It mostly comes down to not being able to enforce stuff because there is no true full time moderation. The GMs/Guides are all volunteer and have a real life outside of the emulator. I think they do a great job at what they do. I certainly don't expect them to be able to enforce rules that SOE/Blizzard/whoever the hell ran Aion/etc with a full time workforce weren't able to enforce.

I am also new, and a bit worried about the high end levels/camps/raids... but still a long ways away from that.

Most of the time forums make things look worse than they really are, and in a server like this I am sure rules need to bend in order to keep the population happy.

Also the "I don't recollect" stuff is mostly people lying. The rotation stuff was mostly put in place on servers who had many competitive guilds.... if your server didn't no one cared.

As a newer player on the server and having played EQ from launch to PoP, I agree with the bulk of your post. Points 1 & 4 are the big ones, but 2 & 3 weren't handled or enforced by GM's at all. Maybe pre Kunark, but not after that. Not with the player load the GM's were facing. It was especially routine to see Lower Guk perma camped solely for plat sales in EC, there was never ever a "I got the drop so now it's time for me to go" thing.

I echo your sentiment though. The server's economy resembles the end of Velious era in stride, which makes sense considering how long the server's been running and has been stuck on Kunark. I'm not complaining with that (new player, why should I?) - I get that Velious is to be launched with as much of the content actually working as possible with accurate drops and quests, and that ain't easy with all the necessary research.

The thing that kills the server for me is the "hey, it's 6:30 Pacific Time. Looks like random DDoS is up for the day for more duping and economy wrecking."

I literally have never heard of this kind of situation existing on a different mmo private server of any sort. DDoS from angry banned players? Sure. DDoS for real money profit? WTF? On a routine daily basis.

I'm sticking it out 'cause I think the Admins are up to this current challenge. I have faith.

I agree. We need to be patient and let them do what they do best while clicking adds and donating.

Oh hell no. Nothing good comes from clicking those ads.


Its like if I had a slimy hole in the wall and I said... put your hand inside.. it'll help the server.

ad block plus.

Yeah, just clicking should be enough to do the trick.

Rogean made an in-game GM announcement around 2010 about this. I can't find the forum thread, but I'm sure there is one.

Clicking ads offsets the server farm cost.

Click 1 ad per computer, per day, to help pay for P99 costs.

TheLieka has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself to a player who freely logs on and logs off the very emuserver that they provide, and then questions the manner in which they provide it.

TheLieka would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way.

Otherwise, TheLieka suggest you pick up programming and work some code.

Either way, TheLieka don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
