Do P99 Devs, GMs and Guides Have Jobs?
Harry and a couple other loud voices like to shout about P99 staff not doing their jobs, which got me to wondering: do they technically have jobs if they're volunteers?
My first inclination is to check the definition. Job is a word with a lot of uses, of course, but the definitions from multiple dictionaries that fit this context are inextricably tied to the concepts of pay and employment. However, English is a rapidly changing language and dictionary definitions can lag usage. So I thought about contemporary usage I experience. I volunteer some of my time myself, so I know other people who volunteer there, and I also have many friends who volunteer for other things. One of my friends sits on the board of directors for a significant regional charity. No one I know speaks of their volunteer work as a job. Volunteer work is always distinct from employment, both in conversation and when written on a C.V. So does anyone on the P99 staff have a job? If they're not getting paid, then the answer is no. They're volunteers. The RnF trolls shouting about staff not doing their jobs are not only rude and ungrateful, they're also factually incorrect. | ||

they wouldnt have to do their "jobs" if the playerbase wasnt a bunch of shithead cheaters. i dont think they envisioned this many losers coming on an emu to cheat, scam, rmt, and hack.

this would be better as a response to a thread no one clicks instead of a whole thread no one clicks
in my very important opinion | ||

they're 'volunteers.' they dont make any money from p99, despite what a lot of people claim about RMT
they have, however, accepted responsibility to adhere to a specific set of guidelines as to what being a volunteer 'guide' or 'gm' is able and suppose to do. if these guidelines are not followed, ie they fail to do their volunteer 'job', then they will be removed from the volunteer team, as has happened in the past to some of them that being said, they do the best they can without making any money for the love of everquest and for the enjoyment of responsibility over the project itself. they also have actual jobs. those are not related to p99 | ||

Yes. All of us have jobs and do this on the side (or in my case, when I should be working). I'm a developer and technical consultant for a large international corporation, for instance. This is just what I do when I have a few minutes to spare.
