If you do not agree with a GM decision, you can send me a message about it. Fuck no we don't have to be open to criticism from anything players have to say. It is my right to delete you or your words, the same as any other moderator.

This sums it up ->>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnkFYTSeT_U#t=8m40s

Rogean answered this one, but I'll reiterate. You can make an appeal, or ask us questions about your account in petition/exploit portion of forum. No one is owed shit.[/CENTER]

I think the key thing that most people (not all) but most people on this thread are missing is that the dev team (all staff inclusive) are all volunteers. This server is obviously free to play so if you don't like it then quit. Go make your own fucking server. It's one of those freedoms you retards have, in case you didn't know. If you want to bitch and complain, go play on live where you're paying someone to listen to you bitch. Otherwise you will have to learn to deal with what this server offers. These people all have real lives aside from p99 so deal with it. I think the youtube link definately "sums it up" as nilbog mentioned. Oh and when you do make your own server, let me know how dealing with the amount of complaints you get when you have 900+ players during peak hours works for you.

Ok, I agree that I appreciate what the Devs and GMs do here and that they're providing us all with a wonderful server free of charge...

With that being said, this go to "If you don't like it, quit" response every falls back on is ridiculous. I view the server much like I view my country. I like it, I think it's super - but I understand that it's not perfect. Could it be better? Absolutely. It is because I care about my country [the server] that I bring up issues of concern. It isn't because anyone here is ungrateful (well maybe a few people are).. it is because they are members of the community and are honestly trying to make it better.

Obviously not everyone is like that - some people don't care and are just trolls; but to tell every person who has a complaint or suggest or whatever that they should just leave is counter productive to the community.

Let me emphasis this for anyone who has doubt: NO ONE HERE IS OVERLOOKING THE FACT THAT THE DEVS AND GMS ARE PROVIDING THIS SERVER AND THEIR TIME AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE... WE'RE ALL EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. That doesn't mean however that we won't raise issues in an attempt to make something great, even better.

I agree with and understand the people that have legit complaints, bug reports, etc. I'm not arguing with that at all. I also believe that the legit reports have their place and they make the game better. I'm referring to all the people that troll the forums. I don't think that everybody that has a LEGIT complaint should quit, however those people that attack the GMs/developers are the ones that should quit. If they are absolutely just not happy with something what is the point in continuing? For all the people that get their accounts suspended/banned, they were obviously doing something wrong and they just want to make sure that the dev team actually knew what was going on. Either that or just flat out lie and say they weren't. The staff is busy working on other productive things and should'nt have to answer every single retarded post, especially when its been visited, revisited, and on and on and on on the forums already. Attacking a volunteer staff is pointless and will lead you nowhere, especially when that volunteer runs whatever service you're using. When you look at the amount of posts that the volunteer staff has responded to, it's obvious that they don't sit around on their ass the whole time. They are working on their own time (after they get off of their real job) to fix bugs, answer petitions, work on kunark, etc. So moral of the story is (IMO) leave them alone and quit bothering them with shit that doesn't matter. If someones post was deleted, there was probably a good reason for it.

From what I'm seeing, you responded to my IP exemption request (which I AM grateful for, even though we kinda stopped playing because of the lack of disciplinary action). The other issues (training, quest items being eaten, etc) remain unacknowledged and unread, so you can get off your high horse at any time.

You keep saying you don't get paid and don't have to listen to us yadda yadda yadda...but in doing so you're just letting probably the greatest EQ Emulator server ever created to go down the toilet with letting people run rampant in game, but censoring the people who bring up the lack of discipline or the problems on the forums. You're letting all your effort go to waste when you could just suspend the bad apples that are making people pissed off for a few days until you do manage to gather all the facts. Hell, suspend them for 48 hours, at least then people would shut up about you guys seemingly not doing anything, and quiet the favoritism bullshit.

Shut up you ungrateful idiot. It's a free fucking server and it's by far the best that has ever come around. If you don't like it go somewhere else, asshole.

Lol they dont... They work in IT fields specifically to avoid the real world, cause cyber love is the anti-man.

Haha. So true.

GMs will be the end of this server.

Even GMs getting paid managed to screw it up, so there is no hope here either.

Corruption will prevail!
