Wow - So you know what i see - i see several potential devs here. If you are all THAT much of experts on EQ then i recommend you learn how to code or at least learn how to pseudocode and talk to nilbog and express an interest in reforming your negativity and doing something positive for the game we all love so much. Then if you think something is so damn broken then work with nilbog in a POSITIVE manner to try and get it changed.

Do you think coming at him with tons of public threads about how much his server sucks really is a way to make him listen to you at all???? If you think that's how to get people to listen to you then you need to go to charm school or something.

And you think the red server gets no attention from the CS Staff beyond a broadcast reminder not to train each other? Here's a hint buddy - if i'm broadcasting not to train it's because i have several reports of training going on in various zones and i can't be everywhere at once. I have spent countless hours on red helping players, trying to fix things and provide immediate guide assistance.

Sirken has spent a lot of time doing the same. We all have real lives. we can't be on there 24/7.

Boxing will never be allowed so stop asking for it.

Cast: Sirken is around still - He's out of town right now I believe. He isn't going anywhere. I won't let him. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Null is still around but has been busy.

so anyway.

tldr -> If the server sucks so bad and you are the savior you believe yourself to be then quit polluting the boards with negativity and talk to nilbog about helping to develop the game and join the team! You can still play as a dev ... depending on what you do.

Hi Amelinda,

Just wanted to say from my perspective as a developer, when I joined p1999 about a year ago, I was very excited, and I sent PMs asking how I could contribute. I never heard anything back. Don't know if this is a common experience, but I just assumed they weren't interested in having other coders join the team.

Of course it's certainly possible that Nilbog just didn't repond, or he forgot, or any other perfectly normal reason. It's also true that I could also have pressed on and pinged more.. but I didn't hear back so I just assumed there wasn't interest.

If there is real interest in getting more devs to join, I would suggest a "potential dev FAQ" posted somewhere, with a list to the source code, how to build, how to run unit tests, etc. There are many red players who are also developers like myself that I'm sure would love to help.
