New PoP-Locked Server

[Cobretti]

#1, requiring people to get approved to play on your server prior to doing so is a ridiculous idea.

#2, boxing is going to not attract anyone and not have a good community, it is why p99 has strived so well.

#3, your idea for a server is good except for one other flaw...GM's playing characters will always have a bad rap due to content exploits and favoritism.

Requiring a signup is for organization purposes and to prevent people we don't want on the server from coming on (those who we simply refer to as the douchebags). We aren't expecting this server to be particularly big, even though that would be great. If it gets big enough, we will allow people to create their own accounts.

Boxing may be changed to require an IP exemption like P99 eventually. However, that will only happen if we reach a good number of people that will allow us to even have a real community in the first place, or if it gets out of hand.

I would agree with that GM part. I already had to deny one of my friends GM access because he was favoring one person over another.

Our main goal is just to enjoy the server, and allow others to come if they want to. We're not looking to become a big server or anything. My friends and I enjoyed having the whole world to ourselves, but we wanted to afford others the opportunity to enjoy it with us.

I have edited the site more, and we now have our Forums ready. I have appreciated any input you guys have had, and will appreciate anything more.

You do realize there is other servers out there that have boxing and have a steady player base right? Sure alot of people dont like boxing, but alot of people in eq do. My brother quit a few months after eq was released, and I boxed his account from then on for years, just like many other classic players did. Plenty of people box right here on p99 whether you want to believe it or not.

True story. Too easy to get around that stuff.
