except for the fact that its retarded. Seriously, this 4am spawn-time crap sucks. Only jobless losers can be awake at 4 am to kill dragons.

Or people who have shifts at night and are still up at that point.

Or people who are willing to sacrifice some sleep because their job is easy.

Or people who are addicted to this game.

Or a lot of things, aside from the obvious *if you're in Transcendence* thing.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks being awake at 4 am to fight over 10 year old content is stupid. Well congrats to IB on all your 4 am dragon kills. I hope those uber items are worth the loss of sleep. I know it sure as hell isn't for me.

Well to be fair, that's assuming you know when the dragon will spawn, which we don't. I'm not complaining, just saying.

There are no longer any members in any guild that have the capabilities of logging into a GM character.

He told me that if I send him naked pictures of myself that he would fill my bags with manastones...

4am US time spawn means that when I get home from work at 6pm I can catch a lucky dragon spawn and raid, when I tend to miss most normal time spawns. Maybe your guild should have more azn time players, or look up phone tree in the dictionary.

Or, you just don't want it that bad, in which case, guess what? You probably shouldn't be playing classic EQ if you want the rewards without working for them.

Or I coulda just quoted hasbin

what's a phone tree? (honest question)

Back in live, if a boss spawned at a random time, everyone in the guild had like 3 peoples (or more) phone numbers/contact info to call to have them log in.

So say Otto saw Naggy spawn at 4:38am, he would call Karsten, who in turn would call Hadinbad and Burple, who would call others and the dragon would die by 4:50am or such.

Oh my god it must be true because he said so!! wow! everytime a leader says something it must be true and history has proven well time and time again that this is always true omg. WOW YES that makes total sense.

FYI -all- of the development staff play in top guilds that will continue to be favored just like the same 'developers' that played with the VZ/TZ corruption are now 'developing' this new server.

blah blah blah.

You can believe us or not, but I feel bad for myself or my developers not being able to play the game they helped create.

Unlike the government, we have no reason to lie to you.

I'll debate corporations and oil all you'd like, but this is emulated classic everquest. We don't profit or shape the world, so your analogies make no sense.

Policy can't/won't get any better than this, so what are you crying about? If your intent is for this to not exist at all, your crying will fall on even deafer ears.

Why aren't GMs allowed to play normal characters like everyone else?

Otto

Why aren't GMs allowed to play normal characters like everyone else?

Because the general populace of the server (actually more like 20-30 people who are very vocal about their complaints) have this conspiracy theory that the GM's who had play characters in the high end guilds were abusing their power and hacking.

Stupid, I know... but when people bitch and moan all day every day and the only way to placate them is to simply remove a privilege from 3-5 people, some people would give in.

The idea behind the decision, I'd assume, is the fact that the people who created this server would do ANYTHING to see it succeed. The bitching and moaning would deteriorate the server's integrity and people might be deterred from coming here. I know I would give up the ability to play if my creation was under threat of being deteriorated and destroyed.

Wonder why Xzerion isn't a GM anymore~ Because he fell under the same rules as the rest of the development team. Given the option, he is playing. He put in a ton of work that all you are enjoying and he deserves the right to enjoy it for himself as well.

There will be no flaming of former developers affected by this decision. Most of you have no idea how much work the developers put into the game, but I will most assuredly protect them from flaming, when they cannot protect themselves. I will personally issue suspensions for anyone that breaks this rule.
