seems pretty easy to get along with them for me. maybe you should learn to criticize and shed light on things in a more positive way? people that run emus do it for free. They dont need to tolerate things and they dont need to be fair or unbiased. That being said the best course of action for anyone playing on one is to not be even slightly douchey.

my pappy always said, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar

As someone who was involved early on in this server as in pre-alpha.

Im pretty sure a lot of the GM issues boil down to speedz feels the need to micromanage the entire server. That combined with his mood swings due to his cancer is a toxic combination for anyone in change of player relations.

The other thing is they are making false claims about hacking based on tools that are reporting false positives. right now if you assist someone that is out of range it will target them and flag you as using macro quests unlimited targeting but, instead of realizing that this is broken they go around threatening pet classes for having macros with "/assist <tank>; /pet attack".

Speedz has effectively created a culture of fear no one wants to confront him because he loves to swing that ban hammer if you do not agree with him. At the same time the devs will swing the rhetoric of go create your own server while toting that they want to preserve Al'kabor. Where in they have pretty much done the opposite if Al'Kabor was to be recreated it's true form GM intervention would be very minimal. At times i get the feeling like speedz is trying to sell himself to the community as king shit but, all he really does is break things and make up weird rules.

The only problem I have had with this server is that its come down to the players vs the GM's on every little decision. There is only an illusion of a community its really people being forced to play here because no one actually wants to run a server except those that are mentally unstable.
