The GMs seem to be getting pretty tired of our bullshit. We really should try to treat them better... what will happen when they don't feel like putting up with us anymore, and we end up with someone worse?

Or no one at all...

I agree 100%

Nobody likes getting told theyre wrong too many times

Rogean's really made it no surprise that he delegates everything changed on Red to other guides and GMs because his care for Red99 stretches only to server upkeep, which is completely fine. He hosts and enables its existence, that's good enough.

But Derubael, Sirken - when you pals pose an idea to him, you need to have the alternatives/ ideas to help the server already fleshed out so that when he makes changes, the fix is already there.

I mean it's pretty clear the exp nerf was posed to him and he shut it off without further discussion/ you two not expecting that to happen so immediately without a different exp fix in its stay.

I would keep in mind that your two voices are ultimately in complete control of Red's ruleset/ world, and to approach Rogean with your ideas accordingly so that this kind of stuff doesn't happen again.

I appreciate what you're doing, though.

I believe that the staff said the XP "nerf" was discussed and agreed upon a long time before it actually was implemented and that they just didn't get around to putting it in at the time?

Also, I got the impression from Sirken that they WANTED to drive some people away with the XP "nerf" ... figuring that the people who would quit on the server because of the XP change are the people that weren't healthy for the server in the long run anyways?

Yes, I know I put question marks after sentences that weren't questions. I'm expressing my uncertainty about those comments and my memory/interpretation of them?

i doubt it since the people dominating raidcontent are already lvl 60 (+60alts).

sirken said in one of his twitch broadcasts that leveling is to fast on red and he wanted to see more people grouping up in lower levels. that was the reasoning behind it.

Yeah, he said:

the staff wants an actual community of people that are here to actually play everquest. we want people to care about their characters and accounts because of how much time they have already invested.

With super fast xp you can never have a 1-50 community because no one stays there long enough. unless a bunch of people join the server at the same time, they cant level together because taking a few days off the rest of them will leave you behind, starting a week after a player you cant group with them, and leveling so fast that casters cant even afford their lvl appropriate spells.

But I still got the impression from a different post (that I can't find atm) that they weren't upset that the XP may be causing some people to gtfo. "Gonna get worse before it gets better" was basically what was said, plus the stuff about culling the lion population to allow the gazelles to survive? Did the gazelle thread get deleted? Only seeing 4 hits for posts with "gazelle" in them and none of them are on point.
