Blackburrow VS Seafuries

[rocsha]

A recent event in Blackburrow has opened my eyes to the way somethings work on this server, notably petitions for zone disruption and KSing. Whereas I have personally put in at least 6 petitions for KSing and overall asshatery at the Seafuries, only to have 0 responses mind you, the entire zone seems to be a FFA/FTE and totally lawless.

After spending 30mins to an hour in Blackburrow (for fucks sake) farming gnoll fangs with a bard friend of mine, he gets a death touch by Braknar. No "hey, what your doing is disruptive" or anything of the sort just bam, dead. So I log an epic cleric and head to rez him only to be told the guide thinks were boxing (anyone with a functioning brain can see we arent). So after we manage to prove we werent boxing, the reason changes to zone disruption... Excuse the fuck outta me? 6 people in a zone designed for upwards of 30 and we are disrupting the zone? After bringing that fact to the almightys attention, he "reminds me" that they are volunteers and says "if youre unhappy with the level of customer support i suggest you seek a refund for your subscription" .... total turd burgler comment.

New players to the server are coming to black burrow they don't need to see how fucked up the attitudes of the people that have been here for 6 years are. By the time you arrive at seafuries you already know you are a douche going to battle with other douches.
Prove your discontent by logging off permanently instead of staff bashing.

[rocsha]

might as well let the kiddies learn quickly

[Pokesan]

it's a generic blanket statement used to shut down any criticism of the staff.

you ingrate

[fan D]

you are farming black burrow, who gives a shit

take a step back and think about your life for a moment

[big_ole_jpn]

if u dont like me calling u a baboon on this FREE forum u can refund ur subscription to my newsletter. O wait.

[Loke]

Don't volunteer for a job you're not willing to do properly. Doctor's Without Boarders doesn't show up to disaster areas and tell distraught family members of injured people to settle down because they're just volunteers.

I don't know OP or whether or not he was being a dick in BB, but the whole "we're volunteers" as a blanket excuse for shitty customer service has literally been an issue on this server for years. Back when Rogean was running the show he actually provided quality customer service and only broke out the metaphorical stick when the carrot didn't work. It seems a lot of staff since then have cared more about asserting their control than actually resolving disputes and making the server a better place. I'm not trying to staff bash, but the zero tolerance policy for questioning staff decisions has resulted in zero accountability and overall worse support from the staff.

If you're going to constantly bitch about being a volunteer, maybe you should quit volunteering. The server could honestly do with less nannying from GMs imo. The way the staff have inserted themselves into the raid scene with all this running for FTE and a rule set that rivals the US IRS codes has made the jokes about EQ lawyers more true than they should be, and reduced the fun or raiding overall imo.

[fan D]

do you understand the incredible amount of insane petitions the GM's get here on the blue server? You think you are the only one farming useless shit like Blackburrow? Theres someone else with autism farming something stupid, just like you, in every zone. Instead of just taking a breath and stepping back, you all send in frivolous petitions that are barely legible in mass quantity.

No one can deal with all of these insane petitions that read
" omg im farming the tooth camp and Galadriel came and stood 2 of my 3 spawns and was threatening to ks and I ninjas looted the piece and almost died by the way I've been here for over 6 hours waiting and he just showed up he didn't even ask or use the wait list plz reimburse or do something I am the rightful heir to the black burrow spawn with an item that has useless stats that will never affect my character"

they get about 30000 a day from kids with assbergers just like yourself OP, so maybe next time say to yourself, "hmm I am farming blackburrow on a Saturday night on en emulated server in 2016, maybe I should just do something else or go farm somewhere else." Then again anyone farming blackburrow is obviously horrible at Everquest and if you can't understand that than you bigger issues my friend

may god have mercy on your soul

[georgie]

I feel mad for anyone volunteering to guide. As for the gms I'm sure there's an incentive for that

[Braknar]

Man.

You really like to speak about things you have absolutely no knowledge of.

Your bard friend was told, by me, to leave the zone and ditch the train he had. He refused and claimed he didn't know where the zone exit was. So, yup, that's a DT in the face followed by a GM res.

[rollin5k]

I'm happy to hear braknar is cleansing the sacred lands of blackburrow from scum.

OP you sound like a flat out retard

[Jontheripper]

Man, just do what the guides say, nothings stopping you from going back the next day and trying again or better yet, go PL by the mino caves in steamfont from 1 - 12. It is literally the best place.

[rocsha]

first off Fan D, you troll a forum dedicated to a 16 year old game... you were saying something about autism and Aspergers?

Secondly Braknar, the train he had was pulled from the side no one was on, so no disruption there. he had never been in zone before today so yea, i believe he had no idea where ZL was because the toon i was on died 3 times trying to lead him out before you came along.

when he said he didnt know where ZL was, instead of summoning him like any GM on live (which you claim to have been) would have done, you went the route of escalation and DT him. GMs are supposed to be the masters of de-escalating conflicts and problems in game.

