It always comes back to whose pockets are being filled with cash.

So everyone that is wondering why....here is your reason.

Step 1: Use Seq to dominate gods/dragons
Step 2: Sell all loot (seriously check out bobs auctions)
Step 3: Sell Platinum for RL money (Wild shot in the dark theory)
Step 4: Donate a percentage to the server to prevent being banned
Step 5: Profit

It's GENIUS!!!

DA wasn't banned because not ALL members cheat... 1 dumbass did and now he's gone. C'mon Supreme, you're a good dude... but be real.

i don't think anyone in DA has donated a single penny

we don't care about money. we want a server to be running. we never spend money for personal gain. you are borderline retarded and I actually expected better than that from you to make such bullshit claims.

nilbog manages the money btw. he does a good job of making sure it all goes back to the server's costs.

keep being the uninformed public though it's amusing to say the least.

also, might I mention that we care about the NPCs more than we care about players. you are nothing but a little bunch of ants to us. you play in our playground and if you break our rules, you get the hurt put down on you.

also the people who get banned are the ones complaining most of the time; mainly because they broke rules in some way and want to do anything to break the rules again. let me tell you that this doesn't work here, never has never will

i suggest you all follow the rules and accept decisions or gtfo.

This is the second time I've heard a dev say something like this. There may be more that I have missed, but it is the second one I have seen myself.

I've never broken a single rule on the server, never two boxed, never run third party software like SEQ, etc...

I've tried to spread p1999 by word of mouth to former guildmates, rl friends, coworkers, etc...

I certainly feel like I am "owed" anything by the Dev Team. If they wanted to they could pull the plug tonight, shut down the server forever, and I would not be able to say anything, in honesty, except that they gave me a great game to play for over a year, that I loved playing, could play no where else, and they did it all for free.

I get that the Dev motivations have nothing to do with making me happy. They do this for their own reasons, and those reasons may have nothing to do with me, the players, the guilds, or anything else except their own personal desires.

I find it hard, however, to believe that you really think the players here are just "a little bunch of ants". As a player who considers himself loyal to your team and loyal to your project, I find it disappointing if the Dev team really doesn't care at all about the gaming public here---then again, I've already said that it would surprise me if that were really the case. I just don't get why the need to post it.

I'm not saying the players should be your motivation to do anything or that your own reasons shouldn't be paramount to put this much time and other personal resources into the project, but don't the player's matter at all to you? I hope you aren't totally honest when you say that they don't.

meant to say in previous post:

I am **NOT** owed anything.

critical mistake, sorry.

Finally some good drama. Anyways Koota was the one that got banned because he was tracking draco in fear with his SK. Draco poped he sent out a twit and when everyone loged in and got to fear they relized that Draco was actually never up because a GM tricked his dumbass and the only way Koota could of seen that Draco spawn was because it was a GM that made himself Draco to catch his ass. So he then decides to petition and ask what happend to Draco and the GM just banned his ass because the GM relized he was using showeq.

Wrong

Dev's, the coders, have a hardon for coding...the guides, the GM's, have a hardon for the petition que (meaning the players of the server). Although, alot of petitions are some of the most fucking idiotic things ive ever read and i just instantly delete it :/

I couldn't have said it better, myself. Back when I seriously played, the reason I fought so hard against DA and all the bullshit they pulled was because I thought there were enough players that wanted to see a clean game this time around that they could be forced out.

Sadly, P99 has turned into exactly what live was. Whoever cheated better won...and the saddest part of it is that most of the members in the responsible guild(s) don't have a clue.

I still think shit can change come Kunark...but the devs need to step on the pissants that ARE ruining their game. The sandbox is only fun if people keep playing in it.
