Havn't been around for a while, but seems like what happend was someone in nihilum got bind camped to 52, and then exp restored, then sirken in the spirit of "being fair" went back to all the petitions that were related to bind camping exp loss got there toons restored.

server is dead. ill still remain to play here obviously. but the ability to contest nihi has gone out the window on the server reset and now this, the majority of our guild doesn't log in anymore.

you cant run a server with noone giving a shit. and only one person giving a shit 1 day out of the month. you guys should have had new GM blood in here a long time ago.

I logged in for 2 minutes to troll prince last night. It was the first time I've logged in for the last 2-3 months.

I did a /who azrael, was 20 on the dot.

/who force, 11.

Did a /who Nihilum, 10.

Forumquest.

everyone came back to this box to give it a real go, server pop was up past 200 on weekdays, and now its back at 80. through no real fault of the playbase. This was pure server admins. through and through. bad calls left and right.

we didn't even get a chance to pvp nihi for more then 1-2 weeks before GM calls decimated our ranks. I watched it happen. it was such a moral killer that nothing was even said, nothing. people just stopped logging in once it became clear that we wern't going to get a fair shake.

Am i saying favortism? no

what i am saying? poor decision making from the top down.

This is sad because its true, server reset on a Tuesday mid afternoon killed it for me. Myself and I'm sure a ton others were amped for thy Friday, two big forces knowing spawn timers ready to go head to head and then...reset. When the weather is getting warm outside and sunny, the worst possible thing you could do to a video game server pop is the confusion and absence of transparency that took place last month with decisions.

I get it, we're just players and mean nothing and don't pay for anything that's fine. Lots of good times were had and considering everything I think Lite did a good job organizing the underdogs, and Kringe seemed like a legit guy even though I only knew him for few weeks. Just wish we all could've enjoyed more mass PvP before we got to this point.

This....I think the main problem is that paymelinda left such a bitter taste in everyone's mouth, that people just get paranoid when they see something that benefits nihi.

Nihilum being on the ropes for 2 weeks, after having ran the server a year. Then magically server reset at their primest of prime time, after the opposition took a tactical strategy to push it out of those time slots. That demoralized so many of azrael's players. The convenient chardok faction changes, the uncharmable raptors a week after azrael does faydadar.

I am not placing blames anywhere, and for all I know it could all be coincidences. Just saying, people's paranoia and demoralization when they start suspecting things, is justified.

exactly this, im willing to give the benefit of the doubt and say this wasn't favortism or corruption. because i honestly don't believe it is.

just gross negligence on server staff side to not see any of this coming, continuous sketchy ill defined calls which id say is more a problem with the guides not having direct command and control and access to the proper authorities on the box. and #2 people who have no idea what is going on with the box having that authority.

i cannot for the life of me figure out why a server reset was called in such a volitile situation. It's like whoever did it had no input from red at all. had no idea what the concequences where going to be. the right call would have been to set some kinda random reset timer. not "server is going down because its been 42 days". thats not random at all...

you guys killed the box. we got everyone here and ready and willing, and you guys killed it. the final nail was roggehs exp rez's and then sirken coming and "making it right" with everyone else who apparently comes last even though they where bind camped first? i generally have a dont attack the server GM's policy but you guys really dropped the ball on this.

The incredible irony of the guy who I got hundreds of 100% GM rez's from Amelinda for, over the yells and cries of Nihilum at the time who said it was "corrupt", to now come out against the same for Roggeh.

Patch Date: Sunday, February 17th, 2013

so you had ten days, much like Nihilum, to continue to farm Royals and find a few hours on a rainy February afternoon [or 4am for Azrael Prime Time] to farm some chardok faction, but instead you decided to make 10,000 QQ posts. What happened to Faydedar during this time, you had another Faydedar to use raptors but mysteriously you were unable to kill him nonetheless? In fact, you never even contested him. Patches have happened at all times on this server, as well as server resets, stop acting like this had anything to do with you this time. I'm sorry that 3am on a Friday / Saturday is your guilds prime time, but for the rest of us normal people, 9pm EST is Prime Time and that's when the dragons are available currently. I'm glad that you've revealed your true intentions though, you don't give a lick about "pvp competition" you just want mobs to pop when Nihilum is asleep in bed so you can farm pixels uncontested like a true bluebie. Thanks for confirming that pal.
