Another Dev Bites the dust. - Page 4

I'm gonna step in here and say this:

While the majority of the population may be like you are describing, remember what you did in your time here as a developer is for the greater good; for classic EverQuest. You will be missed, even if they don't respect you being missed.

Best of luck in life.

It's not their responsibility to babysit the community.

Of course not, but their attempt here is to recreate classic, which did not have random 7-9 day spawns. Even worse, there are far more capable level 50's than classic.

The turnover rate of players is already high. When end game is a sock fest instead of the exciting race it was in classic, it's even worse. When the same people on my friends list have logged in since the server opened don't show up anymore, there might be an issue. Will Kunark fix that if they keep the current boss spawn system? Sure, temporarily. The shit I used to hear every day about how excited people were about raiding in Kunark has turned into "well... I'll be happy do some sebilis I guess?"

Of course the devs will say they don't do it for the players, but I highly doubt they would have a team of devs if only 5 players were on the server even if nilbog says otherwise. It's a sense of accomplishment to see 800 players a night knowing 90%+ of the players that come to this server stayed or left happy. I wouldn't actually mind contributing myself since I actually have free time at work, but, lol... I don't see them allowing that.

I am echoing the sentiments of many past and present players who would *love* to continue this end game as it was in classic. I've done it in a mostly polite manner, and there has been nothing back from devs but dismissal. The "best" reason I've seen out of nilbog for not doing simulated patch days was that the "creators probably wouldn't have wanted respawn on hardware down time," which I find hard to believe considering how long it lasted.

I feel the real reason is they don't want to "give in to the players," or set a precedent for doing so. Though, one would think with the success from the database crash and rogeans respawn a couple weeks ago....

Awww. I don't think I have ever interracted with you outside of IRC but I am sad to see anyone who spent their personal time giving me this happy server to play on go. Especially on less than the happiest of terms. I love the EQ drama but I guess I could see it getting old when it's directed your way regularly.

Best of luck!

Also I think the tag system is the best thing that ever happened to these forums. Every time I scroll down and read something random about alawen or xyz guild I smile a little. With my penis.

I agree with Secrets. I just wish you guys didn't feel like the entire community was against you. I think it just feels that way because 80 % of the posters are trolls. It's the sad truth of how message boards work i think :/

Love what you guys do, have no complaints personally, accept the asshats that take the "rules" to new level and have no respect for a fellow eq gamer. There is always going to be the doushbag that bitches about anything and everything. Ban hammer imo =). Sorry to see you go and thanks for all the work you put in man (for real)

mitic · #37 02-10-2011, 05:30 AM

what happened so bad for taking this decision? some random kids nerdraging in kunark forum? if so, why was no action taken by forum-mods or ingame-gms?

anyways, thanks for your time you "wasted" (?) on the project! <3

Mongoloids like you are the case in point of the original post, and what could bring the server down.

Funny thing is not a single person would rather have you stay and a dev leave, you basically shit up the server for all of us.

i dont agree on the mongoloids part but i do on the rest since ive experienced it already once on VZ/TZ

as a dev you need a clear mind and be 100% troll-resistant or a server could die in a second (as seen on vz/tz)

The truth says,

This is Secerets photo. Why have you posted his emotions?

Bye.

Appreciate your work, but not so much for your reason for leaving. If you can't see that the vast majority appreciate the work you do, but then the few who habitually complain about everything have gotten to you, then i question your reasons for doing it in the first place.

I'm assuming you had a bad experience whilst playing the game? i bet most people have had a bad experience at some point, they don't let it get to them, or QQ over how the community is so bad.

As said, i appreciate the time you spent to help develop this server.
