New progression server - Gnomish Proving Grounds

[gnode]

He is correct.

Inny is down. Level cap is now 51. Once CT is dead it will go to 52. I am going to require a good effort attempt on sky before Kunark is released. Many of us have all of our old world portions of epic complete and are itching to go to Kunark.

We also had our all time high of 30 people online at once during that inny raid. There was some lag so I have quadrupled our upload bandwidth. We should be able easily support ~75 players at once now.



Recap:
Ringmail/cloth has minor stats and drops off skeletons to help newbies.

Twice as much loot drops per kill, so gearing up is a lot quicker.

Good exp bonus and group exp bonus (2boxing encouraged). I would say we are 1-2 weeks out from Kunark. You would have plenty of time to get 50 before kunark.

Old items drop such as jboots off Drelzna. Manastone drops but is very rare.

Gods currently have their original loot, including items removed from the game.

Mayong is in the game with all custom loot in line for the era.

Many of us are in full hate gear (done more hate than fear, tons of war/clerics). Anyone who joins will get twinked fast due to lack of competition and double drop rates.

Right now we are still tank heavy. We need DPS DPS DPS. Severe lack of necros. We could use more rogues/monks/rangers/mages/wizards/necros and also need a good enc or two.

I have started a Mage but I am pretty casual. Really enjoying myself on your server. Just got murdered by a Griffin in east commons, lol.

You know a forum would kinda help. Apparently the site for the custom files was down for a bit or something and people had to email each other them or something.

Loving this server, by the way. Helping me cope with the loss of EQC. Tried playing on PEQ but it got very boring with later expansions, even with infinite AA's. Anywho, thanks for havin this all set up, Tiny.

Nazi Proving Grounds! Come play but ONLY IF you like to be forced to raid with every single person who logs in, oh and have the guild name "OMGWTFBBQSAUCE".

I formed my own guild, after helping the server extensively on raids and decided to lead my own. The very first raid where myself and my guildies conquered Venril Sathir half my equipment is removed. The other GM on the server idlely sits by telling me "He doesn't care" and then enjoys loot. Oh I might add loot we couldn't use was dispersed among people on the server! What a travisty to have a raid on the server that doesn't include every single person! Hey maybe I'm over-reacting. Well:



So play here in the lovely yester year of the Nazi regime, or don't unless you like bringing any and every person on with you everywhere!!

Toodles!

Now, while I couldn't give a damn about this server, or the players on it, or the server OPs, I do have to say that server ops do have 100% control of you. You broke his server's rule (even if it was "nazish" in your opinion, which in itself is a childish way to retort comparing a server to genocide.) and he did what he deemed was necessary. When you log on to a server, you forfeit all control of your rights and only have the rights they give you; thus, if a server has a rule where admins can knock you back with AvatarKnockback any time they want, while stupid, the rule still gets enforced as you are not the server op. It's just that simple.

The only thing I see happening past this post is a bunch of flaming, pointing fingers, and blatant destruction of a thread. So, can we continue this civilized before a mod has to intervene?

Pleeaaaasseeee?

Sure, rules have to be adhered too but they should be stated clearly. Hey no big deal I left, but I have as much right to post my opinions as he has to enforce what I deem ridiculous rules.

Also, comparing server control to Nazism OBVIOUSLY is a way to convey stringent rules, but hey lets make everything in life politically correct. Your name is secrets, why not keep your thoughts that way then?

Sounds like you should take a little bit of your own advice and keep to yourself. Someone got owned on a game, and now they are whining on a messageboard. I don't know what's more pathetic, your childish retorts against someone who you broke rules on their property with, or that.

I had people like that flame me when I first started out as well..

Hang in there man ... If you love what you do then no one can tell you any different
