Do P99 Devs, GMs and Guides Have Jobs?

Sometimes I think it wouldn't suck so badly if we had a few of the RNF mega-nerds as Staff instead, who actually took this shit seriously.

I would have a hard time buying they would be good at staff because of their personal connections (and distastes) for much of their peers. Staff requires a certain disconnection from all the bullshit drama that occurs in RNF. Even though a lot of it is just for fun, those perceptions will carry into staff, and we can't have it. Also, the perception that we don't take this seriously is a little funny. Why would I do something as a volunteer for 10+ hours a week that I don't take seriously?

10+ hours a week in one post, a few minutes at a time when you "have" the time in another... which is it? I can tell you one thing, you are not online enough or serious enough about your position to make a difference in the way in which Guides and GMs were intended.

How about banning some people for violating the PnP? How about some raid suspensions for repeated violations? How about doing your JOB?

LOL.

that should not go for naught due to uncaring developers and GMs.

You're concluding the developers and GM's are uncaring because they aren't policing the server exactly the way you'd like them to. I don't think that's something you should be so bitterly angry at them for.

If you're so emotionally invested that you feel the need to go Full Harrison on them and spew your shit all over the forums because you think you're going to contribute to the salvation of the server, maybe you need to step away and accept that they aren't going to be able to make you happy.

Not said enough- Thanks guides/devs for volunteering your time to make this server a fun place!

There is very little to no impetus for me to be polite, or subtle, or likeable, since I did all that with my other account and it was banned regardless.

I'm not talking about you being less-than-gentile or something. I'm talking about how every single thing you post is a rant about the endgame that is entirely premised on the FAULTY premise that the server and all the hours everyone spends on it are meaningless just because TMO dominates the raid scene.


Example:

People are upset because the game mechanics under Variance (something that never existed on this Earth until P99) favor zerg guilds unClassically, resulting in the above.

People are upset because this has been THE issue on P99 for a long time now, and even though steps were about to be made in the right direction, they were recently reversed and no explanation was given as to why.

People are upset because the developers seem to favor TMO in game mechanics and GMs seem to favor them in rulings at every opportunity to do so.

People are upset because they see the PnP continuously trampled by a single group of people on this server, and are never punished for it.

People are upset because they see their loyalty and time put into this server all becoming meaningless due to an artificially created status quo that seems extremely sketchy and nefarious and perhaps is supporting Random Mother Theories.

You posted that in a thread that was about no drop being removed, in a thread where no one before you had mentioned the devs, variance, the raid scene, TMO, or people being upset about loot, PnP, or anything like that. You even went down the staff RMT conspiracy road, for Christ's sake. You single-handedly took everything that populates R&F posts and brought it into a normal server-chat thread.


No, the raid scene is probably not ideal, and most people agree. But raiding is just one small facet of the game of EQ, especially since we're just talking about gods/dragons because anyone can still do fear/hate/sky/chardok/whatever, still "raiding." The raid scene being flawed doesn't warrant whining about how the server sucks, the staff doesn't care about anything, the staff is incompetent, TMO are evil, etc.

I'm always amazed at how mad and personally offended people get about a game. I'd like to meet these people in real life, to see what their day-to-day is like.

That was a due response to someone who didn't deserve an acknowledgement in the first place.

I love you and appreciate your dedication. <3

Don't know what's going on here but Enslaved sounds WAY too immersed in Everquest and extremely butthurt.

Nobody is twisting your elbow forcing you to play here, kid. If you don't like it, go kick rocks.

This guy knows absolutely everything that is going on, from Indonesia.

a little racist are we? what does me playing from indo have anything to do with my opinion that the staff is not involved in RMT as a growing number of bandwagoners are blindly accepting?

typical staff-RMT-crier, already banned from the game, caught cheating says he "did it because other people do it and get away with it.. get unbanned etc.."

those people get unbanned because they intelligently and maturely dealt with the issue and led the staff to believe they wouldnt do it again. well some of them did do it again, and certainly have gotten banned / will be banned a second time. not only that its also harder to get unbanned now because the staff is losing trust in the playerbase. judging by the way you accuse those in charge of cheating themselves, you are not presenting yourself as intelligent or mature and will never see your old chars again
