you guys are missing the point. no one is saying they were banned for being an inconsiderate asshat. they are saying that bans can and sometimes will be handed out for simply having a differing opinion. Since when is posting an opposing line of thinking or expressing things that need improving the same as being some antagonistic douchebag?

Your brush paints in very broad strokes sir.

If you can prove anything like that actually happened, you'd have a point.

I don't think many people realize what a massive undertaking it is to develop code and a database that even remotely resembles classic EQ. Look how long P1999 has been around just to get to this point in the timeline.

The server/database needs a lot of time in development for a somewhat classic server -- Anything else has massive faults in the code/database discrepancies that goes in the trash when the players figure out it's garbage and stop logging into the server.

Just look at EpicEmu

Once you have a working codebase.....lua is the only code that has to be updated to release expansions(the quest code)

Xpac's are just a pile of pathing/roaming/database work.......but if you have a few people working on it diligently....6 months is all it should take to put out xpacs. Luclin/PoP will take the longest for sure.....but I still think with the codebase 6months is a very real expectation.

Can anyone say exactly which gm is in the "wannabe raid guild"?

Or is it just some tinfoil hatting by the disgruntled.

Rob and speedz and Zarwayne are all in Destiny

Pretty much describes the entire Lance drama. Its simplifying it, but in essence, there it is.

Funny, because based on what I read, he had been asking for a ban. In fact, Speedz himself made a thread specifically about that incident, talking about all the prior harassment he had put up with from him on several occasions. Given many of the irate posts I saw from him (many of which were uncalled for insults and condescending remarks towards the staff) I'm inclined to to believe he was telling the truth. The guy was an ass, and he got banned for being an ass. It seemed pretty cut and dry.

Iance is a bit ocd. The incompleteness of the database and how it was an act of congress to get basic flaws changed caused a loss respect between he and the staff which eventually led to a mexican standoff with Iance holding a squirt gun.

here is how I see the difference in the two servers:

If you want handed loot on a silver rotational platter, that threatens bans for sniping. And given a full week to kill your mob. TAK is the place for you. They want a very slow pace and for people that don't play a lot this is perfect.

If you want competition with the highs and lows that go with it, The Age of Al'kabor might be the place for you. They aren't going to show any favoritism towards anyone

Please let this be the last post on comparing the two servers in the Project 2002 post. We are not here to encite an argument, but to get excited about a new server

It doesn't matter where his frustration stemmed. It didn't give him grounds to be a total dick to the staff, and he ultimately paid the price for it.

I got banned for no good reason besides having an opinion and standing up for it. Speedz and anybody else involved has yet to post any proof of me breaking any rules.
Speedz claims I did all kinds of stuff, anyone is welcome to make him back up any of it, I have nothing to hide.
Anyhow I am over it, and wouldn't return to that server regardless.
