lol y'all theoryquesting new PvP server ideas in the thread posted by the dev addressing changes coming to this PvP server.

This server sucks because most of you do. A thousand boxes, a thousand rule sets, and a thousand new players couldn't change that.

There were 600 people here on day one, and this wasnt the sleeper - people didnt start leaving because the servers so broke its unplayable. People left because of people.

Here's a metaphor: This PvP server is a house. And in this house lives all the people who play here. Now, everyone in the house has no respect for the roof over their head nor the landlord who charges no rent for the people living there. Since day 1, people have just been smearing shit on everything, breaking all the furniture, making a full effort to get people to move out. Now comes today, and this house is full of broken glass and shit, and a fraction of the people who used to live there. And it sucks, because .. well.. everything has a 2 inch deep layer of shit on it.

Yet here you are, those very people, asking/debating ideas for a new house. A new house that you will go into, shit all over, destroy inside-out. Inside of a thread that the landlord posted to make an attempt to better the house you've ruined.

No... pretty sure lack of NPC/guard assist, opening weekend lag, mage pets and just a lack of cheap Kunark power weapons to buy to twink melees killed most of the pop.

It's quite true that most people can't handle real EverQuest, let alone PvP.

What you see on blue is a server FLOODED with items.

I can post WTB Cloak of Flames and get one on blue.

On live? In Kunark/Velious? No fucking way on any of the servers I played.

The server I want to play most is when all the changes are done and things CLOSELY match live. Playing from scratch on a box like this is the best gaming around to this day.

To all you college grads that think you are gods gift to coding, go get a real job, with real deadlines, work 60-80 hours a week for some BS corporation that can never give good business requirements. Recode your shit 80 times because users don't understand how to give requirements, get yelled at for not reading minds and not delivering perfect products in ridiculous timeframes.

YES. Welcome to my world!

Yes in the professional world you quickly realize that everything isn't text book and the code you work with has had people of varying skill levels touching it for 10 years.

Have fun thinking you know everything when that gets put in front of you.

Don't forget you can never change anything ever that affects a downstream interface even if you are making it 100x more efficient.

Dying to play from scratch on a good box. Missed it when eqemu first hit the scene. Tried it on r1999 a while back but too far behind the population, never ran into anyone and didn't have any good dick or anti-Semitic jokes to add to /ooc.
