Has anyone been banned yet on 'The Sleeper' for use of third-party-programs(IP or Acount)? The efforts to stop bad behavior don't seem to be logged on their fourms...

Sirken · #**472** 05-15-2013, 02:13 PM

ive been on a few eqemu staffs, and no staff has ever made that public knowledge.

Moop · #**473** 05-15-2013, 02:25 PM

well, then I'm curious if he is banning anyone or not - and is choosing to use IP or Account banning... the population seems to have dropped quite a bit, I doubt it's due to banning, but IP banning those that still play on the server certainly would not help the decreasing population, eh.

I haven't played in a week or so myself. How much has it dropped, by toons online during primetime?

Reiker000 · #**475** 05-15-2013, 03:18 PM

The population has dropped because the devs are incompetent and rude to their player base, and people are realizing the server sucks and is never getting any better.

Mistake imo

Well, yeah, that's pretty much what got me to stop playing. But that's not what I asked - I was curious how much it had dropped. 2-3 weeks ago it was about ~150 non-anon/rp toons online during prime time.

I would disagree in that it IS getting better, but it has soooo far to go, that I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe in a year or two, but I don't feel like leveling up through all the broken content and mechanics (and to see Kegz on rerolled claim everything is 100% fine and everyone is trolls, when the bug forum is overflowing with issues).

Also, part of the reason I was interested in it was the "mature" population and GMs, and quickly learned that was not to be found there. That Grim guy, sheesh.

This is the kind of shit that will never be fixed no matter how many times they patch the server. Kegz raged out on me in tells because I was reporting too much shit, and then begged me to help him dev his sinking ship of a server after giving me the title of Whiner. And then my legitimate bug reports were deleted off the forum. They'd rather create the illusion that everything is working fine and silence people trying to help, instead of actually fix the piece of shit server. This thing's been in development for 2 and a half years and it's essentially stock PEQ with expansions disabled with a handful of changes to the AC code.

And speaking of immature GMs, that Sloan guy is a real piece of work. He changed his name after finding out there was a Sloan on P99 so I can't remember what stupid name he goes by now. But a few days before I quit I /ooc'ed WTS nude pics of Tralina, and then suddenly I lost all ability to communicate. I couldn't continue the conversations I was having in tells, couldn't talk to my group, etc. I jumped into Mumble and raged out on this guy, who told me "nudity is not allowed on The Sleeper" over and over. He sounded like the nerdiest 14 year old virgin and is possibly one of the dumbest people I've ever spoken to. This is your "head of customer service" on this server.

It's a shit fest, get out now. I was one of the biggest supporters of this server for the first couple weeks, because it's healthy to have alternative servers to pressure each other to improve. But this is not the one. It'll be dead within a couple months.

Bruman · #**479** 05-15-2013, 04:08 PM

Heh, I don't blame him for banning your chat, since you were obviously trolling, but I probably would've restricted it to OOC. And his "reasoning" on mumble is pretty funny.

Moop · #**480** 05-15-2013, 04:23 PM

So, what now? Reiker, I agree with your position on a competent alternative to P99... but what else is available?

The Sleeper added some flavor, mostly in allowing 2-box teams - but it just kinda seems like it's dying now...
Al-Kabor seems like pretty neat place to play, most box using a MAC - which seems much more difficult with the PC hack.
Then... there's this here P99. Great server, but a bit too 'established' for my taste.
