Oh, I recall my days as a dev. I had all kinds of powers. I could kill players, create storms, make it so foggy you could not see, then change the color of that fog to any color I wanted, along with turning the sky red. We only enacted those powers during events, though. I made black fog and red skies and stacked furniture for one Halloween, then randomly levitated players. Another time, we basically ended the world for an update. All sorts of hell went down. We had been building up to that point for weeks, dropping little hints here and there, writing massive amounts of lore that was about to be revealed, and orchestrating all sorts of 'happenstance' events. Last thing players saw before the server went down was complete black as we filled all areas with 100% black fog (blind), and a server message "Prepare for update." The community basically exploded in excitement. I was personally in change of a good portion of it. So much fun... Then, of course, the project leader who OKed it called it off after the event went down and basically undercut the entire Settings team that had worked for months to get to that point. Server went back up unchanged. The reason was never fully given. The coders said it was ready. Moral hit the fan.
