I've been forum questing here in the trenches for a while now. People didn't just start going to forums saying "fuck rogean" "fuck null" "server is shit" randomly one day. It started with questions / polls etc. Threads with null where we were told he was "looking into it" promises that staff were discussing it with null etc., only to find out from null himself in naikon vent that he had peaced out months ago and wasn't working on shit. Things like server rules being promised that never happened, amelindas infamous ask a question for the staff that never went anywhere and then the next one and then sirkens one etc. The players got the middle finger a lot of times here.
You don't think I realize this is free and a volunteer project? Of course I do. It's why you'll never see me upset about velious not being out or what not, it's a free project. What does piss me off is when people in power lie or bullshit rather than just being honest and sharing things like "sorry we just aren't spending time on red99 ATM guys" or "null isn't on staff position is open" why lead us on and bs? Even with the stream, which was good and showed a renewed willingness to look at eq pvp, seemed to have some "fu moments" that just seem so unnecessary. I was accidentally suspended once and a certain unnamed staff member (not Sirken) told me I fucking deserved it for " whining" about being randomly suspended for no reason. It's the hall monitor attitude shit that drives people crazy.
I have the utmost respect for you nilbog, you run a eq emu project with your own dollars at the expense of your own time. And to be fair it's not really you that 99% of frustration is directed at. All we ask for as players on this free project is honesty and mutual respect.
Shrug my two cents
