Pro Tip: Notice all of those conducting personal attacks...those are the true "toxic" players on this server.

your server is now RnF and your new guild leader is chortles. all of the players here are toxic. hope this helps

And of course, instancing/rotations.

The very worst lifetime classic Everquest addicts were scattered between many servers. Now they are split between the two p1999s, takp and the prog servers.

Plus it is easier to hit top end when you have more than 2 years to do it and a lifetime of knowledge with a lifestyle that has been groomed entirely to fit around EQ.

Too many addicts, not enough servers.

Too many addicts, not enough oversite to keep them in line. The state of the server is 100% due to mismanagement by staff/csr.

Mismanagement would imply failure of their objectives. Seems like they're managing it exactly as they mean to, whether we like it or not.

Plays here for over a decade and tells the volunteer staff that they’re mismanaging things after they spent thousands of hours of their own free time and also money so that he can play a game he’s been addicted to for 23 years

Volunteering and doing a shit job doesn't mean you're above reproach. If you can't do it because you lack the knowledge, the will, or the time then maybe step aside. The server could actually be a great place to play but the serial rule breakers and toxic fuckwits are allowed to thrive and given either zero punishment or slaps on the wrist after years of infractions.

There are roughly 25-50 garbage tier toxic neckbeards that hold raiding on blue hostage. They constantly ignore rules, break rules, harass people... etc. They've been caught on video and voice admitting to not caring about said rules or advocating that their guild ignore/break rules and staff does nothing.

I'll say it again: the shit state of the server is entirely due to mismanagement by the box owners and staff/csr.

I honestly believe you're 100% correct. I just don't think anyone in charge really cares too much about this project anymore. It's been on life support for a while. Communication is nearly non existent and issue on top of issue is completely ignored for very extended periods of time.

That said I'm not really blaming them. If I was running this shitshow I think I would've given up on caring about the day to day drama and nonsense a long time ago as well.
