Sorry Nilbog, I truely enjoy and playing on this server and I am very grateful that it's free to play and available. But there is way to much stuff that isn't classic.
This is fine. I *want* to make things more classic, but it's difficult to even read these threads when non-classicness is addressed so generally. Like, your example that blue diamonds shouldn't drop till velious.. isn't correct. Blue diamonds dropped in Kunark, but blue diamond jewelry shouldn't be craftable till Velious. This was corrected 2 months ago, retroactively, but a patch hasn't occurred.

It's the raid scene and rules, then? If there's something I can fix, I go out of my way to fix it. If it's generally complaining about raiding, then address it as such. I think the raid scene is trash as well. What's funny about that is.. if you played on a server with top 5 worldwide guilds, it's pretty damn classic and awful. Da`Kor was my experience, but the difference is they did the most they could with the fewest people they could. That.. is not the zerg mentality of present day.

FWIW Nilbog I totally understand your attitude. People are complaining about a great free service. Rather than take it personally, I hope it just goes to show you how irritating the raid scene on this server can be.
Nah, not taking it personally. I just want specific examples so I can fix it if it's fixable. As I said above, rules and player interactions are quite more difficult to fix than something actually having to do with Everquest...

That's what I'm afraid of. I don't want it to end up as a GM-bashing contest and a bunch of whiny cunts who aren't grateful of the work you guys have put in, but I'd be lying if I didn't have some rather serious concerns that you've ignored for a period of years and the way things have been going as of late.
Didn't ignore anything that I'm aware of. I've responded to the raid scene proposals and various other things. I have a vote in management decisions. Essentially, I want to recreate classic eq. When it goes beyond the actual work, it ... sucks. Managing people sucks. Managing people's expectations sucks worse.

It is literally impossible to please everyone, but we seriously do what we can. Zerg guilds, on both servers, I wish you would drop some numbers or create rules or rotations with other guilds. It's ridiculous that it reaches the point that management is blamed for what happens in game.
