GM's don't make changes/fixes to the server. Nor is Bumamgar a GM for that matter.

Developers make changes to the servers, and as the Patch notes read on the front Page, Bumamgar Is a developer and seems to be one who makes changes (per front page patch notes), and also happens to be a leader of the "new raid guild".

seems like something is wrong with that...

PS, i am not trolling.. just an honest player wishing more people would play honestly.

Serious question, do you know the difference between a GM and a developer?

Ignoring for a second your implication that someone isn't playing honestly....

I have access to the Project 1999 source code. This code is derived from the Project EQEMU source code that anyone can download from Google code. The p1999 source code is similar, but modified to implement classic features that are missing from the public EQEMU code base.

I do *not* have access to the Project 1999 database. The database contains the "data" that makes up project 1999 as a unique server. It houses character info, spawn info, timers, etc.

The code, without a database, is an empty world (in fact, for testing purposes, I use a public copy of the PEQ database when coding).

So yes, I can do things like adjust hybrid XP penalties, but I can't see when Naggy will spawn. I also have no GM powers in game, on any account. I cannot ban people, I cannot see the petition queue, I cannot do anything in-game any different than anyone else.

If you look through the patch notes, my contributions to this server have almost exclusively been to make things harder for everyone. Nerfing XP, reducing non-cleric heals by 10%, etc. These changes affect everyone, including me. They do not give myself or my guild any advantage over anyone else.

Just to clarify, I think you're a fantastic dev and when i read patch notes with your name attached I actually appreciated them and thought they were great!

On the other hand, I think you've been a parasite to the raiding scene, which is unfortunate because many of your guild members are quite awesome people.

Where is the player evidence (timestamped screen shot) of WI supposedly failing the roll call, and perhaps the one showing when/if they fulfilled it?

If GMs truly enforce the player-made raid rules in regard to a roll call timer, would it not be safe to assume they have evidence of whether or not it was completed and within what time frame?

Is someone suggesting IB 'gave' WI 30 minutes with Nagafen, although they had every right not to?

Thanks for the dev comments, I appreciate it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure how you could consider me a parasite to the raiding scene. A parasite latches on to a host and steals energy (usually in the form of food) from the host. Generally calling someone a parasite implies that they have achieved their success by riding on the coattails or backs of another. I'm not sure how you could imply that of me or my guild.

I think I'm the only cross between development/GM'ing (and since I hate most of you, I'll probably be the only one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ). I've been trying to help Cyrius more here as of late.

I face planted when I saw the actual state of the Kunark quests and went and banned like 4 people. I felt better =(.
