Gm morals

[craigabot4]

I recently received an ip exemption for me and my wife so , me my wife and 1 of my friends could all play together with my paraplegic friend . i then log on the next morning to find a temporary ban on my ip ? i sent messages but nothing. this is ruining my time with our friend since his condition is worsening and we just wanted to play the eq era from before his accident ... morally i think this is extremely disturbing to me imo.


all my friend and my wife want to do is play with our friend who is getting worse before he cant play, we have waited for weeks for this ip exemption just to get ip temp banned again without a reason? if this is the management of the server i don't see a future for it.

[craigabot4]

Morally this is extremely wrong of them and something needs to be done.

[Reddarok]

Try again? Could've just been a fluke.

[craigabot4]

It says exactly : You are currently not allowed to login to the server "becasue" this IP has a temporary block on it . please try again later. ive tried it all day also might want to spell check becasue im pretty sure it's spelled "because"

[Jauna]

server has rules, your dying friend wont moralize the morals of rules morals and morals.

[Phenyo]

please move to rnf

[craigabot4]

what is rnf?

[craigabot4]

if you mean where i posted this thread it's "because" this is happening in the starting zone area

[Tethler]

Post in the petition forum if you want them to review you claim. Posting anywhere else and complaining about it and questioning their morals is not likely to improve your odds of getting what you want.

[Solist]

My armless friend who follows me around to cast CH and buff out of group also needs an IP exemption. He cant type, only do those things though. Don't expect him to respond to tells or pass boxing tests.

Don't use your friend's condition like its a weapon though, that just adds insult to them or to anyone else with varying "worsening" conditions of sorts. Also why put into the question the morals of some GM? How would they even know before you would have mentioned anything to them. They gots rules on here you gotsa follows.

[Foxplay]

Jokes and Boxing Paranoia from others aside... on a serious note...

If your friend, wife, or anyone that will ever log into your account that has a IP exemption if they cannot pass a box check (able to respond in English, listen to some simple instructions, and move a character around when instructed to do so) then quite frankly unless you can get a lengthy discussion with lead GM's about your friends disability then I would not bother with IP exemption on this server. Its policed and any suspicious player's could report you at any time (granted it may take a few minutes for a GM to check in on it, it may take hours) could be the next day, could be a week, could be a few months, but eventually you will be box checked. If you read the warning the GM/Guide gave you when they granted your IP exemption this information was included...

All parties must be capable of communicating in English with server staff and follow basic commands at any given point.

Remember the rules: 1 client per Real Life player at any time. Deviation from this rule will
result in permanent bans.

This can be rather difficult to abide by if your having someone like... a very young child play, someone who doesn't know English at all, significant others that have absolutely no clue how to control a character in EQ or use the client to type..., people who constantly go afk or leave the distance at which you can communicate with them people with severe disabilities

If your already suspended then you'll have to talk to the server staff anyway about it, whining on the public forums about the GM's will not get you any +faction hits with the GM's

Dont multi box man

Your ip exemption request hasn't been approved yet, when it is we will reply to your post. Every time you bump it you go to the bottom of the list.

I don't think you know what "morals" actually mean so I'll give you a pass.

[craigabot4]

Thank you for all the negative responses hope i never run into you in-game it would ruin our fun .Me and my wife played for a few hours so i dont see how it would let us on for hours then temporarily put a bann on our ip again the next morning. but again thank you

[Scailed]

Hey OP. Please don't mistake this for anything other than friendly advice.

Rule No. 1 - When attempting to receive assistance or help from someone that has the ability to do so, your chances of success are significantly higher when ya DO NOT insult and belittle them on their own forums.

It's kinda like when ya are at a restaurant or have to eat on the run. The likelihood of your food not being as advertised/tampered with is a frightening prospect. Although, comparing fast food to EQ isn't the best analogy ever, it should suffice to get the point across enough so ya can learn and move forward.

Friendly advice man - When first meeting a new person, try treating them how you would want to be treated instead. It's a fantastic way to not only receive the help you need, but make some potentially good buddies in the process. A lot of our gm's are lending their time for free to help out. That's a pretty selfless thing to do. That in combination with respect and gratitude is a fantastic way to building a strong, healthy, foundation for a relationship in which these things often become mutual.

Love, Peace, Unicorns, Rainbows, BFF Bracelets etc.

