Can we please get a comment from an admin/dev on whether they're aware of this, disagree with this, agree with this, etc?

No, you can't. Or at least, it's incredibly unlikely.

Look, maybe this wasn't obvious from:

There hasn’t been a single developer reply to this in two years.

... but clearly Nilbog has made a choice here. That choice is either to not fix this issue, or to fix it someday in the future. As others have tried to explain, Nilbog's actions will not be influenced by posts here.

Now, Nilbog doesn't strike me as an aggressive guy, so I wouldn't expect that he'd come tell you that you are idiots for posting. But he's also not going to let a few players dictate how he builds the server that he's spent over ten years of his life building.

So y'all can keep bumping all you want, but again, it's not going to do anything. And to be clear, I don't speak for Nilbog, and I have no special insight: you too can know exactly what I just explained yourself ... simply read past bug posts and see.

Can you even imagine how amazing it would be if there was even a little bit of transparency and communication from the devs about what's being worked on?

How many posts would've never happened if there was a list that everyone could see of all the things the devs are aware of and being worked on or that are working as intended and will remain as they are?

None of the devs/staff have any obligation to say anything or respond to any post but the staggering amount of trouble they would save and frustration that would be alleviated is immeasurable if they did decide to communicate more.

The lack of communication between the staff and the player base and crazy long amount of time between patches is really sad.

I absolutely agree: more communication from the staff would be lovely!

Also, while I don't know the details of this bug, I'm very much against making the Enchanter epic unclassically hard. I'm against anything unclassic, but it cuts both ways: Enchanters on P99 have charming unclassicaly easy. I'd like to see less charm soloing Enchanters AND more Enchanters with snake sticks ... which is to say, I want the classic Enchanter in all their classic glory [You must be logged in to view images.

But aside from all all that, I'm also a developer myself, and most days I can't even be arsed to put an hour of work into my side project. Nilbog has put in far, far more than that ... for 10+ years! I can't even begin to explain how incredible that is.

If him ignoring all us asshole players, and refusing to communicate with us, is what it takes to keep him sane and still cranking out these classic fixes after all these years ... I think we can all make due with a lack of communication.
