Please don't spread misinformation. I never told Azrael they were required to do anything.

ROFL. Even after Derubael busted up Nilly, he gets accused of protecting them.

Derubael, ignore the trolls!

"If we dont get 50 people we arent doing this event, oh btw you killed Fright im not going to give you loot" sounds like you wanted us to leave or bend over backwards for you.

Please take a look at my petitions and pay no attention to these stupid posts.

Thanks for being patient. I've been cracking out as many as I can - I only post on the forums in my "free" non-csr time, so don't worry about this taking away from time that could be spent on CSR petitions!

Yeah, there's people who think I'm favoring Azrael right now, and others who think I'm favoring Nihilum. I'm guessing that means I'm doing a good job somewhere in the middle.

Again, don't spread misinformation. Who are you quoting there? Definitely not me, because those words never came out of my mouth. I did say that the encounter would take at least 50+ people to kill, because it was designed that way. I'm not going to make my NPC easier just so Azrael can kill it with 25 - that would be complete bullshit and blatant favortism. In regards to Fright, I had been in your guild chat earlier that evening and was explicitly told you guys didn't care/want loot - you wanted to PvP (which you got to do lots of, you're welcome) and overcome the challenge of the encounter.

Despite all the loudmouth naysayers, I've actually gotten a TON of super-positive feedback, both private and public. I really want to thank all of you again for your support. People from both sides of the fence (nihilum and azrael) are saying good things, and I can't tell you all enough how much I appreciate that. You guys are the reason we do CSR work here on Project 1999. Part of me may have forgotten you guys were still out there after all the recent drama [You must be logged in to view images.

Heard this way too many times, so two things:

1) PvP was only stopped in Dagnor's Cauldron after the mob was killed. This was necessary in order for me to sort out who was present for the kill and who wasn't, in order to determine who was allowed to roll. PvP was not stopped so that people could cooperate. Anyone who thought that was the case is greatly misinformed.

2) In regards to running a "PvE" event on a PvP server, I fully expected PvP to go down. I actually had hoped for a large two or even three-sided battle between the various factions. But I had also hoped that after the fight was over, everyone would join together to down the target (which would require upwards of 50 level 50+ characters), with the winner of the PvP side of things grabbing loot rights.

It's akin to dropping a mob in the middle of a zone with some items after summoning all the high level characters there. Then telling them to fight for the loot. The only difference being that the mob in this case was extremely hard to kill, dynamic, and a much more interesting fight than what you see from other NPC's. Lets be honest, hopefully none of us are here just to auto-attack bosses that have been researched and quantified over and over for the last 15 years, to the point where everyone knows how to beat them. But a massive fight after a huge PvP battle with mechanics that you've never experienced before should have been an experience everyone could enjoy.

I hope that clears things up a bit. I'm sure there are some of you who still think that you can only run pure PvP events on a PvP server, but that shouldn't be the case. We've done that, it's fun, but this was something different meant to get everyone to experience a massive boss fight together.

Derubael, again I wasn't there, and that event sounded like it would have been a lot of fun to me. Actually, for all the bitching, i'm sure it was STILL more fun for the whiners than grinding exp or camping some beetles in seb.. ppl just like to complain ,they will complain about anything anyone ever does on this server.

Should just plop a mob like that down in the Arena, or rathe mountains, or DC, or TT or swamp - some under-used zone (not on the way to unrest, let the newbs get there still) and then LEAVE and let the players figure it out themselves... so you dont even have to babysit. bet it would stay up a looong time. until players realized they had to work together.

This is unlikely to happen, partly because there's an expectation (from both players and staff alike) that a GM is responsible for an event and must "run" it, but also because such a hands-off approach isn't much "fun" for the GM.
