Its amazing what people believe unless they are told otherwise. All it takes is like 5 posts to get to favoritism or speculative posting. :T

Let me preface this by saying the underlying tone of favoritism for any guild is being conjured or misinterpreted. A lot of the decisions I make without even knowing the in-game guilds. Let me assure you, GM involvement or decision making that is my own has nothing to do with your guilds.. I don't even get a chance to play a character, much less learn all your abbreviations.

Yet hes in game and IG is allowed to kill him and get a 12/22 dagger?
He was up for like 44 days. Not sure how this relates to any guild.

does not belong on any server that claims to provide the classic experience, because Mayong Mistmoore and his loot was not part of the classic experience.
As far as Mayong is concerned, yes he was part of classic. From research, mostly what I read about him was he would cause zone disruption, kill/lag everyone, crash Mistmoore, and then hang out at the zone line. (Not that hard to do, I think I could make it happen)

He was rumored to drop the Fanged Skull Stiletto (the dagger mentioned here) "very early in release."

The day before the server launched, I spawned lots of raid mobs in gfaydark and allowed the remaining testers to fight them. I heard NO complaints about Mayong and people seemed to think it was a great fight. Also, no one complained about him until he was killed.. really guys, almost 2 months?

Not accusing anyone of favoritism, I literally just read "open the planes up, some people already have planes gear" (to paraphrase) and am curious as to the story behind that (I'm fairly new to the server).
Sure, here's the story. During the last crunch week of testing and pre-launch DB preparation, I forgot to disallow a few zones of having access. Just a few numbers in different fields that hadn't been changed for nearly a year.. sorry. When it was discovered that players were there, the zones were disabled for the next restart, and locked. It was my decision for the loot to be kept.. they were open, its my fault. I have no idea how to otherwise give these players back their time to put in. (?) So.. as far as the planes, whomever is looking for someone to blame, you can blame me.

My Solusek Ro quested Shovel of Ponz was removed two weeks after the server was launched because it was not supposed to be open (due to a communication problem between GMs/programmers).
Your Broom of Trilon was removed by me, yep. You failed to mention that I gave back all your quest components for it, though :P In this instance, I was able to give you back your "time". In the instance of the planes.. I didn't have this option.

I know the forums are for discussion, but its disheartening at times to have to type large paragraphs just to explain myself :T I do it for you guys. <3
