Sometimes I think it wouldn't suck so badly if we had a few of the RNF mega-nerds as Staff instead, who actually took this shit seriously.

I would have a hard time buying they would be good at staff because of their personal connections (and distastes) for much of their peers. Staff requires a certain disconnection from all the bullshit drama that occurs in RNF. Even though a lot of it is just for fun, those perceptions will carry into staff, and we can't have it. Also, the perception that we don't take this seriously is a little funny. Why would I do something as a volunteer for 10+ hours a week that I don't take seriously?

10+ hours a week in one post, a few minutes at a time when you "have" the time in another... which is it? I can tell you one thing, you are not online enough or serious enough about your position to make a difference in the way in which Guides and GMs were intended.

How about banning some people for violating the PnP? How about some raid suspensions for repeated violations? How about doing your JOB?

LOL.

That was a due response to someone who didn't deserve an acknowledgement in the first place.

I love you and appreciate your dedication. <3

Don't know what's going on here but Enslaved sounds WAY too immersed in Everquest and extremely butthurt.

Nobody is twisting your elbow forcing you to play here, kid. If you don't like it, go kick rocks.

I'm always amazed at how mad and personally offended people get about a game. I'd like to meet these people in real life, to see what their day-to-day is like.

Well said.

So does anyone on the P99 staff have a job? If they're not getting paid, then the answer is no. They're volunteers. The RnF trolls shouting about staff not doing their jobs are not only rude and ungrateful, they're also factually incorrect.

I have a real life job; IT Director of my company.

My 'job' for p99 is spending my free time how I see fit. When I started the project, my goal was to recreate classic everquest so that it may exist somewhere. That continues to be my goal.

It (classic eq) continues to be lost over time as archived pages and historical information vanish.

Visitors to this museum in progress may litter or complain about posted rules, but it doesn't change the objective.