I still find it odd that a lvl 10 zone is policed and petitions responded to yet highly troubled zones are left up to the SERVER RULE of FTE

BTW, not bashing staff, just questioning the thought process behind ones actions.

rant over

[Braknar]

Actually no, a summon to zone line would have brought the train to the zone line. What I did had zero actual impact on his char and accomplished precisely what I wanted. The situation wasn't escalated until you took it upon yourself to send me tells unbidden. You continue to (attempt) to escalate here on the forums.

Also as I told you, had I seen your petitions in OOT, I would have dealt with them. We are few, and there are gaps. It's gonna happen. I had at least 5 different people complaining about the crap you two were pulling in BB.

[RDawg816]

Good to know Braknar can dish or the DTs here as well as in game.

Curious though, did OP get his subscription refunded?

[RDawg816]

^^ dish out.

You can compliment the staff without being a bootlicker, just as you can criticize without bashing them.

[RDawg816]

I'm always happy when a swarming bard dies, especially if he's PLing someone.

[skarlorn]

So just because people behave like shit means it's okay for you to also? You're a group think retard scumbag with no moral compassion beyond looking around to see if it's socially acceptable to kill noobs and rape their zone. Fan d is right about you.

Great example petition as well Fan D. I wish we could see a list of the most inane / surreal petitions

[fan D]

lol you just know that what his petition looks like, GM's probably get thousands of those a day

don't think id ever petition someone

[radda]

I have seen the list of petitions for 2015 thanks to someone. I still have the spreadsheet and it's EXACTLY has fan d says

[Jontheripper]

Ive only petitioned once that i can recall, was pling some guys way out in the middle of nowhere, a lone dark elf showed up and started bitching about us taking all the mobs so i said "you can join us, or pick a mob type and ill leave em all to you" that wasnt good enoigh for him i suppose, he commenced to log onto a lvl 60 wizard and aoe my swarms for the next 10 min.

Was pretty funny, the guide caught him doing it red handed and i didnt see him again after that.

[maskedmelon]

lol, OP argues it's ok for him to harass newbies becaus he can't compete for seafuries.

[Ivah]

Big fandangle dropping bombs in this thread. Carebare bluebies getting treated.

[Lorian]

Blackburrow on P99 is a prime example of Everquest gone/done bad. Dont think Ive ever met so many dickheads in any MMO as on P99, but Blackburrow is the worst!

[derpcake]

this

don't complain, and if you think its bad, stop logging in

everyone happy

[jcr4990]

Wouldn't happen on Phinny

[Raghnar]

Wouldn't happen on Phinny

Busy stealing rings over there?

[Baler]

OP cry moar. we love the taste of your tears.

[Samoht]

Yuuuup.

[Jimjam]

I actually play this game on a voluntary basis, which is my blanket excuse for being such a shitty player!

[maskedmelon]

If you are unhappy with the service you can always leave. I mean, if someone throws an open party and I go there and find the waitstaff pissing in my Cheerios, I'm gonna go somewhere else, or at least refrain from eating there. At the same time if I throw an open party and decide I want to piss in everyone's Cheerios, well, that's my prerogative and you are all welcome to leave ^^

I would t do that of course and the analogy does t really apply here seeing as my experience with staff has been overwhelmingly positive. My point is, staff doesn't owe anyone anything. If you are unhappy you can always leave... or bitch about it.

Hrm, remind me to never go to a party where Cheerios are on the menu...

Not like you did anything anyways

Don't volunteer for a job you're not willing to do properly. Doctor's Without Boarders doesn't show up to disaster areas and tell distraught family members of injured people to settle down because they're just volunteers.

Back when Rogean was running the show he actually provided quality customer service and only broke out the metaphorical stick when the carrot didn't work. It seems a lot of staff since then have cared more about asserting their control than actually resolving disputes and making the server a better place. I'm not trying to staff bash, but the zero tolerance policy for questioning staff decisions has resulted in zero accountability and overall worse support from the staff.

If you're going to constantly bitch about being a volunteer, maybe you should quit volunteering. The server could honestly do with less nannying from GMs imo. The way the staff have inserted themselves into the raid scene with all this running for FTE and a rule set that rivals the US IRS codes has made the jokes about EQ lawyers more true than they should be, and reduced the fun or raiding overall imo.

You're getting this worked up over a free, private nostalgia server for a game from 1999 where you farm goblins helmets for your elf.

[Ravager]

A good rule to follow as any host that serves Cheerios at a party is suspect regardless.

What's the goblin helmets quest? ? Good exp?

[Champion_Standing]

6 people in a zone

I had at least 5 different people complaining


5 out of 6 adventurers would not visit Blackburrow with OP again.

I want a goblin helmet for my elf. :(

I'm still working on the +20 elf shoes for my rogue.

After my entire time playing here, My experience with customer service was actually decent, but i've heard about a-lot of problems with how the staff runs things, they seem to be pretty rude on the forums as well. I remember overhearing about the owner of the server being platlord or whatever as well. Probably just people stirring up crap. But that would be an amazing front, specially since people seem to not want to actually earn there gear. But sadly this seems to be the norm for customer service, specially if its customer service out of someone based in america. Terrible attitudes is all. They probably are just un-happy in there life so they come to the p99 field to throw people around to feel better. God knows.

But looks like the scene hasn't changed much. Will check back in a while to see if things are smoother. Hope velious is fun for everyone!
