Why no advertising for Velious Release? GM Events? Quests?

[MEGANS LAW]

What is going on bros? Kunark release had tons of autism spread across Norrath with GM events, exp bonuses, etc etc.

Why is Velious not even receiving any GM fanfare?

Is it being delayed again?

DID I FUCKING TAKE VACATION AGAIN FOR IT TO BE DELAYED???

Don't think anyone after me has really understood the value of regular GM events.

[Kergan]

I think Derubael tried one and it went so poorly due to the r99 community his brain literally turned to butter that night.

Wish Red had gm events.

I remember telling him I wouldn't be allowing anyone in the zone and that we also would not engage his GM mob. He threatened to ban me.

[Tassador]

Rogean the genius is going to retro kunark + items acquired and make this a classic server that will progress to kunark and then velious.

No one did them as well as you did.

It was maybe your defining moment as a pillar of the r99 troll community - a GM went insane.

Well done.

what happened to eunomia sir

[magician]

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR QUEEN

[MEGANS LAW]

It's really sad.

People have applied to be GM's or at least GUIDES for years with nobody even speaking to them.

Eunomia's banned. Derubael's implicated in an RMT scheme and gone. Sirkorsky exclusively trolls forums for slight infractions. Sirken's been taking a well-deserved vacation. Rogean is distant from Red. Nilbog is a developer. I see Aussie now and then but his playtime is caput.

Really atm, Red99 has almost no customer support or avenue to discuss anything with anybody in charge of anything.

Staff does a good job but they just aren't on enough/take new guides to replace losing ones.

his gm event was asking everyone on the server to be pals for the night and kill some big mob in DC together..

i can't imagine he was actually stupid enough to think that would go over well? or was he?

If it he thought it would work or not really isn't the issue. It's the fact it was a GM event on the PVP server that penalized people for PVP.

Sir what is the status of your main characters??? I do say this staff has an impeccable credit to the consumer of Everquest emulations. It is you guys who are the unstable minds that roam in such ways that hinder the adult mind. It is you who has ruined your lands and will not ruin mine.

[Samsung]

We need gm events badly. Start giving out kunark items that won't mean much in velious as rewards. Also there was a major event from kunark to velious i thought?

I, for one, am forever scarred by a GM event.

Anyone from SZ remember when the GM's gave this item to a 20 something ranger who quit within a month?

[vouss]

Derubaels event was a lot of fun, I would consider it a huge success

Should do double exp weekend with constant fm events the weekend before launch.

They ran those TV commercials about it, and that big radio campaign. Don't forget the leaflets they dropped from the Space Shuttle, and the 2 weeks we all spent in 'velious release' camp.

I agree with this. Last time a successful GM event went down the grandmaster logged in and went from level 1 noob to the best 60 on the server and has been slaying nerds ever since.

Threatened to ban you? That's not very imaginative for someone in charge of a custom event. He shoulda ran the event and had his mob chase down, kill, and corpse camp you in a RP-PVP event, and then handed out goodies to everyone who assisted in the process.

[awfal]

They're emulating classic bro.

Would find a GM on original RZ once in a blue moon; also were far less GM events than blue servers.

[Kergan]

Now that I think about it, nothing is more r99 than shitting up a GM event so badly that a staff member instantly develops stage 3 asbergers and is removed from the project shortly after.

[magician]

**uncontrolable laughter ensues**

jk

cringing

[Vile]

guys didn't get memo? velious launch = servers wipe and classic timeline to velious.

[BardPop]

Hmm chronoburn you bring up a good point, how can this server be really classic if there are no gm events giving out those sorts of items here? I'd say maybe nix oakywynd just for balance issues in pvp but if we really want to be classic we should give out some of these classic gm event items in old gym event style. The code for the items is here and they can granted by the staff, I think it would be great to see people winning one per server events like that. I don't remember what the ranger did to win that bp, do you remember?

[Ella`Ella]

Don't think any single GM after you has the power and access to run GM events the way you did.

[Doors]

Man I'll never forget the GM event you threw in Qeynos hills for people under level 30 or so. Literally the funnest shit ever.

GMs are literally confined to CSR and answering petitions now and nothing else. It sucks.

[jibekn]

my favorite hack is when i just push Q on my keyboard and it procs a tstaff effect.

[wts]

They're trying to lay low because they know DBG is this close to pulling the plug. Just need a little more publicity for real narco trading and it's a done deal.

[Uthgaard]

That just comes with doing events. You have to be good at managing shit that goes wrong. I accidentally encumbered a zone full of gfay noobs with several million copper on accident once while trying to give everyone 100pp.

Don't think any single GM after you has the power and access to run GM events the way you did.

Yeah they don't, and probably won't. You need access to run perl scripts in realtime to do a lot of that stuff, so besides all of the crazy shit you can do with it, you also have to have some development knowledge. IDK though, you can cause a lot of harm with enough motive and creativity with far less access. Refer to more recent history. Worst I did was make a Xzerion clone in EC that dropped an earring of sad exploitation, which no one could equip, and didn't even call him out by name.

Or the zerglings. Lesson learned from that event: people don't know what they want. Asked for high hp mob, bitched about 25 minute fight. Someone should meme that.

Nilbog has said he wouldn't be opposed to me running some events in the future but who knows what kind of freedom they'd let me have to make it what it could be.

People always gonna bitch

Hackanon was a fun event.

[Uuruk]

I wouldn't mind uth back maybe he can give TMO red members instant 60's this time instead of on blue.

[Uthgaard]

Doubtful, since character sales aren't allowed now, and that "instant 60" was a purchase out of my play character's personal funds. 2/10, troll smarter not harder

I think it was a Halloween scavenger hunt in one of the Karanas.

Should do a GM event to see who can kill Nexona the fastest.

I miss the Uthgaard era and I wasn't even there for it. Sounds like you were the "Last of the Mohicans", or last real GM. No offense to other staff, we just miss being able to have full blown Epic GM events like on Classic 1999-2004 Era.

It looks like the powers that Uthgaard had made for some very fun events. And that Uthgaard really recreated that "Epic GM Event" feel on a few occasions. I read recently in another post that the GM staff since Derubael is basically "neutered" to CSR only.

The only way anyone would get a GM event is with Rogean or Nilbog personally executing it themselves, and they are busy with other roles irl and on this project...So I guess that means never unless we started applying gentle pressure on nilbog on the forums to allow Uthgaard to take another swing at it.
