Has MEME magic gone too far ? Can we control this glorious force ? do we care <| sep |> SSer ' sThis can be used for something else too . <| sep |> Such a versitile threat , especially going to the hole . <| sep |> There are three factors time Nostalrius was released at a time when there were no good vanilla servers around . Rebirth was more down than up at that time , feenix was a huge disappointment and kronos was not released yet . public relations Nostalrius did a very good job here . They just knew what people wanted and what they wanted to hear . They had no bugtracker for quite some time after release for example , which turned out to be a clever decision . Nobody could check how many unfixed bugs there were and how fast the developement was . population population creates more population . It ' s like a selffulfilling prophecy . Nostalrius has a feature that allows to record and playback certain game sequences one of the hidden Nostalrius features was the ability to replay sequences of the game . This is something that was mainly used to create our videos , but never released to players . 2 t 44031 And honestly , I ' ve always suspected that they something like this to clone player actions and to fake part of the population . 20 k players , really ? And where did they all go after Nostalrius ?
