I wouldnt trust any other server to be there a year from now.(I dare say Innoruuk will be there though)And you dont want to lose all you have worked for.

I would have to agree if you want a more live like game play on PEQ. Innoruuk, is mostly for soloing and multi boxing, the most people that play on it are old guildies from the Original "SOE" Innoruuk Server.

Dude. You have been in there solid for a looong time! You deserve some mention. You know they should have a way for the login server to record uptimes on all the servers that log in. If a server goes down for more than 15 minutes then it starts its uptime all over. The servers that have the most uptime have a chance to be on the preferred server list. And if you are a preferred server for for a certain amount of time AND you have the most population base of the preferred servers you can become a legends server.
If some rules and a system could be worked out like that I think it would make for some solid servers with an easy way for noobs to choose.

Wouldnt that be great competition? I know I wouldnt want to give up my preferred server status too quickly. I would be trying to make the best most stable system I could.

There is no such thing as getting on a perfered Server Listing by keeping you server uptime over 90%....
it's if your liked or not by the ServOp.
theres a little admin login button on the main server listing.

So what are saying? The loginserver OP logs in there? If so then what happens? What about the program itself? Couldnt that be added to list the servers the way it wants to? Or just make its own decisions?

Doodman controles who get perfered Server status, and to quote him "people keep complainin but not one person has asked me"


If you ask he ill set it up to track you uptime and player average then decide if it *popular* enough for it.


In other words, talk to Doodman and stop talking crap when you dont know whats up, he is the most impartial and fair person in this community.

This is all I would count on for "popular"... average, active players, and uptime maybe but... active players wouldn't be on a server with a lot of downtime (Morell-Thule, anyone? HA)

Oh..Im not complaining. Im just expressing an idea I had that may or may not help a little. Im just saying that if someone were bored one day and decided to write a little program into the login server it might be something to try out.
I mean if Dudeman would still want to choose for himself thats fine. But if he wanted to not have to worry about complaints he could make the server make all the decisions. The idea is. Its something that might be implemented and give server ops something more than just making a server. It helps players to know who has been there the longest. Bla bla bla. Ill leave it at that.
And thanks for the info about the impartiality of Dudeman. If ever I feel that my server is deserving. Ill ask him.

You know, life is cruel sometimes; me? Im jealous you have a real cool avatar and I don't get any!
Which reminds me; at one time, wasn't there a "Planet of the Apes" line the Orcs in Gfay used to holler (in a battle cry), somewhere in the line of "You'll not ruin my lands like you did yours!!" - If I could only remember exactly how it went. I'd throw that in the scripts I'm making.
I always thought whoever made the Orcs had the original Planet of the Apes movie in mind. as the Orcs sort of looked like them and were upset over the everyone screwing up their land.

EDIT;
I think I found it;
"You've ruined your lands. You'll not ruin mine!"
