Dear community! 

I hope you’re sleeping soundly, tucked in in your beds. Because I haven't been sleeping since Elysium launched.

Do you know what it's like to run a private game server?

This job is tougher than raising a fucking toddler. You can't go anywhere, you just don't have the time for your family, your friends or a job. Why? Because the entire time you are trying to take care of it, it’s trying to kill itself.

Each morning starts with a fascinating read of Discord messages. If there's a lot, you know some sort of bullshit is here to start your day.

I've got something to tell all the people who've been raising all the fucking drama around the project:

I AM FUCKING DONE WITH YOUR HYPOCRISY. You want transparency? You gonna get it.

I'm not going to try and talk myself out of the rumours, nor will I write any damage control posts in order to smooth out the situation. Because the rumours are not true. I won't let my community managers lie and try not to offend anyone. Because what's being passed around isn't true.

Elysium hasn't sold a single coin.

For some fucking reason you think we bathe in money, but that's not true. We barely get enough donations to host the servers. On a financial announcement day we might get a month's worth of donations, but on a slow day we get between 15 and 20 dollars, or maybe nothing.

Now, onto the main part.

From this moment on I won't let anyone shittalk my team. I know Vitaliy made some mistakes like his joke in the Chinese chat, but he's a man who's been spending all his free time on the project, being torn between his job, his family and our servers. And I also know he hasn't sold a single coin.

Sure, he used to run a commercial project, but when Elysium launched, all the transactions stopped.

I know Vitaliy is an honest man. Sure, we've had our differences, but those weren't money-related.Together we started this project.. His little server helped us create a huge, strong and beautiful project. He might not be very active as a project manager, but he cares about you assholes. He's the one who's been defending players' right to their characters during the Nostalrius drama.

I know we have a team full of amazing people who wouldn't spend so much time on the project if they didn't hold the same principles at heart as I do. I know how much time our volunteers spend on providing you with a comfortable gaming experience.

From this moment on I'm done grovelling and making excuses for every misstep we make. You either trust us or fuck off. Have some respect for people who spend their free time on the game you play. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single server you could play on. I've put so much effort into this project it matters more to me than anything else, but I won't put you gossiping fucks before my partner.

It's sad for me to see our dream of an LGN being torn apart before we could accomplish anything. We wanted to change the private emulation scene, but you've ruined everything. Now, reap what you've sown.

I want to thank my team which still trust me and support me no matter what. You guys are amazing. I love you all.

PS Alex, you're a lazy, dumb, useless cunt.

PPS Sorry, Mesh. Thank you for everything you’ve done for project. 

PPPS Gurky (as in twinstar Gurky) aka mr_Legacy go fuck yourself you useless piece of shit. Keep trying to hamper our projects, your shitty dying money machine is dead anyway no matter what you do.

PPPPS Legacy that, Legacy this, fuck you. We will keep this fucking project running till the end of the world so you could play and enjoy the game I love so much.
