Phase 1 Complete

Richardo · #1 04-19-2005, 01:22 PM

Agreed, there is absolutely no balancement to KMRA, GM's are even corrupt.. They twink their own characters, for example this "Iamien" character. I'm well aware that you guys have a rule against twinking your own characters but no GM's on your server go by your rules it seems. I dont mean to offend you in any way King Mort, but... In my honost opinion if it matters at all, I suggest you make KMRA legit completely and whipe characters and start over. And dump all of those rediculous GM's and stick with a crew that "works" on your server instead of standing there talking to their friends. Which brings me to my next point, the GM Position should be taken more seriously... It is a job and a responsability, not a free ticket to uberness. I had logged on a couple weeks ago to find myself getting flamed and beaten down by 2 GM's that were bored on your server. Like I said, I dont mean to offend you King Mort but perhaps you should take more consideration on your crew bud.. Anyhow, the server is nice and I complement you on your great connection for I have yet to have gone Link-Dead and your coder is very talented but KMRA could be a lot better if you put your mind and time into it and do away with this "favoritism" garbage that GuildWars had so much of.

Water too pure has no Fish

Actually that statement isn't true. When I was a kid, there was a creek by my house that was so clean you could drink from it (and I did) The fishing was great. I caught tons there (or I guess it could have just been the same fish over and over hehe) Sorry to be off-topic I just have this habit of attempting to disprove philosophical statements.

KMRA is fine how it is. If someone is more uber than you that doesn't mean that it's unbalanced. Theyjust play more and quest more. You get that ancient armor and then see if you talk the same stuff which I doubt.....

I played some and did get some ancient armor. That doesn't change my opinion on pvp there being unbalanced.

Someone being more uber than me is fine, as long as there isnt a 0% chance I can even get a hit on them before they kill me instantly

Jubeiie(Kumadar), playing more is completely different than earning more. And tell me what is balanced about some guy with 20k AC, against someone the same level with like, 8k ac... I feel sorry mostly for casters without pets, they are worthless... Not even pet classes could kill melee, and if they could.. its someone who just started out... So, tell me again how its balanced? And I dont mean this is flaming KMRA in any way but, I just feel my suggestion could be useful is all, sorry if I offended anyone...

To my knowledge, PoWar is the only zone that was made PvP in this manner. I don't think the pvp balance is something that should be given top priority if this is the only zone it'll affect.

If the plans are to make more zones like this, then they'll have to take a long look at it... but barring something like that, concentrating too much on pvp balance could hurt PvE balance. See DAoC for examples of that.

Where the balancement takes place is.... there will be no competition when the guy with all the sick gm gear garbage takes the zone.... There is no point to PoWar :/

In what fucking world you live ? in my country, you would have less chance to get ill by drinking pure river water where fish are then drinking water you buy in supermarket ...
I will learn you something, if some race of fish live in a river, it show the water is extremely pure (yeah, even if they poo in it ...).

To return on the post topic ..

Please, i don't understand why KMRA server problem are on this EQEMU forum. :(
After Guildwars, now KMRA and tomorrow ? We must make a FLAME server section no ? that is a good idea for child's pleasure :( Sorry but i'm too old.
My advise ? Plz just read forum rules, i think they are here for a good thing...

No worry, it will be your turn soon :/

I stopped playing on KMRA, Ive asked gms if they summoned there stuff mort, they openly say yes. I've been a gm on a few servers and one thing I know is that you have to have competent working gms, who push aside playing on the server and decide that they are there to continue the balance of the server. once a gm decides they are there to play, and moderate, thats when problems arise. some people just like haveing the power, and others realise they are there, and have a responsibility. Ive seen very few gms that realise this on KMRA.

Richardo · #12 04-28-2005, 04:42 AM

Oh well guys, some people enjoy it, some don't... This is why there are varieties of servers for everyone and if there arn't, guess what.. They can make their own

RangerDown · #13 04-28-2005, 04:44 AM

Some tips that any server could use:

I believe that the current code has, and has had for a few months now, an audit log that it writes to for any command that requires an access level above 0. I suggest that server ops periodically review the file which is probably located under the logs/ subfolder of their eqemu folder.

Also there is a log_level (or something similar) in the variables table. Change the value of this to turn on logging of player trades and possibly other items of interest. This will log certain things to an "eventlog" table that is in the database.

Finally, check the database table "hackers" periodically. Anyone in this table has attempted to use a GM flag hack -- causing the client to believe they are a GM and then using one of the GM-only / commands.

Playing and GMing isn't a big issue if you're just selective with your staff and moderate them via logs.

I'd say not letting your GMs play is a bigger issue because they'll grow bored and quit.

Lexen(Richardo) I do not even play the character "Iamien" anymore and I have NEVER played with a character that I summoned items for. Also the only time I have summoned an item was by KingMort's Permission. And to your comment of

I volunteer on KMRA to help with the addition to content that KingMort wishes. I do not even play on KMRA anymore for that exact reason, acusations of cheating. I have devoted alot of time to KMRA whether it is spawning entire zones, spawning quest mobs, writing quests, or running events. I am not saying there is not corrupt GMs in EQEMU but do not accuse somebody of being corrupt withouy knowing for sure.
