Keep banning entire guilds for several months, Sirken.
I have supported you for years man, but you are out of touch on this one.

What benefit does it have on a time locked Everquest server to ban guilds of players who may never return? This benefits nobody. Could be AM or Tempest or Core. It doesnt matter.

This is starting to look like blatant targeting on a specific group of players. In the end, the only person this falls on is you and your legacy.

For all the good you have done here you are starting to look like the micromanaging/targeting GM. Where is the mercy?



Just disband the guild already and get it over with. This passive aggressive approach will eventually erode the player base and whatever faith is left in the staff.

Uthgaard, we miss you.

This is really sad, sounds like a simple and inconsequential mistake was made and a 30 day extension + officer suspension feels very disproportionate. Especially if the prior extensions were really due to people logging into long-abandoned accounts solely to damage the guild.

<Core> members have always been extremely kind and cool to me, I posted an example of that on their guild recruitment page after they gave me a very expensive spell for free just because it dropped and I needed it (I wasn't even present for the kill, I had just lamented the cost of the spell to a Core member privately). I'm not even in their guild! I've also met a few others who have basically been handed their epic by <Core>, one of whom I met because a Core member asked him to rez my corpse and he explained he feels indebted to them because they handed him a Ragefire pearl.

I could understand this a bit better if they were habitually training competing raids, scamming people, RMTing, etc. but they've always been kind and helpful in my experience and it sucks that they're locked out of so much content over technicalities.

Whoops, meant to say Ragefire HEART, not PEARL. The thing he drops for epic, not the thing to spawn him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

tempest logging into core chars and probably vice versa sounds like trying to get around raid rules to me

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Told this story to my co worker who still plays on live. I should have taken a picture of his face. He was completely baffled, and intrigued at the same time.

To be fair you could get the same reaction telling him about how we’ve been raiding here. Socking spawns. Tracking 16-72 hour windows. FTE races line ups for 16 hours with 20+ people. Anyone who participates here is dong so out of pure addiction and sunk cost.

Yep! He has played since live launched and it's like I am telling a BS fairy tale when I describe the p99 endgame to him.

P99 truly is a magical kingdom.

Punishment seems way out of proportion.

I mean...really? Helping a monk do a part of his epic quest?

I agree with the perception of "core people are kind and helpful." Have been a benefactor of that myself. Just look at Franswa. That guy is one of the classiest, most generous players on P99.

I don't understand why the staff has it out for these guys.
