Good.
Staff on Live were 99% useless for actual issues that we've come to take for granted here on P99. Petitions for botched MQs, trade scammers, lost drop transfers, summoning rotted corpses were met 99 time out of a 100 with a polite "fuck off". Not saying it never happened, there was some discretion here and there, but it was definitely not common place. The line was if you dropped something on the ground and the server went down/couldn't log on or you hit the trade button that was a done deal regardless of what was "said" between parties so you better be sure of what you were doing.
It's what drove the community into actually giving a fuck about reputation and community was what drove EQ. Trust was an important commodity for not just sellers but also buyers, I mean people didn't sell string charges like they do here when there was a good chance if some random level 50 stranger walked off with your strings you were simply out of luck.
The more the GMs take their hands off of issues that should be in the hands of the players the better in the long run. Less work for them and more classic for us.
