I don't really care one way or the other in regards to Ruinspire or Drak or any who have beef with him. I pirate the fuck out of everything. As for most the stuff around here from an artistic view...We NEED more pirated shit!!

Watching the video is not violation.

Also, the code that runs the servers is owned by the EQEmu developers. So unless they are going to start snatching clients from players they have no ground to stand on.

Don't take this the wrong way, but my suggestion would be to keep all your updates on your own forums. The people that are interested in and support your project will see the updates there and are far less likely to respond negatively. Even then, you are able to moderate your forums and remove any post or user that is negatively affecting the atmosphere or community that you are trying to create.

This thread was put out there to get new people's interests in RuinSpire and show a little bit of what I am doing with the server. Nothing more. Negative feedback on this thread does not affect my attitude or drive for creating this new server. I have actually done my best to understand where people are coming from and stay professional. I have already owned up to my last 3 servers failing because I made some mistakes and it's time to move forward. People posting things like "It's going to happen again, mark my words." just make me want to work harder on RuinSpire and make sure it's one of the best damn servers to ever come to EQemulator.

To be more than unbias here, we all make mistakes and bad decisions in our lives, then
hope not to make the same mistake again, but rather learn from it, until the next time.
Out of all the negative feedback towards any servers on these forums, the one I see
the most is usually when a server goes down, leaving many disgruntled players. And I
can understand, those players put a lot of time and effort in to the toons they create.
I realize it takes a lot of effort to develop and maintain a server, lots of ups and downs
along the way, but personally, persevering to keep the server alive, I would think is of
the utmost priority. Maybe lots of headaches, trials and tribulations after it's up, but
when it is up, it can do nothing but move forward. Clicking the off switch is a step in
the wrong direction.
