Weird Loramin isn’t happy with the progress the server has made. Despite your thoughts on why, they happened. I call that progress.

I never said that.
Of course I'm happy with the progress "the server" has made on things like rolls.
What I'm saying is, "the server" is not a thing: it's a composition of thousands of players and a few GMs, and those are all people. NOTHING about the two things you mentioned in any way suggests that the
people involved will behave any differently.
Again, if anything it suggests the exact opposite. ToV was
only changed (unclassically I might add) because the players were behaving so badly that the staff couldn't handle all of the drama. Again, if you don't believe me, go read Braknar's logs on Reddit.
So feel free to keep telling yourself that because the players made the staff so miserable in ToV that they were forced to abandon the core project goal (classic EQ), that it somehow indicates "progress", and that people will be nice to each other on Green.
But I maintain that it's insane to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. The
only thing that will change player behavior (on Green or anywhere else) is a change to the system ... ie. a rules change. And the only hope of that that we've seen isn't the things you mentioned: it's what Melon just mentioned (the hiring of new guides) ... which absolutely
is a rules change (eg. the rule on names went from being a non-rule to actually being a rule .. or at least half of one, as it seems like half of it is being enforced now).
