Amen.
Account sharing is an integral part of a healthy server and vital to the comm... lol, I can't finish that sentence. We may spar on other issues, but this is very true. It's a logistical nightmare to enforce, but banning account sharing and limiting people to some (low) number of accounts would go a long way towards limiting the damage of the people who haven't stepped outdoors since summer.

The diference now is that the staff have spoken of their distaste in the current raiding scene. A distaste that I would think the majority share but have their hands forced by the selfish few.

Up until this point almost everything was fair game and there was no onus of responsibilty on people to interact maturely, fairly or even humanely so long as they stayed within (often failing) the current ruleset.

I have often wondered if the objective of this server was to see just how low it could go in the end game. A socialogical project if you like,. Reading the forums and hearing tales in game certainly fed that wonder. But now the staff have spoken and they are not of this mind at all, and it is wonderfully refreshing to see.

Or maybe we've just entered phase 2 of the social experiment. This shit is going to be made into a movie some day, so better secure your name trademark fast.

So Nirgon, you want people who don't see any raid mobs what so ever, mostly because of alt armies camped at raid spawns, to agree with you on the point that they will still have to wait awhile for an epic piece?

People will mostly just be happy just to get to experience the game.

all this talk of competition would hold some water if it were truthful. true competition wouldn't be guilds logging out at raid spawns. guilds would race to gather, transport and setup for the raid target after its spawned. not be fully buffed out waiting for it to spawn while some guy sits there tapping track or staring at a wall for days on end.

And before somebody says "WELL YOUR GUILD DOES THIS" It is what everyone who wants a shot at a raid mob here is forced to do because of the way its been handled for far too long.

This is all very entertaining and dramatic, even cathartic maybe to those who've felt shut out by a dominant and corrupt guild, BUT....

and I cannot stress this enough..


banning/deleting chars does *absolutely nothing* except make ppl move to alts/other guilds and start the same horse-shit... and TMO is prolly 7 deep on well geared alts, they are *prepared* for shit like this..

my point? ban the people, not the chars, or this is a waste of time. I am well aware of how easy it is to bypass ip bans (I'm a systems engineer) but these days there are many tools to find someone coming from the same ISP/VPN/geographic location, loggin on at the same times, grouping with the same ppl, doing the same shit. It's not that hard to catch Internet assholes, it's part of what I do for a living, I'm pretty sure it can be done with a *video game*....

Rogean was right about one thing: logs are forever, and finding ppl is just a matter of time, (not chars, ppl)

Do you really think if you ban/delete a *char* and the same *person* comes back to play, that it's going to be magically different? c'mon...

get rid of the ppl, or it'll be same shit-different guildtag.. mark my words...

First off I want to commend Visceral for helping Knix remember she's a filthy cunt. Secondly, it's nice to see she's just as much of a joke in TMO as she has been in any other guild she's been in. Let's see how far her vagina can carry her.

Known TMO since live on Fennin Ro and I've never wavered in the opinion that they are dirty as fuck, I'm tickled that I can finally say "Told you so", best Christmas gift I've gotten in a while.

Keep up the fine work and keep posting more behind the scenes info, if this were happening to any other guild, I'm sure big Tiggles would be having a field day with it.

Tinfoil hat time, maybe this is Tiggles selling out his own guild just for more attention!

Cute you think its unnecessary Olidaen when your guild has posted other guilds vents, forums posts, and guild chat in RnF before.
So Yapas is banned. Funny

Okay so go to another EQ Emu server and plow Venril or Trakanon?

Something tells me thats not entirely the interest at stake.
