Pretty sure his point isn't about the words on the screen (as in "OMG I want a title too!!11") but rather about consistency amongst those in control of the server.

Just for the record, I am not saying anything one way or another about anything along those lines, merely explaining what I think the original poster was getting at.

GMs bestowing titles after GM events was done in Classic. The only difference is that our GM events are different... as they should be. I don't see how this complaint is valid.

I certainly remember there being no titles before Kunark at the very least.

I don't mind custom titles at all, just mentioning that it was stated just a week or two ago that GMs would research what GM events / titles were available in classic and only grant those.

There were definitely custom titles given out when there were still plenty of GM events being run, prior to Kunark. Perhaps your server and staff was different. I know we had some nifty ones floating around on Fennin Ro though.

Whilst titles were classicly awarded, I think it's important to remember the rarity of titles. Having everyone have one just makes it like EQ live With "apprentice chef omnimorph of bristlebane"

This.

It seems like half the time I go the EC tunnel there's more people with titles than people without.

Okay, I'm sure there isn't more titles than non-titles, but there really is a ton of them sometimes.

Indeed, I can also say for certain that previous Kunark, on E'ci at least, there were four? GM events that I was online for or during where titles were handed out.
