Ragefire: A game old enough to drive a car; still can't launch new server right

[Burrito]

☐ Not Classic ☐ Classic ☑ Cucked By Ragefire


Edit: apparently the issue is heroic instances. Some players are level 1 spawning with level 85 gear. Not sure what is happening with the level 50s

I don't think anyone but devs know. But I do know one thing...

If code didn't exist that allowed players to pay-to-win then a "bug" where people start at max level with full gear would not happen. Less a bug rather than a feature run amok.

lots of folks demanding compensation for their lost sub time. duno why people expected this to go smoothly. hope it gets better soon, would love to hear how the progress goes.

Sounds like everything went as expected.

Live Eq is a strange community.

Idiots voted for max nostalgia, so that's what their getting.

In their defense, my understanding is that the problems at launch stemmed from adding instancing for newbie zones that they couldn't really test in beta because they didn't have the loads for them. Pops on these servers always fall off fast when the nostalgia wears off so they didn't want to launch more than one server like they have in the past because that brings future headaches for them and the players. Now the only problem is the server is at full capacity of 4000 or 5000 players and people are getting pissed. I don't really see that as too much of a problem because most of these people won't last a few weeks anyway. And a lot of them are, apparently, headed this way.

That said, the real fun is to come. They've taken KSing out of the rules of conduct and have even been quoted saying that this is a "DPS War" server or something like that. Training isn't in there either, but they conspicuously haven't commented on that. Besides being into a fresh start after being away for so long I just have to see this play out. The way these people whine and rant on the boards about the silliest shit from not getting their favorite name to the mere existence of boxers (on freaking eq live), just wait till the KSing kicks in in earnest. With 6 months of classic. Remember p99 in classic with, what, 500 players average peak? It's worth the sub fee just to get to watch.

I can't fucking believe this. They had all the potential in the world and fucking blew it because they wouldn't force their staff to work longer to fix the issues. I demand compensation for not providing the services that I requested.

What potential? If you mean potential in the sense of classic 1999 eq, there was no chance they were ever going to achieve anything close to that (nor were they trying at any point).

People have a right to be pissed. I would never play that server if they allowed those people that cheated to keep their progress.
