Edit: I see the above poster was thinking the same grateful thoughts as I was. And Rogean those pics are badass. I see you even have a tab for items dropped on the ground! Haha

agreed

People wonder why "one line of code" takes a long time to put in. If you are so good at it go make your own server and shit it up with crappy code.

I have no stake on r1999 and I am just a lurker here but I love classic EQ and will be back if some of the changes bring back people. FWIW I'd love to see samwise get his way but I know how much work this takes.

Just remember these guys that support this project, for FREE, in there personal time have a skill that is billable in the hundreds to thousands of dollars an hour. To all you college grads that think you are gods gift to coding, go get a real job, with real deadlines, work 60-80 hours a week for some BS corporation that can never give good business requirements. Recode your shit 80 times because users don't understand how to give requirements, get yelled at for not reading minds and not delivering perfect products in ridiculous timeframes. THEN spend all your remaining free time supporting a sever full of whiney know it alls, sitting that in their basement/dorm room smoking weed all day blasting you / each other with racial slurs and homophobic cutdowns in response to every well thought out post/suggestion.

It's no wonder not much gets done around here. Can't say I'd be very motivated to help either. My dream of finding a classic MMO experience that isn't shit up by a community of assholes is slowly dying. Try to log in and enjoy server for what it is, end up listening to a dick conversation in /ooc for 45 minutes. Immersion ruined.

<waits for racially charged/homophobic response>

And this is exactly why I don't do programming as a career. Very well said. I knew about this environment before I chose a different path (although still in the IT Field). Programming is my Hobby. As a job, I'm a network engineer. The two areas compliment eachother very well while keeping me interested in doing both of them.

Also the reason I switched to the business side. I still try to stick up for our developers and intercept shitty requirements where I can.

the database object is a model anyway. you can cache the results in a static variable and reload as necessary in GetRandPVPSaying()

Maybe naez or whoever the fuck this is should work on his teeth issue and stop holding rogean from putting these ones and zeroes in the correct places

We all know about that teeth issue dog and i'm willing to donate @your paypal if you can provide dentist visit receipt

I never claimed it was the most efficient implementation, however it is a practical way to accomplish a realtime updateable system for when you think of new phrases to use with realistically negligible overhead besides nitpicking
