EQ as it should have been?

[Kika Maslyaka]

Let me clearly what is the dilemma here.

Back on LIVE if enough people would bug SOE to change/implement something, SOE would eventually back down and maybe meet them half way. But if you were in minority - you could only dream about something you like to be implemented.

On EMU - you actually have a REAL opportunity to do things EXACTLY how you want them.

No one is denying you the right of free speech, I am merely pointing out at the fact that, that ANYONE here has a freedom to start their own eq server and alter anything they think worth altering.

In other words what is happening is following:

1. This is a Purist Vision Classic server (minus the technical discrepancies like new UI, item links etc)
2. At least 50% of players that play here are PURISTS who came here to get exactly that - a Pure Classical server (lets call them group A)
3. SOME portion of the players (lets call them group B) like the idea of original EQ but would not mind to IMPROVE on it.
4. Now these players from Group B start making all these suggestions about improving classical gameplay that purists obviously don't like.

Now, listen careful as I am about to make a point: even if we assume for a moment that server Devs are influenced by democracy (right of majority), even then, the group B would loose to group A.
However, when people from group B are given option to do things their own way - split off and start their own project, they somehow consider it inappropriate.

So it appears to be, that group B, while desiring changes to the server, somehow wishes to impose them onto Group A, and have group A to accept them, despite the fact, that group A clearly opposes such changes.
I basing this argument on a logical assumption, that if YOU are proposing a change, you would like to see this change implemented, otherwise you would not be proposing it.
And when group B is presented with a counter offer of creating their OWN project, where group B will be a majority governing potential improvement of EQ, they find it unacceptable to them.
