Yea I work in IT and when I read that, I was shocked. I would be fired or given a written warning if I went ahead and did that without approvals. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yea that's why us consultants get paid the big bucks, lol. Oh, wasn't my random idea, directive to "clean things up" came from a superior.

To be fair, you can ask people 'what databases are you still using' and they will just give you blank looks most of the time or tell you not to touch anything. I bet most of the rank and file workers just said 'this database is not working' and went to grab a coffee while they waited for IT to fix it. Far from suspecting the truth, they probably just assumed the server-rack needed kicking or something needed to be rebooted.

When life gives you an extra coffee-break, it pays to stay incurious and just enjoy your good luck.

Let me check the constitution of Project1999.

I don't see a First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, or Fourteenth Amendment. I also don't think P99 signed on to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11.

Yeah. Pixels are not humans, folks. Pixels are the only things that get hurt in a banning.

If you got banned, just realize that you were likely the one who fucked up, either by malice or ignorance. Accept it. Move on. Recreate a character. Have fun. Otherwise, just go away and have fun.

No way man! I have E-rights! Our digital forefathers would be ashamed.

Obviously the "true to form" model here is mainly what you want since it is very popular. But one thing I will definitely suggest is addressing the "time" factor that most RMTers seem to be concerned with would definitely be a start in the right direction.

Lets face it, we played EQ when we were a little younger and probably had less bills than we have today. Why not deliver a product that will help fill that sunk time gap?

Just saying. There's money to be had. Creativity is just standing in the way to please a broader audience. And what better reason to do it for other than more resources?

To those who are on this side of the fence, I would rather pay money to keep RMT out... O wait, that is what donating to the server is for.

So if you are like me and enjoy this game for what it is, a damn fine example of pre-kiddy gaming that takes itself seriously enough to be enjoyable for those of us who cannot find a half-decent game in this world of shit title after shit title released from multinational corporations with no soul... Then you should donate too

And then you should pledge to the Crowfall kickstarter...

Good lord, lock this please, I don't think anything new is actually being said anymore.

this is a fascinating thread for sure, I'm very shocked Rogean felt it worthy to give as much feedback as he did and I'm very appreciative for it.

Firstly, thank you for the donations. They are greatly appreciated. As Rogean mentioned, all donations go towards server costs. When I started playing on the server, I imagined a couple of boxes is someone's basement. That's not the case. They sit in a controlled environment, data center. Rogean has shown pictures of our "rack". He would like to increase the protection of the servers, and that is very expensive.

A entire rack for this little project, are we using equipment from 1999?
I couldn't see more then 5U's of spaced used, yet alone a entire rack.

Is this the thread where we talk about how awesome Eunomia is?

Real awesome!
