I agree. its can be realy difficult to move up from newbiness, especialy if u dont have any connections with more pro players. I disagree,I think that makes it fun,Hyperspace was my first zone as a newbie to all of this, and it was exiting. Of course, I did have help (thx shrop) and that did help, but you have to work for good things. That make the zone even more awesome IMO. I'm not very interested in this topic but I've read this to see what it's about.. My opinion would go along the lines of Sharpflames. But in some kind of way (not a lot) agree with Bomook about being newb-friendly. The thing was, you needed to be pushed to improve your skills, to make friends, and to earn your status/reputation. I was pushed and put down my BrickWarp, keyword being pushed. I improved my skills a lot more than I could have imagined.. lol. And gained status/rep. Although as I became a mod everyone accused every little thing as abusing .. but I wasn't surprised lol, all mods basically get the same treatment.. I would know considering I was one to help out with that part of things . Anyways, enough bout me, Hyperspace was great for many reasons and as far as I can see there can never be a duplicate or something much better. I don't know Dr Brain's view's on it or the staff's view's but I found HS pretty fun and it was there to entertain me when I was bored in spare time. It, for sure was addicting and the people we met, were just amazing... A fantastic experience and can't wait til it gets back up.
