I think people get mad when they don't see status updates of new content and patches. They assume after awhile your not doing anything and wonder if they are waste time.

I think these people have an utterly disgusting sense of entitlement.

Well since classic eq was a huge time sink they feel entitled for the time the put into the game. Also if this was seen as a hobbiest server (as it should be) people wouldn't get so pissed off about the servers lack of support. They want this to be a sony owned classic server that has server reboots everyweek, a full staff of GMs, a time line of content that has to be matched, patches to fix and improve current issues and a developer that is very open with the players. It can't and never will happen on any private server so they troll it to shit. It sucks wanting to poopsock EQ all over again likes it 1999 with full gm support but it won't happen ever.

They're wrong.

I personally don't care what the rabble wants. I'm here to just play a game.

Maybe Erollisi Marr was different than the rest, but that is not the experience I had in 1999. I had petitions which never got answered, players resolving conflicts in lieu of gm support, absolutely no communication with developers, and reboots which happened out of nowhere, sometimes 5+ times a day.

This server is having a really good run for being a private hosted server. Almost 3 years of being live, talked about on tons of different websites and no one is close to matching the classic feel. Just the general community needs to be whipped back into shape and I don't a staff of GMs could do that. The community needs to fix and support itself to overcome all this BS thats going on.

My experience on Quellious wasn't that bad tbh. GMs were always helpful, and all the way up until I quit in 2008 they held frequent GM events etc to mingle with players, I wanna say maybe once every 2 weeks? Once a month at most? They also were good about downtimes.

IMO the biggest guild on the server should be putting in a lot more effort into keeping people around and starting server events. Suppose that is asking for way to much tho.

Events is more the domain of a GM or Guide. Though being a free server and the GM's and Guides have more important things to do then run a level 60 event in Blackburrow, it's probably be more efficient to "hire" on people who's sole job is GM events and nothing else. I'd be willing to do it.

The players do have a role almost as important, if not just as important, as a GM in terms of server life. Especially the more popular/active/vocal players. An MMO is nothing without it's playerbase and the players are one half of the reflection of what your experience on a server/game is going to be like were you to play there. That isn't to say that players can't run events, it's just significantly harder for them to do so. One reason being that a GM can just summon reward items etc on a whim. Players would have to deplete their own resources, such as items or large volumes of plat, many players don't even have and most of the rest aren't willing to part with. Another reason being it's difficult to communicate with other players to start and run an event without the broadcast command on a server that doesn't support a server-wide channel.

Just even hosting a unrest event clearing the zone and rolling on drops would be tons of fun. Tank and spank raiding isn't that fun for long and we can't pvp on off hours. We need something to do!!! Funny how people say how WoW doesn't have a community and you don't need anyone else to enjoy the game. How is one powerhouse (not friendly) guild, no server events and doing nothing but cock blocking content a community? Shit you can't even be a new EQ player here without being trolled to hell. Aren't most of us in our 20s,30s and 40s anyway??? Grow up and enjoy this community based game. Then again it's way more fun to be a dick to someone then to be nice nowa days. I blame society..

met a GM like once to answer a petition lol

Was Quellious like...the only good Live server or something?

I swear I never have had these issues on Quel. From 1999-2008 at least it was a pretty GM/Guide active server. Hell even when I went back after it went F2P I entered PoK from the Tutorial on my first day to find a guide running around with people and, without me even addressing him, he asked if there was anything I needed help with.
