We've been extremely unfortunate historically with way too much of a putting themselves on pedestal attitude once in power in the past by so many people. We need a genuine attitude toward excellent service, and respect for playerbase. I know you have the capability to be one of those guy so I just urge you please don't degrate the community publicly, and especially in private. People in CSR need to have a complete and genuine urge to want to help and serve others or it just screws everything up in colossal ways.

I can promise you, I'm not here for some self-fulfilment-power-trip. I'm waaaaay past that kind of crap at this point of my life. I'm just an older dude, married, kids, mortgage, career (though..... I'm no young doctor), etc etc etc etc that just enjoys EQ. I have nothing to prove here, especially on the forum.

I truly do believe P99 is *the* best EQ server out there at the moment. I want to help it, and its community grow, and I believe in the vision Rogean / Nilbog have for the box, else I wouldn't be here.

I've played here for the last few years, and have wanted to give back (if I could program I would help there but I can't - so here I am [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], I guess just the dude vacuuming the carpets at night).

With that said, I do hope the people here appreciate the many volunteers past, present, and future that do dedicate their time to this project though. I know do. Without them, none of this is possible and P99 would cease to exist.

Do I think the community owes us something for it? I know I certainly don't feel owed / entitled to anything from the community, but of course I hope the community appreciates what we are doing. /shrug

Regarding:

I agree, excellent service/respect is necessary for this server to thrive, but I will add that just like in real life, if the customer comes in all bent out of shape, the staff (especially if they are volunteers) are going to be less likely to want to help them. In my RL interactions when I've had a problem with some product or service, I've had much better results with employees when I, the customer, approach them respectfully instead of immediately flying off the handle at them. Almost always they are willing to bend over backward and help me out. It's just a fact of life. So it goes both ways, in my opinion.

Appreciate what you do, but you know RnF isn't what it used to be when mods are posting thoughtful replies to the trolls in it.

Clark's comment seemed legitimate enough /shrug

I understand Daybreak might be looking over our shoulders, but really... at what point did moving the gif thread and some others out ever concern keeping Daybreak happy?

I like our community forums, lets not go overboard with micromanagement <3

Just to let you know, you obviously don't understand EQ. People like EQ because of the drama, the challenge and all the other shit that goes along with it. If they wanted to play an instanced game where you don't have that shit, they would play WoW or some other instanced version of an MMO. You limiting and moderating everything everyone says is ridiculous, they didn't even really do that shit on live. They had bad word filters for a reason.

Not that I agree with the porn, tranny shit or any racists shit but I am pretty open minded to what other people think is funny and common sense tells me, this thread is labelled "Ass thread" I am going to be looking at a bunch of asses. Hence, I have my own open decision to open that thread or not. Shit people post here is no worse than you will find on regular television programming such as South Park. If you are really offended by that shit you shouldn't be on the internet, bottom line. Go to any top guilds page and they have the same type shit in their forums, you aren't going to avoid it.


Anything else comes off as trying to be a whistle blower, and no one likes whistle blowers, not even themselves.

*Disclaimer* not bashing the staff, freely stating my opinion on what should be moderated and what shouldn't. Titles not posted with a NSFW title should be removed.

I like EQ but hate all those things.

If you hate the challenge then why not play WoW? That doesn't make sense. If it's nostalgia, it must be because something about EQ being unforgiving and social interaction with everyone in dungeons, makes it fun. Hence, drama or shooting the shit.

Yeah I enjoy grouping with friends, I hate the drama.

Do you hate the drama, or do you hate being caught up in the drama? Do you find no entertainment in watching others make tempests in their little teapots, while you observe with detachment safe in your group of friends? I find that, just like RL, EQ gets pretty boring without drama.
