If a kids pet dies, it dies. No matter how much he comes crying to his parents that he wants them to revive his Poochie, Poochie cannot be revived. All they can do is buy him a new pet to replace Poochie, but he doesn't want to. So whenever they are out, he screams at the top of his lungs that he wants Poochie back and that they are horrible because they don't want to bring it up. And he decided that there is no proof that Poochie cannot be revived and that they are just lying.

As a bystander, even though I'm not the one directly affected by it, after some point if I came across that kid and his parents often enough I'd get pissed. Not because the kid got a problem that, to him, is huge, but because he cannot understand the fact of the matter being impossible.


Balmung is locked due to server limitations. It is IMPOSSIBLE to solve, except by completely scrapping the server, transfer data from it to a much "fiercer beast" and run that up. But not only are there inherent technological limitations to that, it also costs a WHOLE lot. At the point that we're talking about, 10% increase in performance can increase the cost by 50% or more. Way more. It is far more efficient to just buy multiple other servers to share the burden.

As such, it's not that the original poster have a problem. It's about him being part of the problem. He may not mean it and no one told him that...but that doesn't change the fact.