[craigabot4]

i dont see how i was negative i was only typing out what we were going threw i didnt intend to belittle or anything like that i dont know what you mean. we played for hours so if we didnt have one how could we play? I have discord if you want to talk to us all 4 of us at the same time if you dont believe me so again thank you for the negativity i appreciate it , and thank you for an response to our plee.

[Jimjam]

I'm always impressed by the calm, measured responses typical of the CSR on this server.

Good luck with your group of four friends IP exemption.

It is unfortunate that you are 4 friends and your username includes the phrase 'bot4', though.

[trite]

What is the point of this post? Questioning a volunteer's morals in a public forum doesn't seem like the best way to solicit their help .....

Either A, they don't have morals and are offended by this and don't care about your plight. Or the more likely B-scenario. They do have some morality and didn't mean to personally inconvenience you, but are now less likely than ever to help.

Self reflect a little bit here OP, you are creating needless headaches, please show some respect for the staff and the due process. You really bumped your own post here 6 times in the span of 20 minutes and have made rather unreasonable demands. If you read what Menden and Nilbog posted you probably have delayed your own official exemption by bumping it 20 times.

Great Thread 10/10.

[Andakos]

We are moral people. It isn't like we have weekend gatherings where we eat babies and don't floss. Seriously though, we get a ton of IP exemption requests. I'm pretty sure you all have guessed there is a process. That process is pretty labor intensive. I know everyone would like to have a quick turn around on these, but to put it bluntly, too many people have abused exemptions in the past for us to just hand them out. Make sure when you ask for an exemption you read the sticky and get all of the information we need in there, don't bump your posts, for God's sake be patient, and don't accuse us of drowning puppies or anything like that.

[Jauna]

I wish I had the mental dexterity to post this sooner and do some lines so you can read it in his voice.

[Dumluk]

I heard Andakos has weekend gatherings where he eats babies and doesn't floss. True story.

[Quizlop]

Reminds me of this classic thread. (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208907&highlight=caught)

[Ravager]

It's morally wrong not to buy your friend a hotspot so he can have his own IP if playing EQ with him means so much. It's also morally wrong not to play other classic multiplayer games with him while you wait for your IP exemption. Morally, you could be doing better for your friend than shaming strangers for handouts.

[Penish]

Why do people do this? Get a VPN, go play with friends, if your going to box, the server pretty much police's itself. you'll most likely get caught. These GM's are donating time, why would you even wait for an exemption when you could be playing with all your box pals in 15 minutes?

Thanks for the link, that was a great thread.

My favorite part has to be:

dear OP. if you PM me your acct name, or a link to your petition thread, i will gladly look into it on the terms that:

A) if you are guilty, i get to change your suspension to a perma ban
B) if you are not guilty, i will punish the guide that hit you and post here to try to clear your name



your move sir.

[matticas]

don't conflate "morals" and "getting what you want"

GMs are careful about IP exemption precisely because rule-breakers out there "immorally" box and ruin the game for the rest of us.

So while the slowness may annoy you, you should be thankful to them. Be patient, and good on ya for enjoying the game with friends!

[craigabot4]

So basically because me and my wife casually logged in threw your fire wall that i guess my fault for assuming i had an exemption . i apologize i had no idea you could stroll threw your fire wall like that . Again sorry for the miss understanding i thought i had it since we played for hours together , then you took it away . silly us i thought the server was more secure then that. We are moving on from all the toxic help. again sorry for the miss understand but we all thought we had the exemption since we all played together. :eek:

[craigabot4]

BTW my friend is really disabled , so to squash all the negative feed back here is my discord link and you can tell the paraplegic to his face he isnt a paraplegic from breaking his neck in service of our country. cause its really messed up to read these comments and get such negative feed back trying to get help .

[Secrets]

IP restriction errors are just due to a client list entry not timing out properly. You'll be able to log in again a short time after, provided your IP exemption was not revoked. These messages are automatic and generated by the server, not by a server administrator and they do not indicate you have been banned.

The misspelling of 'because' is actually not on the P99 side of things; this is a typo in the SOE code from 2003-2004ish.
eqlsstr_us.txt, line 198:

198 You are currently not allowed to login to the server becasue this IP has a temporary block on it. Please try again later.


You may want to ensure that your IP address didn't change, and Rants & Flames is not the section to be posting about this anyways.

[Swish2]

There's no difference between the "banned" message and if your account was suspended either.

If you have a suspended account it will still be marked as banned but will be available again after whatever time period is up.
