Couple things, red pals.

[Derubael]

Figured I'd post this here since I broadcasted it earlier when no one was in game.

1) GM's don't help with res's/corpse recoveries unless your corpse is rotted or you died because of server side lag. If you petitioned to have your corpse recovered because it decayed in the last ~week or so, its been pulled up at the EC/FP zoneline in east commons. Feel free to come collect your body.

2) Loot n Scoot is not a staff enforced policy. It's a player made and enforced rule. If someone is corpse camping you, you were either an asshole or they're an asshole and you should ask for retribution politely in OOC. Please do not put in a petition asking me to enforce LnS, because I'm not going to. Excessive griefing will still be dealt with (IE, corpsing someone for hours on end)'

3) Stop sharing your account info. Too many people getting stripped, and its because half the accounts on this server are open and free to whoever wants to log in and bend them over for a few pp. If you don't know someone IRL, you probably shouldn't be sharing their info. Ya'll know how this usually ends up working. Too many people getting violated and asking for an adult, when they should have been responsible and not put themselves out there to begin with'

And lastly, someone tell twainz he'd better keep his dirty little whistle clean, or i'll come over here and take it away and never give it back. Enjoy red99! <3'

twainz is free? OH HELL NO!

On #3, sometimes people are punished for this, sometimes items are given back, sometimes nothing happens, and there seems at least to us players to be no rhyme or reason to why or why not action is or is not taken. Can we get some information on this? Also, maybe we SHOULD enforce LNS, /shrug.

[Retti_]

Boxing still allowed?

[Rust1d?]

Can you comment on the xp bonus pal?

[Derubael]

The players can enforce LnS.

As far as stripping goes, it's a case by case basis. Just assume you're going to get banned if you do it, and if you are giving your account info out, just assume if you get stripped you aren't getting shit back.

**edit**

I'll ask rogean about XP tonight.

**double edit**
Derubael BROADCASTS, "Quit boxing you fucks." <--- several weeks ago.

At this point they may as well enable boxing. In any case, thanks!

what DIMENSION of pixels... size is FILESIZE like bytes to me. 150 pixels would not be very much size.

do you mean height i know you mean height. i think mine is at 150 anyway.

There is no official standpoint on this because situations vary so differently from situation to situation. If you strip/scam/be a douchebag, I will probably ban you. If you are stripped/scammed/being a douchbag, I will probably ban the person who did it and tell you you are shit out of luck.

In the cases of people being scammed, items can be returned. In some cases, they can not. That's the plain and simple answer. Not ALL scams are cut-and-dry. There are different factors that play into every scenario.

If you have been stripped, then its your own fault for trusting someone in this community of rockstar clean whistles and, as far as I am concerned, you're at fault and deserve your losses.

-------

the baseline exp bonus is still active. The EQMac exp bonus has been removed. Yes, it will "seem" like the exp bonus is gone, but thats just because the EQMac exp bonus was the heat. If you still think its bad, or not on the server, go roll an ogre SK on blue and get to level 5 then hit me up.

[vouss]

Just hit level 5 on my blue server ogre sk and I'm looking to have xp bonus on red increased.

[Eslade]

what DIMENSION of pixels... size is FILESIZE like bytes to me. 150 pixels would not be very much size.

do you mean height i know you mean height. i think mine is at 150 anyway.

~12.2 x ~12.2 = 150 pixels
Yay math.

[heartbrand]

At least on the blue server that ogre sk can get a fuckin group.

And this alas is the point that seems to be lost on the devs. At any given moment there are likely only three to five people who you could even group with in your level range, and unfortunately they're probably melees and solo classes who can't group efficiently. You could have a 10000% xp bonus and it wouldn't matter for a melee with double digit pop. The xp bonus at least gave some payoff to melees for sitting around lfg for six hours for one hour or grouping. I don't get why this is so hard for the staff to realize. I challenge the staff to roll a melee here completely untwinked and unguilded and attempt to level here.

The XP bonus is actually probably working against that person. The XP is so fast and easy that there is really very little reason for a solo capable class to go out of their way to group with a melee. If I can make 1/3 of a level in 45 mins, why run over to Guk to group with someone. As long as I just get that XP in as fast as possible, I can just easily solo the camps I may need later or farm plat to twink a melee.

You see this especially with enchanters. They are probably one of the most fun group classes in the game, but because they solo so easily, every chanter on this box just pushes straight for endgame. The more XP bonus, the more incentive for them to ignore lesser classes that would slow them down.

When XP rates were lower I would group largely out of boredom. I was not going to be rewarded with a quick level, so I might go for the reward of a gear upgrade. But again, now that I can just suck it up and blow through a level or two, I'm not likely to waste time grouping with someone who is more likely than not to both slow me down and be an adversary later on down the line.

That latter point is a deficiency of the FFA ruleset, but combined with easy XP, it pretty much insures that very little community will ever exist here. If XP was slower you would be kind of forced to enjoy the ride and take some detours. If XP was slower and you knew that Nubwarr <LFG> would still be a bro 3 months from now instead of selling out for the easy pixels, you might make a new friend. But here? Just chill in your camp and make 60 as fast as you can so you can look out for yourself.

sig change is classic.

they didnt ask, they dont care, and fuck you.

hang or die. this is eq and you're in their world now.

[SamwiseRed]

yo dawg i heard you like sigs so i put a sig right below your sig.

[Langrisserx]

lol @ mass big sigger exodus... it was always a matter of time before people tired of your bullshit giant sigs with no animations.

grow the fuck up and learn flash.

Na... I play an online game to not play a single player game.

Playing efficiently/competitively does not in any way equate to playing a single player game. You ignorantly assume that all players should value companionship(playing cooperatively across many skill levels) more highly than any of the other multiple facets of the game, none of which are remotely "single player".

What about if person steals several accounts, takes part in stripping others and then milks his former guild bank and RMTs much of said pixels while this player and others openly admit to their deeds for over half a year and, adding insult to injury, also disseminate private player information publicly on these forums?

If another was to hypothetically take offense to such crimes and delete such a persons character, should that person be permanently banned on 4 accounts while the party guilty of all the above offenses has everything restored?

Hypothetical situation of course, I did not actually have 4 accounts banned for doing this.

What did Mellow RMT? Every single item of value he got such as Shield of the Immaculate, etc., are all still on his account? He also had part ownership with Batlle in those characters. How did he "milk" the guild bank? He had THE highest DKP in the guild, he earned every single pixel.

There is an xp bonus still on red, but it is not what is was prior to the EqMac bonus.

The red xp bonus used to be a sliding scale of 100% bonus at level 1 -> 0% bonus at 50. And at some point there was added in a blanket percentage bonus on top of that for all levels. The EQMac bonus was on top of that.

When the EQMac bonus was removed on Red, it looks like it stripped out the sliding scale 100% -> 0% bonus

I went and tested lvl 1 High Elf wizards on blue and red, killing the same even con lvl 1 bats.

Blue xp = 8% per kill Red xp = 10% per kill.

So please check with Rogean again and confirm that the intent was to remove pre-existing xp bonuses on Red along with the EQMac bonus.

the scaling bonus is still insane

Yes, he tried to prank / troll me into entrapment by "selling" a fungi staff that he never ended up selling and that probably he never intended on selling. So again, what items did he RMT? I do know some people who have RMTed though and they currently wear nihilum guild tags. Would you feel justified in deleting and stripping their accounts as well?
