How close are we to our goal for rails? How much more is needed?
$140 + 2 (unk) donations. Probably ~ 35-70 off

This is not new. Not sure if it works on P1999, but it always was good stunt to do in EQ. A sitting Griff in the air kinda looks redicolous [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Another good stunt was to get at noob to duel you, (You being a Chanter - before they nerfed charm in pvp and duels). Charm the poor git, and run him around in Common lands for an hour or 2.

Nother one, tho not classic, it used to be ubah fun. When Velius just released, grabbed the new Monster Summoning, and running around in WC scaring noobs with a "Named" SG or Griff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The monster summoning spell was awesome! It'd be funny to roll into a camp w/ a giant, and watch people run lol. Took them a second to realize it was a pet.

I used to pull that trick all the time. Another one I thought was fun (because I was a dick) was summoning Mod Rods and giving them to rats and skellies in Freeport. Back in the day you could loot said item from the mob after giving it to them, so it was like:

Noob_001 shouts "Hey wuts a rod of modulation?!"


Kirbie shouts "It's awesome. Right click it."

A Noob_001 has killed himself!

There's a racist "working on the rails" joke in here somewhere, but it's not Racial Slur Tuesday, so I'm not going to bother trying to find it.

I'll make the wife put in 20. She has the paypal acct.

On another note, why are rails needed to power a server up anyway? I suppose they are picky about the way servers are setup while running. Understandable but flexibility for a temporary situation would have been nice too.

A pretty good/standard policy for this sort of thing is you don't put shit online unless you can do it right. i.e. don't throw a server on a pile of shit and plug it in just to get it online fast, you put it in the rack properly before it gets powered on and turned over to whoever to use.

This prevents shit like them just setting it on top of the server below it in the rack and later being like "oh btw we are turning your server off today to actually put the rails on it cuz now we need the space"... And then there being massive amounts of QQ.

IT people tend to be lazy as shit (at least the ones that don't suck) and thus if they don't do something right initially it tends to sit undone until there is actually a neccessity to do it right lol.

Anyway if everyone here donated what they said we should be p close to enough for the rails.

Yeah, it all depends on the datacenter I suppose. And the whole scenario.

Is this a company who is letting you set up a server in their environment that has normally nothing to do with emu servers or game servers? Or is this a host provider that houses peoples servers for a fee?

Again this isn't a life or death server and setting it up temporarily with the understanding it will require 15 mins downtime to move in to a rack when ready isn't a big deal to us. But if they have strict policies then it's understandable. I just didn't know if this was a you don't wanna push your luck thing since they are doing so much for you already or if it is a host provider. None of our business but being nerdy I can't help. :P

Sorry all I have is HP rails. Funny thing is if I pull enough strings I can see if I can get some of these Proliant dl360 or 380 servers then you can have some backup servers lol. The hardware would be free but don't know about hosting etc. What city are you in or the server in Rog?
