P99 forum > Sleeper forum

That's why Sleeper folks/P99 ex-pats are still posting here.

Trolls gonna troll.
It's not as if this is new to the forum, or message boards in general. Hell, P99 forums redefine trolling with how petty and stupid some discussions from long time members can become very quickly.

I'm a skeptical guy, so I'd like to see a link to some evidence of this practice or a suggestion of such a practice. Just because people have a different opinion of the server than you doesn't mean that there's some massive conspiracy behind it all.

It's a cold fact that the delay between Kunark's release and Velious's release is, in fact, not classic. If P99 wanted to implement patches based on the timeline of when they were released during Live, they've failed. I don't really place blame on the developers since they make $0 from this server (RMT conspiracies aside). They have full time jobs and probably interests in other things. Because of that, certain bugs that have been reported endlessly are pushed aside in favor of "Velious development."

Go look at the Bugs forum. You'll see pages and pages of legitimate issues (some with multiple pages of discussion) without a single developer response. Those responsible for the health and development of the server rarely ever engage in actual discussion with the members of this forum, Nilbog aside. There just doesn't seem to be a large interest in engaging the community in a professional manner. Maybe that isn't a goal of the server owners, but it would go a long way to build trust.

Stuff.
The tolerance shown by the staff here is excellent, so much criticism daily for not doing something, messing something up, variance this, no adherence to timeline that...

Where would we be on the Velious timeline now? Half way through? We'd get to the end and sure enough there'd be complaints on the forum that people just started playing and there was nothing left to look forward to except some custom content maybe...

Please do keep moaning at volunteers doing something awesome on the interwebs, i'm sure it helps their motivation a shit ton to sit down and work on some content. I'd think yourselves lucky, this server is a paradise in terms of research hours and development stood next to that "other" server with quests/content from LoY and beyond sitting on a Velious server.

I specifically said that I understand the developers have other obligations.
