I agree with you on the attitude portion as well. Amelinda used to be a laid-back, hard-working guide. Now she's a stressed-out wreck of a hard-working lead server GM. Personally, she's always been pretty nice and lenient when it has come to in-game shenanigans, but professionally she seems very over her head when it comes to the raid scene and the metagame. She is a superb guide yet simply all that's left for real in-game support.

There didn't seem to be anyone left of high authority on the server and she more or less inherited the GM position by default, with the lead developer spending ever-less time on this project (and actually I completely appreciate that Rogean is a gamer first).

The end result is that GM support has been on the obvious wane for the last 5 months, with no bottom in sight. That leads to the manic banning sprees we have seen, and I have no doubt that innocents have suffered because of it.

I think anyone who has been here a significant length of time sees that Amelinda needs help because she is not at all capable of handling the gigantic work load with the implosion of the P99 management infrastructure we've all witnessed.

The sky is falling the sky is falling!

Not.

yeah perma ban for pretty much boosting the falling population up by 2 boxing

honestly, i think its great its not allowed, but there is plenty of it going on and if they want to take the risk of being snitched on then let them do it

It is a free to play server....if they decided to close up shop tomorrow what would/could you do about it? NOTHING!

If they don't want you boxing....don't do it.

I was going to get an ip exemption for my 3 sons as well as myself, but after everything I've read....I'd rather simply let them play something else. There are just too many ways for it to be "interpreted" incorrectly, and I don't want my account banned for something silly one of my kids may do.

Plus, I don't like the idea of the over-the-shoulder that I'm sure takes place to everyone with an IP exemption....."we must ensure they aren't doing something wrong...they have an IP exemption"......

There are only ~700 total people online in primetime...the playerbase isn't what one would call big. Here's hoping too many don't get too pissed off and quit altogether.

I am sure that GM's are not standing around watching over ever IP exception that they hand out .. I sure they have better things to do... There bunch of husband / wife combo's on this server that never get messed with... Only way admins will start watching you is if you give them reason too... Don't let this one fourm sway your like of this server... This fourm was meerly ment as a joke that went a bit to far...

This makes no sense, absolutely none. How would they know if you gave them reason to watch you if they weren't already there watching over your shoulder? You fail to realize that accounts with IP exemptions have a magnifying glass over them from the moment they log on. How do you think 30 accounts or whatever have been permabanned this week? Amelinda ports from zone to zone to check up on what they're doing..and if anything looks suspicious, bam! That's all she's capable of..don't let them fool you into thinking there's some magic involved.

It's been explained in slightly more detail before - there's more to it than this.

Unless you're a former gm/guide or have some other direct line to specific data, I'm gonna have to say you're full of crap.

Plenty of people report suspicious-looking duos and they could easily be spot-checking common powerleveling destinations or high-zem dungeons, etc...

This is the reason red99 population has all but disappeared in the last month.

There have been a quite a few EQ PvP servers before this one. In none of those has this been why the population eventually disappears. NONE. Yet, every time a new EQ PvP server opens, the same thing happens over time - consolidation of a couple major guilds down to 2, then to 1, then oblivion.

Why you assume that's the reason here can only be out of ignorance.
