Nikolai, admin of EQMac.com confirmed piece of trash.

[Reikerx]

Imagine a man's entire family gets raped, and when police contact him regarding finding the culprit he's like "Nah, I have respect for this guy, don't worry about it."

This man is Nikolai, owner of the EQMac.com community.

I provide the forums as a service to the EQMac community, out of a respect for the people who play, and to support a game I once spent a great deal of my life playing.

The guy no longer plays EQ, and it's obvious that the "respect" he has for the people who play is completely bullshit.

I will not do that. Out of respect for both the EQMac community and yes, even SOE, I will continue to maintain the same standards we have had for many years. This includes removal and possible banning of people who violate eqmac.com's rules.

This is a man who has respect for SoE, a company who for no given reason has chosen to dismantle the entire EQMac community. Years of work of gearing characters and pushing towards accessing Plane of Time is just going to go to the great recycle bin in the sky. Nikolai apparently doesn't give a shit, yet still claims he has respect for the community? My bullshit detector is going nuts.

What provokes him to begin posting this garbage on this forum in the first place? This:

Additionally, for the time being, the administrator(s) of the eqmac.com website/forums have requested that P99 not be mentioned or posted about. I expect everyone to honor this request, as would be the case for any other website.

This has nothing to do with legal implications of posting software downloads on this forum. He wants absolutely no mention of Project 1999, the only place where his community can migrate to to continue their classic EverQuest experience, from being mentioned on this forum. Why? Because his loyalty for some bizarre reason lies with SoE, and not the hundreds of EverQuest players he provides a website for. Discussing P99 on the EQMac forums hurts no one, their server is (unfortunately) toast. Apparently getting fucked over by SoE wasn't bad enough, Nikolai decides to give them a "respectful" fuck you, also.

I've never played on Al`Kabor, and even I want to punch you in the face for your disgusting attitude.

Because of all this, YOU Nikolai win the coveted Tool of the Month award. You have thoroughly mastered the art of being a scumbag.

[Rogean]

You sound mad

[Nedala]

confirmed mad

[Reikerx]

Why would I be mad? I have absolutely nothing to do with the EQMac community. I just find Nikolia's disposition about the matter to be despicable, in the same way I would about anyone being a complete asshole.

Calling someone out for being a toolbag does not = anger. But it's fucked enough to warrant spending a minute or so making a thread.

[Diggles]

Reiker just cant help but be mad at shit that does not involve him.

Word will spread about P1999 on the mac server, people are already looking at us from over there. Whispers will spread.

[Rogean]

EQMac already had a smaller population than us. I welcome any of the players that would like to come and play P99, but I don't expect any sort of surge of people.

[Szeth]

It isn't about the numbers... for me at least. I'd be happy to have some quality, mature raiders come onto the scene. And knowing where eqMac was at means that it is more than likely we will see a few of these coming over.

Really? I hear about Temerity and Vintage and got the impression their community was larger than ours? At least 500-1000 nightly unlike our 200-700 nightly. Guess I was mistaken.

[Harrison]

His excuse for removing posts about P1999 on his forums?

I am an honest operator. I have agreed to the TOS, and will honor my end of the agreement. You are welcome to discuss what you like, elsewhere.

Lol the guy stopped playing in 2007, isn't an employee of Sony, and is a massive tool.

[Diggles]

Harrison stop fucking scaring off players.

[Harrison]

Making fun of someone who doesn't play scares off players? Hmmm

[Aprio]

Well this is RnF so I would hope any new player wouldn't base their initial perceptions on Harrison's trolling (which he does very well new guys, there is an ignore function on these boards).

[Diggles]

he's also going over to their forums. :\

[Harrison]

I made a single post in an off-topic MMORPG section of their forums. I don't give a shit enough to make more posts than that if the guy is going to be a fucking retard to the community.

I don't know who the other posters are.

[tshakur]

Nikolai sucks. But then, he always has.

There will be no influx of players; 85% of eqmac players are 45+ years old and still get mad when you inspect without asking up front. They simply could not hack it on p99.

[Flunklesnarkin]

It's his forums so yah.. his rules..

I don't understand why he'd block mention tho.. i thought p99 was all up and up anyways...

from my understanding copyright only extends on use for 10 years..

[Lazortag]

We should be welcoming Eqmac players, not scaring them away with stupid shit like this. I hope any Eqmac players reading this know that no one on p99 takes Reiker seriously.

[Mardur]

Did you even read the post, or did you see posted by Reiker and your inner rage kicked in to produce this reply?

I'm calling Nikolai out on being a massive asshole towards the EQMac community. How exactly is that "scaring away EQMac players?" If I was an Al`Kabor player, I'd be fucking ashamed to have this guy as the figurehead of my community.

But you're not, and your opinion is not the only one in the world. Get over yourself.

[Diggles]

You've just learned about Nikolai, whereas most of Al'Kabor has known him for years.
this is basically the equivalent of people insulting Rogean/Nilbog for no reason

[Harrison]

The terms of service for the game you "accepted" that you haven't played or used since 2007 have absolutely nothing to do with posts on a forum outside of Sony's jurisdiction, especially if they are not your own posts.

There is no legal jurisdiction for posts discussing anything on these forums, regardless of what excuses you fabricate. The server is going down and the community will want somewhere to go, likely together. There is an option and you are Nazi'ing unnecessarily against your very own community.

I posted that in response to his bullshit response to someone else's post he deleted, to which he said:

Now is the time to stop talking about software which violates the SOE TOS.

I will continue to delete posts and/or ban accounts as necessary. No rules have changed with the announced end of the server.

Feel free to speculate about methods or reasons for SOE to release the EQ code in a mutually beneficial manner. However, this site is still a quasi-official site and I will continue to honor my end of the TOS, regardless of how badly I feel I have been mistreated or abused by SOE.

Man, this guy is just dense.

[Diggles]

He's not dense, he just is loyal (god knows why)

I don't understand why you have to go full retard on him about his beliefs.

[Harrison]

I'm bored on my way to work and it was something to do.

[tshakur]

He's a Sony employee.

Hope that helps.

[Harrison]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was and hiding that fact.

[tshakur]

I wouldn't say he's hiding it, though he doesn't display it openly. I've been on eqmac a few years and it's just common knowledge.

[Lron]

I thought the posts on eqmac.com from the P99 community were funny and honestly in good taste.

The problem with the eqmac community is 90% of them have HUGE sticks permanently implanted in their asses and bow before the golden shit covered cock of smedley and SOE.

It is a very strange/cult like community but i have enjoyed it for the past 3 years or so.

I will get people over here if my name is saved. I am basically like the Al'Kabor mascot/father figure.

[Mardur]

Kinda like putting Nazis in charge of liberating concentration camps. Strange community indeed.

Smedy post.

[Diggles]

Hmm, makes more sense.

[Mardur]

Like I've been saying, SoE is holding steadfast to cancelling the server and isn't being swayed. Therefore the options are:

a) Suggest P99 as an alternative classic EQ experience.
b) Give your community the middle finger and leave them hanging.

Nikolai chose b.

Makes a lot of sense that he's an SoE employee. He probably knew of this decision in advance and he was just like "yeah, whatever, nuke those fuckers."

[Diggles]

Mardur doesn't believe in loyalty. Harasses people out of guild then sucks their dick for loots.



It's clever, you fucking assbandit.

I will purchase one of your thundercunts. Please explain how they work.

[Diggles]

The pinnacle of all English swearwords, thundercunt is phoenetically, spiritually, grammatically, and socially the worst thing you can ever say. Much like a Holy Hand Grenade or the most powerful zord from Power Rangers, it should only be used in times of extreme need
Man: Larry, your home just burned down, and the arsonist fucked your wife
Larry: THUNDERCUNT!!!!
Universe: Shatters a little bit, shaken to its very core



The biggest and most cuntiest of all cunts. Generally, thundercunts are incredibly obese and have a portal to Hell in between their legs rather than a vagina.
Bob: Have you met the new girl?
Joe: You mean Meghan? Yeah, dude, she's a fucking thundercunt.

rly doubt nikolai knew in advance. Even Hobart obviously didn't. It's surely the result of whatever strategy was adopted in the meeting of higher-ups that decided to apply the f2p model to EQ.

vote with your wallet pals. if you fork over a cent to sony in 2012 you are part of the problem

[Blorris]

EQ mac player here, newly interested in p99 forums. You guys don't need to worry about getting the word out or advertising your server, as the existence of p99 is well known over there. In many mac players minds, Al'Kabor's status is more like a limbo now, as most of the population is mounting this "save our server" campaign towards SoE, in emails and twitters at their executives, and there is talk of mac port of the current game. There is a legitimate wait and see vibe accordingly. If the server really gets pulled, and as the sunset date approaches (end of march).. that is when you may see a "surge" of interest. But its a bit early as yet.

SoE stated flat out that there's no chance of continuing EQMac in its current form.

I took a visit to the EQMac forum and the community seemed grateful to possibly be getting a Mac port of the current game. So I may have overestimated the intelligence of those guys.

[DoucLangur]

[..] and still get mad when you inspect without asking up front.

Even if I shouldn't care, I find that to be annoying indeed. It was considered rude on Lanys, and Antonius Bayle, especially in classic times, later no one cared anymore anyways. And if you have any level of immersion in the game, i.e. take your fun out of the content as opposed to pissing off other players (which means you have mental issues), it makes sense to have some in-game "feelings".

no i think you have mental issues if you find it offensive if someone doesn't ask your royal permission before looking at your online pixel equipment

getting annoyed at pixel inspections should have gone away with RP and in-game marriages.

no one really views their character as an extension of themselves IRL anymore...or at least i hope not.
