Farmerstory v75/v83

Let's start with a famous server known as Farmerstory, formly named SydneyMS.

This was the first “popular” server I’ve joined. It was number 2 in the gametop100 rankings when I first saw it (currently number 22). Why the sudden plummet in numbers? I’m not sure myself when this happened, but maybe my point of view may clear things up.

Positives:
-FMS is VERY unique. I really mean it. It was the first server I’ve joined to present to me the option of occupations. There were a variety of occupations to choose from such as Gamer, Gambler, NX wh—e, Homeless, Suck-up, Hunter, and so on so forth.
-Every NPC needed was located all in Henesys (with a handy command @henesys). It completely replaced the FM for the coolest place to hang out!
-The chicken system was also a first too, where the whole server basically fueled on chicken economy. It made mesos seem worthless. After all, one chicken was nearly the max amount of mesos.
-The things that could’ve been done were unlimited, too. What was pretty famous around FMS that I’ve also haven’t seen is the introduction of FASHION SHOWS. Where a small group of players or a guild holds an “event” in the free market or Maya’s house. Then, they gather a sufficient amount of people and announce a theme. The ones participating change into outfits that correspond with the theme and are then judged by the hosts. If they pass with the “passing” amount of points, they move on. If not, they are disqualified. The prizes would be very high, making it both easy and difficult to get chickens.
-UFJ. Enough said.
My overall best positive input on this is that this server is definitely NOT GMS. It always updates with new imputs!

Negatives:
-DRAMA. Everywhere. Every day. There’s always a fight over something basically useless.
-Abusers. You ever had those people who are bored and ALWAYS seem to want to screw around with you? Yeah, this server is loaded with those type of people. In fact, because of a NX wh—re skill with bombing and skills, me and my friends have been randomly bombed and killed multiple times for no apparent reason. It’s stupid and annoying. Along with bombers, comes cloners. Those who clone make multiples of them and then use skills. The LAGG is intense and at some point, I was forced to leave the game.
-Sometimes the community isn’t so great. You’re not sure who is who and if you can trust anyone.
-You never really see the GMs in action. It’s rare when they host an event. They never seem to really do much besides hanging with their “friends”. Every time I see a GM pop up, they come and sit next to their friend and chat. It seems like the autoban machine works harder than the GMs. I’m not sure if they work undercover or something or not announce their bans. Point is, I never see them help out.
-Popularity contest. Yeah, it’s real here. The only thing that makes you “cool” is if you know a GM. Which, I find lame. I’ve witnessed people who were nobodies become someone “cool” after making friends with a GM.
My main negative point is that overtime, the server gets really boring. It’s the same thing every day and you will have nothing to do. I guess you can go make more friends because of the massive amount of players, but like I stated before you need to be careful of who is who. Sometimes people even ignore you because they think they’re that awesome.

Lame.
