New patch is good, friendly PSA from Dr. Nirgon

[heartbrand]

My suggested rules?

1) Enforce name policy again, tons of non classic ridiculous offensive name all over the place.

2) ninja looting a-ok allow PVP and reputation to solve it

3) training needs to be frapsed and the video viewed by two GMs who can enforce anything from nothing to two weeks depending upon severity, but also respecting the CLASSIC no gm intervention zones, planes + vp

4) griefing such as porting people to bad spots, changing binds, a-ok, allow server to police

5) remove ooc or limit to five minute per ooc with warning then two week then perma removal of ooc ability for offensive ooc (this is key because it hurts the pop)

6) ignore all tell issues except for severe abuse such as multiple account spamming, telling. Newbs server is shutting down etc.

7) boxing is perma ban

8) all suspensions MUST be made with a PM to the player on boards if possible (this will be easier when/if forum accounts get tied to game accounts with SMS)

9) no bans punishment for account related issues that don't involve hacking, if you share the info you bear the risk

10) pathing exploits case by case basis this category is very hard

11) game exploitation case by case impossible to cover all

I think the exp bonus can stay in if people can't play without it dude.

Server population and population by level sure isn't classic. However, my ability to tolerate classic EQ and that of others is not the same.

If people can't live without it, it serves us well to keep the population alive with it.

Most people will still complain about xp regardless of it and still roll solo rogues and shit.

[Tippett]

uh yeah 95% of the server getting to use the bonus to level/PL as many toons as they want fast as fuck and now exp is literally 1/3 the speed is fair

ur rite

[Nirgon]

Whether I'm right or not (I think I am) isn't what I care about though, I'm just being objective and honest.

[Tippett]

Population nearing 200 confirmed too high, need to increase that absurd barrier of entry some more and get it back down to 100 and then hopefully 30 again

in the past i was pretty sour about the integrity of this server. mostly due to hamelinda being a wretched and foul hosebeast.

with the harpy queen gone and sirken on watch however i have high hopes. good leaders place trust in their lieutenants. rogean needs to give sirken the sheriff badge for red and focus on higher level shit like keeping server up, managing staff etc.

one big glaring problem for me is the obvious conflict of interest of allowing dev/gm staff to have player characters. this is simply bad policy. cant blame azrack for using his unique position to help out his friends, its human nature for something you are this emotionally invested in. but the policy needs to change.

[Nirgon]

Yes, Sirken needs some DB access at least for item removal.

I feel like he's qualified to do such things.

We can't just keep doing this "that's Rogean or Null territory, ask them".

Rogean patched in the epics with doing the removal FFS.

Sirken needs real power, unless, there truly is a conflict of interest here.

Btw, I did not read Nirgon's OP. Seriously, who would? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There isn't enough adderall in the world to make you capable of reading that, fucko. I'm aware, no hard feelings.

I realize this is a troll but I'll respond nonetheless.

1) Sundawg if that's who you're referring to is not part of the CSR process.

2) I'm not criticizing the people, I'm criticizing the process, and I think even the members of the CSR staff here would agree that the process could be improved.

RIP Heartbrand tho

Ok Cast, you've got us all. We're immersed (right back atchu pal) and trying to fight a probably fruitless battle (back at you again, see posting history) to save the box.

Can't you just let us wallow in our failures? Isn't that enough entertainment for you? Sheeyit.
