I pretty much stopped playing a couple days ago. After Kegz tried to fix the pets, he made them even worse. My level 15 SK pet (a level 8 or 9 pet) was hitting for 6 damage max on mobs (should be 14). His response, and I kid you not, "his damage is capped because he's under level 10. 1-10 damage cap is 9 and 10-20 damage cap is 19."

My response "why I am hitting for 29 at level 15?" It's 19 for 1-10 and 29 at 10-20." His response "oh, you are right...my dev is going to look into and we'll update on the next reset."

Don't get me wrong, Kegz was doing good taking on such a big challenge, I just don't think he has skills to fix any of the big bugs. That's why I quit. I like 2 boxing so I gave Sleeper a shot. It's just too buggy. Nothing compares to P99 right now. I even think when EQclassic comes out, P99 will be better because it has had so much longer to work through all the bugs/fixes. Maybe P99 will launch a new server after Velious is out awhile.

All it takes is a rational discussion, and not roid rage from skorge and shit gets fixed. Took me all of 5ish minutes to find the original pet dmg tables, send to kegz, server came down and wham, mages 90% right.

Their lead guide was on mumble one of the first days and told me there's pretty much just Kegz. Another person just does website stuff and then there was a third dev who hadn't been seen for a few weeks prior to launch. "My dev is going to look into it" just means "I don't know what to do but I don't want the blame for it being broken."

I knew it was fucked before the server even launched but figured it would be worth having a look just in case. Turns out it was fucked.

The biggest warning sign was when Kegz, with his epic warrior avatar, claimed that warrior aggro was working fine and that warriors never needed proccing weapons. A few beta testers had reported that it was suspiciously easy for warriors to hold aggro but he insisted that things were working as intended.

That's when I realized that he prefers broken mechanics that benefit his favorite class over correctly working mechanics and I knew it was a lost cause. The guy's an idiot and he's bad at Everquest, his server was always gonna be a failure.

For shits and giggles I thought I'd go and have a look at how bad this bug posting is getting. Went to log in, password doesn't seem to be working. Go to get it reset and...

I take this silence to mean that the server is rightfully dying.

That makes no sense. I think it's more that the people raging about the server have either moved on or accepted it. If they want to chat, they're chatting in-game or on the epicemu forums. The server pop was in the same range all last week. It's been at, and will probably be stable, at about 150-200 characters on at prime time (about which half you can assume are boxes obviously).

The server is what it is, and there's really not much point in rehashing it page after page. I haven't logged in for a couple of days myself, but that's more related to some RL stuff at the moment.
