Discussion: Play Nice (Training, Bind Camping)

[Pudge]

he played emu pvp for a whole year!

Within the contexts of the idea discussed, if you were someone who barely played emu's or wasn't familiar with EQlive at all, that makes who you are an entirely relevant thing.

Searyx and I go back too, but his experience running a server/ being well versed in coding/ being in top guilds on emu servers is not really a crutch I use to self-validate on a position I take.

Whatevs though. Your point is the burden of proof regarding intent. It can be found in certain circumstances. I doubt it will be a common thing, but if GM's want to give it an unbiased shot, let 'em, I say. We understand that the inverse of that is being falsely accused and consequently banned or shunned for something one didn't do. But that's not a terrible concern if you're not a dick hole that likes and/ or views training as natural. And it is in some ways, but in other ways it's fucked. I'm sure GM's understand that.

I'm sure you mean you're, as in you're a moron. I'm sure your memories of running away at the slightest chance of pvp happening stem from your nobody status on tz and your shit guild gating away whenever anyone else tried to contest them. You see, in non pussy guilds you'll actually stay and position yourself to gain the advantage once you see them zone into hate and fight for innoruuk rather than trying to ninja him and gate out. I know, this is a scary and foreign concept to you right?

Really, I'm sure that you must either be the most moronic person on these forums or a troll at this point.

TRAINING MUST BE LEGAL TO PROMOTE MASS PVP HURRRRR.

You mean these valid points??? They have all been addressed, YOUR not giving a valid reason for YT...

Btw, nice edit~

and yes, I agree there needs to be some rule against training. It's pretty clear what effect a 'no rules' ruleset had on previous boxes, i.e. destroying the population

Did not kill live~
What killed the VZ/TZ Emu server was admin, not the 1 week period of no rules~

Right, and I am advocating zero GM interaction regarding any PnP. On a Live server, or with completely unbiased / governed / supervised / professional in game GM staffing its one thing... but when the staff is just people that put in free time, likely have friends on the server, or even their own chars... You start to get all the forum drama regarding favoritism, corruption, friends, donations etc etc.

This is the point that Lethdar seems to have skipped in the past 10+ pages, and why his responses are total shit.

QUAD POST!

Fuk'd up the first one... replace YT with Training... long day. Hold on, wait... his points seem to be more slanted towards YT in that post... and not PnP / Training...

Am I missing some post of his where he blows the argument out of the water?

Sleeping.

5 post!!!!!!!!!!!!


Neg, we have had it out on several occasions, but I understand where his arguments come from, and dont let past stupid shit from VZ/TZ cloud what he says. And he seems to do the same (not sure if he is sure who I am or not, and it really doesnt matter) for me.

For instance, he rock'd the VZ/TZ box with some bad calls... loot tables etc. Shit happens, he wanted to bottleneck gear cause server was getting flooded. And we had some times where I got banned from VZ/TZ forums for flaming him.

But when I saw him on P99, I tossed him 2500plat, and some newbie items for the TZT crew.

What was the saying that guy had in his VZ/TZ forum sig? "SZ might have been the hardest, VZ might have been the most skilled, RZ might have been the original, but TZ was the best"? I would help anyone from TZ on this EMU server.

Now, time to dick the wife down, and crash.

I wouldn't make the mistake of speculating on the ethical decisions/ choices made by Rogean and comparing them to someone like Voidd or any other developers we've run through the ringer that have, as a fundamental difference, not only wanted to create a server, but play on them as if they were their playgrounds too.

I get the cynicism, but this is a different set of guys running things here. Most developers or players had a conflict of interest to begin with and should never have been chosen to represent the past servers, let alone uphold their integrity (Zenaitha, that hacking Cleric guy in my guild, the high elf? etc). But I'm not inductively going to say that because it happened all the fucking time in the past, that it's necessarily doomed to happen here. Those people who pulled part of the PvP community to play as guides were misguided, to put it lightly.

hey hey, anyone who hosts a server like that deserves some respect. voidd wasn't always around, but i doubt he played a char himself. he was barely even available to upkeep the server with all the shit he had going on.

give some respect! remember who brought you, and us all, where we are today


edit: also keegan.

And handed out items, breaking the last illusion of a legit server.
