That doesn't make any sense.

Whoever said removing titles was my decision? Hah, see how things can be misconstrued when assumptions are made?

I was going to quote girth and say that he's going to use the personal profile as his justification, but figured why bother.

What was in his profile wasn't even that bad rofl, I'm sure you've heard so much worse Rogean.

[Alawen Everywhere]

I'd like to apologize on behalf of my guildmates who are apparently too cool for that sort of thing. I don't think the attitude demonstrated here was appropriate for expressing disagreement with a rules change.

[Bossco]

Excuse me, by "you" I should have said "the staff"

You are the face of this operation, so staff decisions in general do reflect upon you in the eyes of the community.

Also, didn't you post in the FoH forums that you had decided to take away the titles?

You guys do realize Rogean is the "Server Administrator", he makes the server hardware go vroom vroom, fights the ddos guy, assembles patches, and does C++ source work...and he does an excellent job at all of those.

He has the authority to make changes, absolutely, but if you want to disagree with rules, you should probably speak to me since I'm actually the owner and project manager? I don't see my inbox blowing up, its all happening openly on the forums.

Don't blame Rogean for changes made.. because any high-profile developer change isn't made independently.

[Otto]

It was never said anywhere that it was his decision to remove titles explicitly.

Besides, this is about disagreeing with the manner in which things were handled by both parties.

[Zexa]

All I know is I read his first post saying "I should just remove titles all together" followed by "All titles will be removed next patch" after more heckling.

[Bossco]

Okay, my mistake - revert to my comment about replacing "you" with "the staff"

Either way, tells are private, and inspect window is a personal space. Bans? Really?

[Senadin]

So WHY were the titles removed?

I mean if you are the first to accomplish something of great significance that should count?

Why remove them?

Because they weren't available in classic EQ.

We'll try and create events for titles, but not mass-disperse them. Individual titles will not just be handed out either. There are plenty in EQ lore, "of Qeynos", all the botb, test of tactics, royal rumble, etc.

If you can provide evidence that it existed in Live, we will try and create an event where it is obtainable. They were definitely not common.

I also posted some thoughts of the rest of the available botb titles in a thread somewhere.
