Was even more of a copout since it hadn't been the ridiculous time frame they were suggesting, it had actually only been 2 weeks.

Because the previous server reset happened the day after we pushed CT into euro times by delaying Nihilum for 5 hours.

We then proceeded to steal every major mob from nihilum for just under 2 weeks until the reset was called for due to a severe lack of runed mithril tunics.

I think you might be confusing a server reset and a service reset.

I think when the problems happened just 2 weeks prior the service/application running on the server was reset. This however was a server reset.

I will say I don't know what windows server they are running on. I run 2003 and 2008 windows servers primarily and we don't reboot for 6-12 months at a time unless some hardware failure happens. However I have no idea what grade hardware the server is running and that would play a large part of when reboots would be required.

Anyway, I think this tin foil hat theory is going a little far considering that red and blue were both reset.

Mob timers start from when servers go live not when they were taken down, hence you proved my point

Nope, I'm nearly positive that I am not incorrect that they were in fact both server resets.

If, in fact, the first one was a service reset however, then the reset 2 weeks later was still not necessary in order to prevent a crash later on or whatever the reason...since there was a previous reset not much earlier.

The server reset was performed without proper prior notice, while the rebel alliance had strangled every mob away from the handicapped members of Nihilum, and put nicely into a time frame that everyone knows we've never been able to contest Nihilum during because of what time core Azrael members get home.

I for one do not get home during the week until ~9PM EST (west coast), Andis is similar, and Lite doesn't get on until usually an hour sometimes 2 before that. Kringe doesn't get finished with his work (though he farms golem wands while at work) until after 9PM.

Having so nicely painted this picture for you, are you now able to see what a load of bs these server resets are for us every time? It takes a week of hard fought grief infested pvp just to push these fights 1-2 hours back to where we can actually contest in guild v guild pvp with proper class balance/leadership.

But with this continually happening immediately after we gain the upper hand, why should we continue to bother?

Wall of text for something that has happened repeatedly to us every time we gain a slight advantage, and written off as us wearing tin foil hats. If these resets actually happened regularly when we weren't contesting (which for about 4-5 weeks at one point we decided to stop, in order to level more people to 60) then I might be in agreement with you.

However, given the circumstances I'm going to proudly wear this tin foil hat.

If one server resets throws you off this bad then eq is not the game for you. EQ is all about adjusting to whatever happens.

One reset does not equal continually...

Wow really? You know this game owned by 1-2 people and not a company? You know this game is free right? They don't have the same obligations to people that some company who you pay for their service owe to you.

One server reset??? ONE??? LOLOLOLOLOL...dude you are beyond help. This has happened to us probably close to 10 times since I came back to this box.

As for the staff and the fact that the game is free and they don't owe us anything? Sure you may be right on that account that they in fact don't owe us anything. However what is the hurt in announcing downtime in advance?

Nihilum actually has inside info (Arzak) on the scheduled downtime whereas the rest of the box does not. Whether its 2-10 hours you guys have that edge and can batphone well in advance of us.
