You can't tell me how to appreciate my own work. This is similar to if you built a sculpture on your front lawn, and then some random people come and stand by it, and start telling you that the ONLY way your work pays off is for them to enjoy looking at it. You must think I owe you a lot.

Also, I wish I would have saved the post link, but wasn't it Rogean that posted at one point that he doesn't give a shit if anyone cares, or people leave the server, and you guys would still be updating and doin yer dev things whether the server had 8, 80, or 800 people on it at one time. So in response to those that for some reason think that the devs owe you anything, HA just keep thinking that if that's what floats your boat. The devs don't owe you shit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks Nilbog for everything you do, and all the other devs.

I don't mean to disrupt the koombaya thread here, but I want to remind the devs that all that hard work pays off ONLY if people give a shit enough to spend time on your server.

Your hard work speaks for itself; and the few pissed-off "fuck you" posts I see by devs and admins only pushes me away from the server; it doesn't endear me to it.

Feel free to please gtfo then. God the fucking self-centeredness of people is just ASTOUNDING to me. I'm learning new levels of it.

Why don't we just start blanket banning the trolls? Nothing says we HAVE to keep them around. I kinda like the koombaya.

Bump.
Because EVERYONE needs to read OP's post.
You hit the nail on the hammer, people need to remove head from ass asap. To the guy a few posts back Arcanz Arcalnz? Arcnotimportant. GTFO. Just please do us who appreciate the Devs and everyone involved in making this server kick fucking ass a favor, and Get The Fuck Out.
No one needs/wants to see ass-hats shitting all over these people's hard work. That bull shouldn't happen at all. The comment saying the work they do doesn't matter unless people play on the server?? Eat Ass. Moldy Ass. I bet your derp self couldn't come close to do doing what they are. You have become more Ignorant and Ungrateful, Combo Level up!! (+40)
I'm amazed Dev team hasn't been removing people left and right, no questions, no posts just taking out the garbage. They put up with a lot of shit though, and everyone knows that won't last forever. Stop fucking it for the rest of us you douche bags out there, you know who you are.
Sorry for the language/angry rant, I just hope people realize what Dev team is doing for us and send some appreciation that way instead of negativity [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I hear what you're saying, but personally I like the fact that the Devs aren't afraid to 1) take a bit of criticism, and 2) give it right back tenfold. I support the Devs 100% but I don't think an Iron Fist approach is the right way to go. The kiddies running SoD use that approach and I wasn't impressed with it at all.

Indeed, and those statements are making an assumption that everyone feels the same.

As long as it's *similar* to classic EQ... I'll be around, and likely donating.

Again:

Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, starting with the original 3 continents and a max level of 50, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience.

Even though I wasn't entirely serious, you do raise some good points. I just always have a concern for how long folks' patience will hold out.

Well I think the devs will hold out just fine, even if they lose patience, but a lot of the problem with the whiners on live is that the devs on live actually do need their customers to keep their jobs, so they do need to listen to some degree to their customers. The devs here don't have that problem. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This server's direction is and has always been to keep things as close to classic as is within their power, so even if they lost patience, I could only see just mass bannings, and more moderation over things just being changed in game to accommodate the whiners. I just can't see the devs changing things just because people want it a certain way. The only time they change something is if there's strong evidence proving that what they implemented (or haven't yet) is or is not truly classic. The moment they're convinced that they're right, or the bug report is right is when something will be changed, but ONLY if it's true to classic. I've noticed that there are a lot of things that were reported properly (through the bugs forum) and in a logical, organized manner with evidence, and proof (via old forum posts from 1999-2001 era, etc) and those things have actually been changed, or are on the list to being changed.

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. Then you won't get users like me assuming that the PM and DEVS do actually give a shit about the users.

Speaking of asshats, they are coming out of the woodwork on this thread. IDBs all over the place. LOL.

GTFO, F U, etc. That is some good reading...

Let's cool it down a little guys. I support the Devs 100% in their efforts but I don't think Arclanz is completely wrong either. Yeah, I'd prefer to think that the Devs do care a bit about the community as a whole, not just their own efforts. I'd like to think they don't automatically assume we're a bunch of unaccomplished peons and are willing to extend us some courtesy as well, not just expect blind worship because of their amazing efforts here. Note: I'm speaking in general terms here, I'm not saying they act one way or another.

And I do agree that the constant barrage of F-this and F-that, STFU, and GTFO responses from everybody are getting really old. It runs counter to the whole point of restoring EQ in my opinion, since a huge part of what made early EQ special was — wait for it — a solid community. And a solid community doesn't have people ripping into each other constantly with the most vile insults imaginable.
