Concerned

KSers and trainers were punished relatively quickly back in vanilla.

Vanilla also didn’t have 300 people all in a newbie zone at once, so your complaint about resulting of spawn times is inapplicable here.

[HopefulButConcerned101]

yea it did, zones were crashing because to many people in them, they had to open new servers constantly.

Dear Ancient Wizard,

You have some respectable accomplishments. And I empathize with you. But let me teach you if you're willing to listen; some relative what you said, some not.

- Writing is art and should be molded. Read what you write with a faster pace because skimming is natural. If its hard to understand then remove words and simplify, even commas.

- Use smaller words, shorter sentences, use commas and rearrange them.

- Just because I can teach you something doesn't mean i'm an arrogant know-it-all.

- Start or end conversations with positivity and truth. Its more persuasive. Falsehood is flattery that people hate and will backfire, unless they're dumb and can't see it.

- Don't assume

- Most people don't care about what you did, only what you're currently doing, especially if its a video game. I was a vanilla WoW High Warlord and multi-glad and it makes no difference, even though its fun to say. Accept this for your own relief and forget about "who you were" even if it was important to you. Do things for your own satisfaction or results, not because you want others to care about it. And not to be confused with good deeds in general.

- Trying get others to see your perspective or agree is a waste of time, even though its we're inclined to.

- Arguing with morons is worse for you than it is for them and will only lead to frustration.

- An enemy will do the opposite of what you want.

- Step back after everything you wrote and condense it to a summary.

- I started to read what you wrote but skimmed in search of practical substance.

- If its "bad" then delete it with no attachment regardless of how long it took.

- Tone, rhythm, rhymes and words with similar letters sounds better if you don't overdo it. Speak clearly and avoid common cliche phrases. Read it quickly and write like you're speaking. Its better if it flows. Its ok to repeat but redundancy dilutes.

~ Energy is practical, not only ambiguous. Everything has energy including different words.

Cryptic is only meaningless if the source and interpreters are stupid and ignorant and refuse to think further. Nor should you expect them to.

Consider everything.

Use a cliche but change it.

I only practice what I teach if I care enough.

Use examples.

Rule makers don't bend, they break.

Sometimes its just for fun.

Read, fast, edit, sleep, and repeat. Its different in the morning so always sleep before you release.

Sometimes.

Peace.

And I agree about the whiners. Bunch of bluebie carebears.

[HopefulButConcerned101]

alright man, I admit it was a rant, I didn't spend anytime really caring about anything, and for the record..I am not touting accomplishments... its a video game. I was simply trying to illustrate that these things are what made EQ..EQ, and the nostalgia is nice, but vague. There are 50,000 things that were done first in this game, and as one of the original players, of course I did a few of them. There were some 20 servers, each with like 20k people on them, I was famous to the 2k I played with in my time frame, on that server. Libs need to stop projecting=) so they can understand what other people mean when they speak. I'm not writing a book, an op-ed or a speech here, I am under the influence of narcotics playing a video game. I really could give a sheet about a comma. This rant was not my resume, nor was it the script to a new and upcoming movie. It was a stoned guys reminiscence of something he had fun with 20 yrs ago. a rant and a plea about spawn points.

The thread is called "rants" its located in a video game forum, its not "apply here for employment at the writers guild."

I agree with your advice, I applied it my entire life when it mattered. This doesn't matter, its fantasy land.

Now hows some advice for you.. relax.

Except your entire first paragraph is you doing exactly that. Oh, right, I forgot. It's 2019, Trump is president, reality and facts don't matter anymore. You didn't spend an entire paragraph touting your "accomplishments" and it's not just sitting there for everyone to read. Carry on.

Scholars have debated the TLDR of OPs manifesto for centuries, but it turns out that no one has actually ever read it.

I am a gigantic troll. I am also the first wizard to 50 in the history of all games ever and something about Leeroy Jenkins and also I can't remember Nagafen's name.
Brad was a genius, and Rogean and crew suck and should just follow Brad's vision.
