to whoever has been Crashing Sol B on Azrael

[Jenni D]

I arent on any side of any fence.
Raided enough on blue and live to care here on red. just offering an opinon that banning individuals doesnt stop anything if the collective dont respect the gm's decisions

I was there for that Ragefire attempt a few weeks ago. We had no idea you guys were in there until Shadowseed and I (on Saidin) zoned in and started raining you guys. I don't know if the zone had crashed right before but I think someone would have said something in TS if we knew you were there. I was camping stuff in sola on Saidin and would check solb every few phs. I'm assuming this is the time you were talking about. The only thing I did notice was that half of you were naked so I assume you wiped. Maybe it has something to do with how you guys train the giants away instead of killing them, like Magi Rokyll.

The plot thickens

really doubt it would have to do with training mobs around

during burning woods kites i've had over 300 mobs in one spot at once dozens of times

zone has never ever crashed

Thats an open zone though. Not saying having a shit ton of mobs could crash a zone. I know pathing is kind of messed up on this server in some spots. Just saying that I would look into what you guys were doing with the other mobs when the zone crashed. Maybe if you train them and they path back a certain way, it crashes the zone. Mobs shouldn't walk through walls and its possible they could crash the zone this way.

When you engage mobs that AE like dragons, and have pathing issues there was always a chance for people to LD. The zone really wouldn't crash but a large group of people might LD.

From the information I have gathered from my own guild mates on the events. I have no reason to believe that the zone even crashed during this event but many players went LD more then likely as to what was described as above.

Oh and trust me, I would NEVER accept someone knowing crashing a zone.

How could you be playing MMO's as far back as EQ classic and not know the difference between frame rate lag, and latency lag.

The only way a group of people could all go LD at once is:

A: They all have the same isp provider on the same node and it crashed

B: They all have inferior graphic's cards for a game over 15 year's old that a modern day tablet could run.

Either way the chances for either are astronomically low, if not down right impossible.


As to the issue of Ban's, everyone is asking the wrong question.

Why ban by account when ban's can be issued by IP or Mac address just like IP exemptions are made for different player's living in the same home. That would be a perma fix and hard goodbye for any hacker's.

And no ghosting will not work AT ALL!

Ghosting is used to steal info or hack a system for a limited duration of time it's meant to delay a trace. It cannot work on a server client connection that requires packets to and from the source to destination. The zones load from your hard drive the mobs from the server. Half of Eq is client, half server, it needs a direct path to run.

Your skill in Common Sense has increased 101!

nothing was being fought we were just sitting there, and Zade said himself he seen sol B go "down"

Twainz isn't talking about any of the 2 time the zone crashed on Azrael either, just non-factoring it up
