I don't like the idea of exp week, probably because I'm already 50 and have no desire to do it over again lol.

On a different note, I really hope this exp bonus is a one time thing, even if the server comes down again. I'm not sure anyone will understand or be familiar with my reference, but during the Korean war, American PoWs were brainwashed through a pretty simple process: getting them to do things they would not normally do one step at a time, eventually building up to make these PoWs become completely irrational and change allegiances to the Korean side.

I guess this will be a better example:Getting a new car and telling your friends not to eat or drink in it. One of your friends asks if they can chew gum, and you don't want to say yes but you comply. Next, someone asks if they can bring a drink in your car, and once again, you don't want to say yes, but you do. Taking that first little step makes one that much more inclined to take another little step.

Anyways, I'm rambling, but the point of this is, The GMs are granting this 50% exp bonus for the downtime. I hope this will be a one time thing, but I worry the GMs may be more easily inclined to grant future exp bonuses or things of this nature. I also saw something about people receiving potential prizes or gifts for their donations. It's fine if we have to pay for this game, which I'd be more than willing to, but trading money for advantages is going to ruin this server and make it like all the other emulated servers.

Hopefully I don't get flamed for this, I'm just expressing my concerns for the well-being of the server.

Adding a source mainly for credibility, so people can't rampantly flame: http://www.psychologistworld.com/inf...ainwashing.php

Haha, Juice talking about the ruining of the server -- when he doe more to contribute to people leaving than any other 20 people combined. Lets take a little test --

To which character do all of the following apply?

1) Frequent ragequits groups leaving them with no tank, sometimes taking shaman bot with him.
2) Kicks people from group for winning rolls on rare, but crappy items that he wanted.
3) Gets kicked from guild(s) after exhibiting behavior #2 above.
4) Admits on multiple occassions to 2 boxing (btw 2 boxing means controlling 2 characters at the same time, not necessarily on the same computer).
5) Forces groups to reform without him because hes a blithering idiot.

I am sure that this list isnt exhaustive as I these are just the items I witnessed personally before i added Juice to /ignore.

Oh yeah, if you answered Juice, congratulations, you have aced the quiz.

Look, this was completely irrelevant to what I said and quite unnecessary. I've made huge efforts to better my reputation, and I know I have ragequitted which is a very dick thing to do. I've apologized to the people I've wronged that show moderate respect and understanding. Also, I thought you ignored what I said yet you responded? Another thing, I added a well thought out opinion to this discussion, if you want to flame me, at least do so with an equally intelligent reply.

Edit: I never two box nor have ever said anything of the sort. Psyduck is my brother and he is on quite frequently when I'm not. Go talk to him or something before jumping to conclusions.

Well said Jilena, also, I cast my internet-ballot in favor of no bonus, that is all.

Being an older, casual player myself, I also absolutely agree with that.

Still, I am not in favor of any bonus xp events, probably because it reminds me of the time, when SOE started these things (certainly not before PoP, that's when things already went downhill).

Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort of the server admins. I just have a different opinion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

it is intersting that when i first met you it was a friend playing in a different location, then it moved to a brother in a different room -- whats next? Your dog sitting next to you?

As far as jumping to conclusions goes, screenshots speak for themselves. The classic experience is ruined by cheaters.

look, only reason i can see as to why juice hasn't called YOU out on being an asshole is because he is actually TRYING to be a nice guy for once, (noting that i understand he's been a jackass in the past to his group members and others.. but he is trying to turn that around.) screenshots? post them!

and he most likely said "friend" instead of brother because he realized he (juice) was being a jerk and didn't want psyduck to look bad. they are two completely different people, BROTHERS at that, one living at home, one living outside the home. how is that so fucking difficult to comprehend? they grew up playing the game together, so when they found this server, why wouldn't they want to play it together as well?

now STFU, and get back to the fucking topic.. SERVER RETURN

lol. sticking up for a friend = armchair psychologist? i guess you're right.. now i am so hurt by your attempt at a witty insult, i may go start a thread about you in rants and flames! wahhhhhhhhh ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i'm just saying, he gave an opinion, and more than one person brought in something completely irrelevant. rather than give reasons as to why he's a "bad tank" or "hurting the server by cheating" or "two boxing" how about give reasons as to why you think his argument is invalid? EPIPHANY!

oh how i love internet forums
