What happen with people who plays in pvgn servers like tarreo, i think that is better to make groups since round 1 and post in the page so ppl know what game are going to join.....
On Tarreo the bot stays in channel "FFA"
I suggest Tarreo players stay in that channel to see the game starting.
Same for eurobattle.net players, rubattle.net players...
@hunger : there is nothing to worry about. you will judge on the final result, give it time
Also, what was sudden for you was not for everyone. I said I thought I did my time because i felt like league work was too routine for me and I wanted to move on something else.
FML is FFA at the most competitive level but I am working on a different field. Since I started the bot, more than 30000 different players played on the bot. my objective is to get to a result close to what bnet was offering for those guys, with more options. Nothing is being split : you will follow fml, compete in league and tournament and also play on bot (I hope!).
S16 final / S17 are coming, the 300$ cup also, and soon enough you will notice many upgrades on the bot. There are a lot of things to be excited about for all ffa players!
I have been FML admin for a long time and I really loved it. The community is so great, I know some of you for 8 years now : it always motivated me to do more and better for the community. :)
I felt like I did my time in FML : other admins could do as much and maybe more than I did about the league while at the same time, the bot required more attention.
Running both projects was too time consuming, I could not focus enough on the bot and it frustrated me. There is much more to be done, and that will be done now that I will have more time to do it.
The separation from FML was necessary so like renaud wisely said, I would have been contacted about the league over and over and needed to move on other projects.
The bot has been renamed to avoid confusion. It changed its hosting channel too in the sole purpose of attracting new players. I am just looking for room where a lot of players are hanging in, in a clan I believe has a good reputation. Dix suited the purpose (kodos promotes the bot a lot and there are always 15 people in it), Clan Vow is now doing the same on Lordaeron. Anything to improve the bot activity is important.
Of course no clan would like to have a bot with another clan Tag. That's why its renamed Ugri-Host. Also it gives me liberty to change clan easily on any realm (if a clan disbands or starts to hane no activity for example).
Game names have been simplified too : playffa #1 is faster to type and recall our ladder website name.
Our new website (playffa.com - please check it out and register w/e you can) will deal with anything related to the bot (ladder season, report errors, report hackers, small ragnarok like event). I feel like the bot need more visibility and a website should be strongly built around the ladder site directly. There were new design I wanted to implement and new options I want to try to set up. That's why this part has been separated from ffamasters.net. Big thanks to Neo-geo, we are working basically all our free time on this in order to have a brand new platform ready for ladder season two (should start on november 2nd).
From now on, any request about admin rights / maps / reports must be done there. I need to get those things centralized.
playffa.com has no objective to concurrence ffamasters.net. Its objective is to basically replace battle.net in most of its aspects. playffa.com will work hand to hand with ffamasters.net on ponctual events when needed.
Time is running out, I will leave the in less than a year for a destination I shall not have such liberty to work with the ffa comunity. I need to put all my efforts to produce the best product possible now for ffa ladder fans for years to come.
I want to thank you all for the nice feedbacks you gave me since I started the bot projects : only this keeps me sharp and motivated to try to do always better.
