From J.R.R. Tolkien:

"A Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Some by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.

Up came John with his big boots on.
Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Jim,
As should be a-lyin' in graveyard.
Caveyard! Paveyard!
This many a year has Jim been gone,
And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.'

'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole.
But what be bones that lie in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead,
Afore I found his carcas.
Arkey! Markey!
He can spare a bone for a poor old troll,
For he got no use for his carcas.'

Said John: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the leg of the shin o' my father's kin;
So hand the old bone over!
Rover! Trover!
Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old bone over!'

'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins,
'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet!
It'll be a nice change then yer nuncle
Sunkle! Grunkle!
I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
It'll be a nice change then yer nuncle.


But just as he thought his dinner was caught,
He found his hands had hold of naught.
Before he could mind, John slipped behind
And gave him the boot to larn him.
Warn him! Darn him!
A bump o' the boot on the seat, John thought,
Would be the way to larn him.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain's root,
For the seat of a troll don't feel it.
Deal it! Peel it!
Old Troll laughed, when John did groan,
For his poor toes did feel it.

Johns leg is game, since home he came,
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But Troll don't care, and he's still there
With the bone he boned from its owner.
Doner! Boner!
Troll's old seat is still the same,
And the bone he boned from its owner!"

[Arentz Baboonheart]

how many of us have been sitting here since the crash intermittently checking to see if the servers up? i dont think ive even stood up since.

[parlay1]

Thats the frustrating part. A little communication goes a long way. If they are busy doing other shit no biggie, just put up a message saying so. This expecting it "might" come back up at any time wastes alot of peoples time if it truly is not the case.

[Aangus]

so is there a definite not till tomorrow or is there still hope?

[beeshma_nameless]

But again, they could be sorting out some major mess - while the busy clickers like ourselves can just take a break and check later?

On another note - this is as "classic" as it gets - remember the hours and hours of Sony downtime (patch, patch for a patch, patch for a patch for a patch, etc - especially in 99) when everyone clicked away heh ;-p

[Bruman]

And yes, Beeshma... seeing "Nameless" after your forum name tells me you (like I) am well aware of how 'classic' it is for server to go down. Only here we don't have the little chat button to hit to go in and BS with everyone while we wait.

If you are going off of what Kilyenamage posted, I don't know that I would. I think he is just rattling our chain. I've seen nothing else that says it will be down until tomorrow.

haha, the Gameless time on Nameless was significant.

For some reason, whenever I think of Nameless ( I only played for a few months, from server opening) I always thing of this dwarf I ran past in Wcommons with the guild tag Lost Danger Soldier....guess something was seriously lost in translation.

This was at the peak of the TW_speak on Nameless too...

Hobby said he texted Rogean. He didn't say they had an in depth talk. Maybe Rogean is at work, maybe he's on a date, maybe he's at a BBQ, who knows. Complaining about how frustrating it is that there's no update after the (free) server has been down for an hour is straight up rude.

[Zakaton]

If the problem is the eqemu login server, then I don't think there's anything the P1999 team can do directly. That box controls login to all the egemu servers, and they don't have access to it so far as I know.

I could be wrong though.

[mwatt]

Hobby stated he is in contact with Rogean, wouldn't be much of a reach to think he could send him a text telling him what is up and to post an update letting us all know.

The issue is not one of whether or not it would be a reasonable thing for them to keep us updated - it might, or it might not be, depending upon the circumstances.

The issue is that some folks forget too easily that we are owed NOTHING. These guys do this as a passtime, a hobby. It might be a passion one for them, but nonetheless, we are not customers. They owe us zilch. If they choose to tell us something, great. But nobody should act as if we are "owed".

Ridiculous pissing match. All I asked for was communication (which would be the polite way to handle it), if you can't grasp that then no problem. If you treat this as free, then maybe you need to click the "donate" button......I tend to give 25-50% as much as I paid SOE back in 1999, not alot but sounds like more then most or at least you.

It's funny you accuse me of a "pissing match" as you bring up donations. Irony much?

And whether you donate $0 or $1,000,000, doesn't change the fact that the server is free and these people do this in their spare time. "It's been an hour or two and no update has been posted, oh lawds time to brag about how much I donate! "

Instigation? I just pointed out that it's rude to complain about an hour or two without an update. You could have replied with something like "Maybe I came across the wrong way, I didn't mean it like that. I just love my EQ and what they do here and really want to know whats up :)"

But instead you opted for the "I PROBABLY DONATE MORE MONEY HERE THAN MOST OF YOU!" route. :dunno:
