Dev's Response

[FitMed]

Good job Dev's and Pax and everyone who supports the project. This is some of the best enjoyment I've had game-wise for years, as I have pretty much stopped playing games alltogether. But this project, this server, has really taken me back and it is amazing and I truly do appreciate it. In fact, im going to even see about donating next month once I move to my permanent residence.

The Devs and Guides spend alot of time and effort and money to give this ability to others and it really is quite remarkable and it is a kind gift. The users, devs, guides, and players to are kind, helpful, respectful, and or supportative really make a great community. Just want to say thank you and looking forward to the future which I hope we all can enjoy.

[QUOTE=Arclanz;97402]Cry me a river, IDB. I have a better idea. if the folks on this project truly don't give a shit about the users and created this server for one or two people; post that FIRST THING on the setup guide. I can assure you I would have not read any further than that.QUOTE]


And yet, now that you know this is the case your still here. /boggle

Unless they criticize in a manner that cause you to feel totally devastated...

...in which case, maybe they aren't your friends because they are insensitive to you?

...in which case, maybe you're too sensitive to the criticism?

...in which case, maybe you realize the accuracy of their critique and realize just how much you may need to correct changes you have implemented?

...in which case, maybe you had unrealistic expectations of your friends the critics; you expected them to support you no matter how wrong you were?

anyways, critics are your most loyal players or they would have left the server already

think about it before we keep this adulation going and yes, without nilbog we would all still play wow or any other b-rated mmorpg out there.

Kind of. There are people who review things and do quite a good bit of work. These are the critics that are useful (as long as they aren't just parroting what's already been brought to their attention). Then there are the : this game sucks balls why did you ban me for three box duping crystalline spears yo?

The difference is important and Nilbog and others have acknowledged those with their concerns and if you search this forum you'll find most of the questions have either been answered via patch notes, the FAQ, or their posts.

I personally don't agree with all the changes (Translocators, manastone/guise ever being in, raid camping ruleslol) but they've given plenty of reason for why they do what they do, most of it relating to previous decisions and classic feel.

There are people who criticize to improve, there are people who are trying to get their way in a way, and then there are haters. I believe they've had just about enough of the haters. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

THE HEALLUN HAS SPOKEN D=

Seems pretty simple to me. Just as one wipes their ass after a good shit, so should one wipe the server of the same shit. IP bans and Character wipes for all undesirables

It's pretty easy, if you don't like it, then don't play. No one is forcing you to be upset over this server, just leave and move on if you hate how p99 is being run and everyone will be better off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok, I have said time and time again that I greatly appreciate all the hard work Nilbog, Rogean and the whole crew put in to developing, maintaining and policing this project. Without a doubt they are doing something that is bringing a number of people a great deal of enjoyment.

That being said, I'm under no delusion that the development team here shits gold or anything. They're human and make mistakes just like I do. Likewise, I'm not always going to agree with the decisions they make. I don't know how people are approaching the staff here with their problems, but I have to admit that when I approach someone in a civil and respectful manner - I really don't appreciate being told to fuck off, this is a free server, and I should just take my issue and shove it up my ass. Don't get me wrong, if people are spazing out and being dicks, by all means throw it right back at them - but the whole "we're volunteers so that entitles us to be dismissive to everyone who has an issue" isn't really cool in my book.. not just here, but in life in general. I personally feel that everyone should initially be treated with a certain degree of courtesy and respect - until they prove they don't deserve it. That is pretty much all I ask when I talk to the staff here. I know they won't always agree with me, but I just really dislike feeling like I'm being talked down to - be it in eq, online, or in real life - which has happened on occasion.

On the whole I agree with the OP. I think Nilbog especially does a tremendous job here in dealing with both the players and heading up the development efforts. I honestly don't even know the full story behind what prompted this thread - but just wanted to add my 2cp.

Perhaps, a final solution to the server problem if you will...
