Enough is Enough...

[Virtual Chatot]

Enough is enough, today I received yet another complaint that I had the Lost World thread closed. Listen, I said this before and all the rest of active staff agrees with me, it was right of me to close the Lost World thread. Arcane has been unable to retrieve his files from his broken computer, and that means that all the previous work on the Lost World is gone. In light of headaches from the reputations I keep getting, I've decided to release this internal memo of the Lost World staff that Arcane sent to one of us.

But, I still haven't got my computer yet. My brother has not been able to send it out for a number of reasons, and because of complications with his life at the moment, I won't be recieving it until the summer...

I seriously can't even imagine what to do now. I have no computer to work with. I haven't been able to salvage my old data yet, because I haven't received my new computer yet.

I'm still very committed to this project, but it just seems like I have no way of putting that commitment into actual work.

So, I honestly don't have an answer. In all reality, I think it's at the point where people just need to forget about it. And if I am ever able to continue, I will, but it is obvious that nothing can be done, and that nothing can help it.

I'm really sorry man, I never wished for this to happen. I'm so frustrated with this whole thing. The day my computer took it's massive ****, I was going to update the thread, and everyone was going to get to see Viridian City, and so much more stuff about the story, and the features. I had it all planned out. And progress was just starting to take off.

Everything was going so smoothly, that when I look back at it now, it seems almost unreal. But, that is why I'm so mad about this.

...But now it just seems like everything is being stolen from me, piece by piece.

If I am able to continue working on this, I will. I've made my promise to the community, and I intend to keep it. And come this summer, when I receive my new computer, and hopefully salvage the game, things are going to be much different.


You know, the name seems kind of fitting, don't you think? "The Lost World"....

That's it, and for all you people who keep harassing my reputation inbox with complaints that I didn't have the right to close the thread, I did. I was a high-ranking member of the staff with every right to close the thread.

If Arcane is ever going to return, then so be it.
This is my final word on the matter, all messages I get about the Lost World's thread being closed will be deleted and ignored.

I really hope all that hard work didn't go to waste; it was an excellent concept.

Shame that a bunch of whiners aren't helping things, either.

This always happens to games that I believe are most promising. First Booda and Call of Latios...now this.

If anything, it inspired alot of people to make their own fangames, which is good in itself.

My god, why is it that one of the most deticated, and one of the nicest people on the board, goes through so many obstacles?
Good luck C.A., I hope it all works out for the better.

I was really looking fowred to that game, oh well...

Anyways I dont know how you put up with getting flamed every second because you are doing your job. They just have to accept it, its a 'lost world' now.

Hopefully CA will return someday. His game is the pioneer of most multi-region games in this community.

Someone's reasoning was that they couldn't discuss the game anymore...
Which doesn't make sense given the game wouldn't even be under production -_-'

Since you said everything ha stopped now and you have your rep disabled, I'm sure this issue has been resolved/forgotten.
