As much as this upsets a lot of folks, myself included, Sirken undoubtedly cares about this server, and has put in an enormous amount of time making this the most classic EQ server available. He isn't taking a personal approach to these suspensions as much as some may believe. This server has a long history and the rules are a product of that history.
However, I do believe we are now at a crossroads, but this time on the type of punishment being levied and the over extending on player management.
I do hope after this thread the lines of communication can finally be opened. The community and the staff have a real opportunity to work together here.
It's still a game after all, and the staffs role in the community is just as important as the community itself.
We appreciate you guys (staff) and I hope we can come together as a community and fix this.
