Feel bad for this guy, but at the end of the day... hes living off my tax dollars and on top of it wants a PERFECT* free server to play on 16 hours a day while collecting unemployment.

Hope for his sake one day he wakes up and realizes he needs to take responsibility for his life situation.

*p99 is already fucking amazing, higher quality than most non-volunteer MMOs out there. <3 p99 staff.

It would be different if RedWJamz was a frequent donater, but you can kinda assume from context that hes not. Complaining about something that's free being slow... its pretty trashy, IMO... I guess maybe he has a tiny bit of a point about not wanting to see the staff let things rot, but that's not something you fix with angry criticism.

He kept bringing up that P99 made more money than he did. Lets assume he's right... so fucking what? What does that have to do with anything? RedWJamz isn't paying for top tier server hosting, data replication, bandwidth, etc... and I'm pretty sure legally they cant pay the GMs or it wont be "non-profit" anymore (thus not legal). It's completely irrelevant and he keeps repeating it over and over.

Rogean was kind of a dick in the stream chat (but I dont really blame him)

And yeah, I dont know why Braknar wasted his time saying "yeah that happens" instead of just doing a quick fix? It was a valid petition...

Non-profit organizations pay their employees, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Pretty sure they just stay in the black and don't become a "profitable" company with a ton of overhead...

This is my experience with Braknar, he responds to petitions faster than say Aussier, but bans first asks questions later, even if you're in game and he un-bans you 30 minutes later.

He also likes to share way too much on why people were banned on streams and in the forums, obviously it was for this "possible" RMT which right in the video he linked the whole situation is explained. (At least this one sided 30k transaction)

I think if the staff went with original EQ's stance of "there are no camps in EQ" (I was told this on live 2 or 3 times and never bothered petitioning again about it, just worried about FTE) they would save themselves a lot of time and could just robo-close those petitions with that response.

They could then go in more depth researching actual issues and bans and maybe send you a tell when you're IN GAME and on the character or account in question.

The fact that they so aggressively police boxing and RMT on this server is one of the reasons the project is as good as it is. Most of what sucks and is toxic about this box comes from the players, not the staff.

Red is a cesspool because of the players that dwell there.

Blue with its queues is a joke because of the neckbeards willing to shit in a Pringles can for pixels.

Played both boxes blue before red opened. Blue was a far bigger cesspool, especially the end game.

I imagine it has a lot less to do with this being a non-for-profit and a lot more to do with the fact that they don't hold any legal control over the EQ material. The fact that DBG recently worked with them on stuff doesn't necessarily mean they can start offering a paid service in the game. Right now they use the donated money to maintain hardware that can be used for any purpose; using that money to pay for service (which has exactly one purpose) would be a very grey area that they likely aren't interested in crossing into.

* Note: I only play a lawyer on P99 forums.
