw in for the NPCs.
Sorry about the long read (if you read it ) but I just want to get that out because it was frustrating. Yes - I was a moron for letting someone take files and have my account password but we all make mistakes right? Don't idolize KaNe for something he didn't have 1/2 the brain to create.
I'm not sure why I even care.
And just as a side note I don't want to sound like I am better than any of you. I have been out for the game for a couple years now and I have no idea what mir 1.9 or 2.3 is. The point is at the time there was nothing that could compete (if I finsihed) with WhIpLaSh server. Many innovative ideas were used in that server from me... but all to be stolen and credit taken away.
I'm sure some of you are friends with him and will call this bs but I have proof. I have the original files, plans, databases, maps, etc. You know what the worst part of everything is and yet its the biggest proof? My second chara on mir is named WhIpLaSh and it was created when Euro mir 2 started.
Yet again I have nothing to gain or lose from posting this I just wanted to tell someone. =) This isn't my original screen name.
I made a short attempt to launch a server named VeXaTiOn and got a good start but lack of interest killed it.
GL everyone and I wish you all (except KaNe) well.
Trust no one.
-WhIpLaSh (the real one)
ps I feel this would be the best forum for this post as it pertains more to backstabbing than server.
pps Anyone associated with WhIpLaSh server in the past isn't guilty of anything as I am sure KaNe never told anyone where he got the files.
