Server player # stats don't lie bro.

You inhereted a server with 200 average players (+ all these casual players that would login from time to time) and drove it down to 50-80 in 2 years via poor decisions/housing cheaters/rmters and continuous petitions against anyone and their dog because of your paranoia stemming from your guilty concious from your own cheating. Your ideology is to petition everyone for any minor infringement before "they" petition you (paranoia) about something and that ideology permeated thru your guilds' members to the point no one wanted to PvP incase their toons gets banned.

The server culture shifted from one of a fun place to enjoy gaming time, to this bitter cheaters paradise with everyone flinging off petitions everytime a PvP encounter happened.

PvP became a taboo aspect of red99 during your tenure, unless it was your chargers driving guilds and players off the server. Couple that with the fact you basically spent your entire EverQuest career hiding on alts, or classes that have a distict undeniable advantage in escaping PvP, or surviving PvP and are so paranoid with dying in PvP that you will use other people's toons to hide on instead of your own (and according to rumours, will go and get banned on them too).

GMs even gave up 100% on the server during your tenure, much like 100s of players did too.

For you this place was/is an addiction but to many other's it was a place to spend freetime: what you failed to recongize is that other's can go spend their time elsewhere and that's what people did, aka they voted with their feet to leave the toxic server culture you cultivated. You claim it's other players faults, other guilds faults, yet the server #'s kept dwindling and your guild kept up their toxic behaviour when all the "so-called toxic PvP" players left the server, funny that hay?

Addiction and "been in the moment" is a tough thing to see one's own faults thru which you never will see.. well not untill you go clean and have moments of reflection...

TLDR: you cultivated a toxic server culture no one wanted to spend their gaming time on. Aslong as you had enough bodies to kill dragons in ToV it didnt matter what happened to the server.

You are very accurate , tune went out of his way to frame me with doctored petitions every day... he has a Flak cheats series and managed to get some shared druid banned by Sirken for gating. Who seriously wants to play on server filled with pussies who cry all the time tbh.
