Hello everyone,
LGKeiz here, I just wanted to make everyone aware of the current situation, and what has happened to LG Duelists.
Around a few weeks ago our Lead Developer Lotus started having some personal issues, me being concerned, I messaged Lotus multiple times with no response, absolutely nothing for a week straight, so after a week, I started getting irritated, so I put a message within our admin channel explaining that I wasn't sure what was going on, why he was ignoring me, and if this were how it's going to be, then I would rather end the project early before it furthers in development as I'm not here to waste my time.
At this point, we are in the middle of closed beta, so the lack of communication from him was concerning not as just a friend, but also regarding LG Duelists as a whole, as he was the lead, and originally this was his idea to begin with, after a week of silence we finally have a conversation and come to an agreement, or so I thought...
A few days later, I announced that RO was in development, not something that was supposed to be released for at least another 6 months, but just placeholders put in discord to spark interest among the existing users. This required no additional help from the GunZ side of dev, as I was personally going to handle all development unless someone showed interest.
Apparently and admittedly because I did not fully communicate this to Lotus and the admin team, they were rightfully upset with me, which I completely understood, however, Lotus took it a step further, cursed me out, and left the discord.
3 days later~ I was pinged within the Duelists admin discord channel, that Lotus only agreed to come back if I stepped down from the staff team, and other staff have been in communication with the head admin and "voted me out" due to me being "hard to work with"
At that time, I was fed up and said fuck it, deleted the discord, deleted the website, deleted the virtual machine, all source, and backups, cleared out half my friend list, and left 20 or so servers related to GunZ.
Look, I am not perfect, but I am not hard to work with, there were two incidents involving something that I did without prior approval, which was wrong of me, and I realized that and came to an agreement to make sure to communicate with the team before making further decisions, but apparently that was not enough. I put my name, my money, and my servers up for these people and this is the thanks I get, something I never really wanted to do in the first place, but did it for who I thought was a friend.
I'm done with GunZ, and I'm done with the toxic community, however, I cannot say that my entire experience has been negative, there were multiple people with whom I no longer have communication I really enjoyed talking to, including you (Jayleigh) and I hope the best for you, thank you for all that experienced LG' Duelists and best of luck to you.
