Well when you take a step back and look at it, we could have gotten the Vista fixes and the RSI captures and that's it. At the very least people who've wanted a white area k or black headgear for ages can now get them. Anything other then that, no matter how small, boring, not worth it or seemingly insignificant to some people is simply an added extra.

It wasn't an epic update neither was it a great update (unless you were inflicted by the Vista issues or a Zionite inflicted by Agents) and I'm not trying to say it is, but it was never alluded to be a great update anyway. Shame about the Ad space for rent signs still being around though.

What were people expecting, seriously?

Me? I like the items. They're a nice little addition and the collector, his name, and text, are all very fitting.

Now we wait to see what the Walrus has to say about the future of development.

Edit: Oh yeah, and fix the ad space for rent thing.

Fixed.

The new items were part of Rare's vet rewards idea from what he said at the farewell party.  He decided in the end (in addition to his departure no doubt) to release them to the whole community.

While I am disappointed, I'm working on the new clothes.  I was expecting more, but what can you do?

I guess in the end we shouldn't have expected much from someone who never gave us much.

The question now is how many people will continue to defend him, blissfully unaware that he flipped them the proverbial bird, as he left.

The Omega, i.e., the End? As in, the end of his tenure here? Or were you thinking that he was thinking "I am Alpha and Omega, I was god of this place for a long while, bwahahaha?"

I would think it was the first one, but that's just me.

Wrong on both counts.  Named after the Treehouse of Horror segment "The Homega Man."

You know its funny.  First when Rarebit leaves everyone gushes all over him like he was some kind of perfect saint.

Now watch, as old resentments come out he'll be demonized (truth be told he warrants some of it.....I saw this coming to a bad end months ago).

The truth is, he did some great things for the game, and did some really sh1tty things for the game.  And Oh Ho I can really let myself get carried away with the latter if I let myself, but I won't.   Whats the point?

Like most people, did some brilliant things, did some boneheaded things.

As they say, "It is what it is."

I didn't.

I said goodbye.  Goodbye is neither positive nor negative in nature, so yeah.

But yeah, I agree with you...  *shrug*

I love the update thanks rarebit.

So...SOE, it's okay for us to have a collector standing around in game that's named after GOD but I get reported for having my character named YAHWEH? Seriously? This is a huge slap in the face after everything I've fought for.

SOE, I'm out. Good riddance.

   "Omega" is the last letter in the Greek alphabet.

Right you are!  Give that man a cookie for bringing in some truth!

I know it's easy to overlook little details, so I'll just point one out in the specific text I posted that this thread is reacting to, since a few people here seem to be getting a wee bit carried away by the various amusing comments being made:

"including a few little items that will remain secret"

Emphasis by Rarebit.

Just what in Christ's name were you people expecting? Rarebit has quit his job. He didn't have to do anything, so you should be grateful for anything extra he added to this update.

I just got pwned by pacman(atleast, I think I did). Your picture is too fooking big. Dang dude....

And....Othinn, your one heck of a genius. I did not know Omega was the last letter of the greek alphabet. Considering that is what GOD is!!!
