Regarding Secrets transparent dev model:
>> Secrets — Yesterday at 6:39 PM Models are your preference really I won't stop folks from editing the old skeletons in if they want those. Secrets — Yesterday at 6:40 PM Thanks. Though, really, I only communicate openly because this is what I'd want a developer to do for me as a player. evil_weasel_fred — Yesterday at 6:41 PM the fact that you're open sourcing your work is HUGE.. you're the main guy now, but you won't always have to be.. you will always be a legend Secrets — Yesterday at 6:42 PM There's some level of narcissism and manipulation involved too - by being the face of something, I can be more in control of decision making, and I'll own our great and poor decisions as such. And the manipulative bit is just... I know how people work, and I know they appreciate being talked to like humans instead of talked down on like idiots. So they're more inclined to listen to me or my ideas / opinions if I act in their interests and not belittle them. Vegeta — Yesterday at 6:43 PM secrets for prez Secrets — Yesterday at 6:44 PM It's an eye for an eye style philosophy, but that doesn't mean it has to apply to just taking someone's eye in return for misdeeds. It can also apply to people feeling comfortable and in return, I'd return with comforting feeling. In a way, it's cultish, but I'm also trying to make sure I'm unbiased in that process, too. Meaning, I'd likely treat my friends who cheat here the same way I'd treat total strangers - because of the action, not the person evil_weasel_fred — Yesterday at 6:45 PM two things: 1 everyone thinks they're right and 2 you can't make everyone happy.. based on the interview you gave to Octavian, i want to be a belieber.. much love and wonderful nights of rest to you Secrets Secrets — Yesterday at 6:45 PM Thanks. Though it's easier to talk about philosophy than it is to act on it in practice. So, I anticipate once the veil drops and people reveal their true actions or intents after they play, we may end up with some people hating me like they do other server administrations evil_weasel_fred — Yesterday at 6:47 PM For my part of "everyone thinks they're right".. i just want to see the server wiped every 5 or 6 years.. this ensures everything is above board.. it chops the balls off RMT.. but its your ball game.. fingers crossed >> There is no benefit Secrets has given me for telling the p99 community I am looking forward to Project Quarm. | ||

I still think p99 has the better database but TAKP has better combat.

Good luck to you Trex and Assenseiter on any projects you ever give a go at getting off the ground. No man is an island. Even cynics. Who knows you might even appreciate the support of someone who likes what you're doing someday.
The fact that Secrets is putting in hours of time into creating a new EQ old school classic server is commendable. Getting caught up in the minute details is only an indication that you find the project intriguing in one way or another. I predict you both will play there. Enjoy p99 and TAKP in the meantime. Devs at both places have really out done themselves. | ||

If it's all about what YOU want, why don't you just go single box on TAKP? You can go experience every expansion though PoP right now. Nothing stopping you at all. This goes for Trexller, as well. TAKP has a great community and is very welcoming to new players. If you want to play through Luclin/PoP content now, just go play TAKP. Quarm is not going to release with all expansions enabled, there's no point even discussing it. You can either accept that Secrets has a different vision of ideal progression than yours and play anyway, or you can choose to play somewhere else. But expecting the box to cater to your individual opinions on content is both juvenile and asinine.
Most EQ players don't want to jump into a server that has all expansions enabled, it's as simple as that. If you do, well, okay, that's your opinion. But it's one that most players don't share, so you shouldn't expect that your view will be widely supported, especially by devs who are putting in a ton of unpaid, volunteer work to get a successful server up and running. | ||
