An Open Letter to the Developers of Project 1999
 
I have been contemplating making this post for quite some time now. I kept putting it off because I simply could not stop playing on the server while my computer was turned on. However, I feel like now is the right time to make a post like this. Not only because it has been sitting in my head for far too long, but also because of the recent issues related to patches and gameplay.

First of all I want to say this: screw you.

Yes, screw you players who pollute these boards with demoralizing, non-constructive posts, from bitching about recent bugs related to patches, to tearing down the integrity of the developers and initiating conspiracy theories. I hope you realize that this server is hosted by other true lovers of the wonderful game that once was EverQuest, and are spending lots of their own time and money to make sure you can relive the experience.

For me personally, it takes me back to a time when I first began playing EverQuest. I was a chubby little 13 year old in middle school (I really wasn't so little; more just chubby) and I would scurry home, toss my backpack on the couch and get as many hours of gameplay in before Mom got home from work and kicked me off the household computer. Now I am reliving that scenario somewhat, 10 years later; as soon as I get home from work, I drop my car keys, kick off my work boots and load up the game. A lot has changed in 10 years, but not my love for the true Classic EverQuest Experience.

So this is it, devs. This is what I really want to say: you kick ass. I hope you know how many players truly appreciate what you do, the time you put into this project, and the fact that it is truly free. For every one person who is trying to tear it down; there will be 10 people to keep it going. We are behind you, and I know I don't speak just for myself when I pledge my loyalty, support and undying appreciation for all the time and money you pour into this server every day, every hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This whole post is full of win.

Devs, you rock. Thank you so much.

This is nice :)

Hey! That must be his family picture.. Based upon the OP and the picture, I am guessing that as a chubby kid, you played a bard. It looks like you got the whole family goin' :)

But seriously, good post. The vast majority of users really do appreciate all that the devs are doing to run the servers. As always, there will be some vocal minority which complains when the world doesn't work the way they want. It sucks when stuff is down, but honestly, I am very impressed with the uptime of this server..

No, screw this post. I demand the following:

Stop making patches on saturday nights. God damn. That's when most of us can play! we have lives! You're here to serve me!

Stop doing patches while I'm awake! Get up in the middle of the night and do it while I am asleep! YOU'RE HERE TO SERVE ME

Stop claiming this is like 1999. What's this variance crap. It's your damn JOB to police us if you insist on caring that this project you invest all your time in goes down the crapper with people feuding. Give me ffa or give me death!

Stop not fixing the simplest of bugs. How hard could it POSSIBLY be to make the boats work! I could do better using the mouse with my testicles.

Stop providing this for free. You should be paying US to keep your passion going strong. YOU owe US.

Stop providing us a forum and loosely policing our insane claims and rants. Have you SEEN some of the things people have said that you let stay up?



k I think I flipped from satire to just flat out mockery.
