and being treated like idiots by burned out tech support agents and csrs that call the shots here is why the majority of your player base has buggered off.

Seriously, lighten up and just answer questions, no matter how repetitive or stupid they may seem to you.

Teach a man to fish...

That is all.

one little IMHO - can you make "http://www.eqemulator.net/head_01_nb.jpg" image on the top of the forum screens to also be the link BACK to the main page? That little link all way down a bit hard to find =)

Just my little 1/10th of a cent...but as far as setting up the client, to even finding info for building a server, I had no problem at all following the main links on the page. Support info and maybe what I'd call "advanced" configurations is another matter, but far too many possible ways to setup machines and networks, no one is perfect. Like its been said many times over, search the forums. Not going to say that is an easy task, but it has and will continue to do so...help me out a lot. Just need to figure out some of the other things I've got going on, I'll find the answers soon enough. But well done to all that have made this project. Last thing, search first, ask questions later.

Broken links, old wikis, inaccurate stickies, popular topics confusing and reconfusing for years...

Yes, that is a major problem. There just are not enough people to make everything work perfect. If other people's priorities do not match your own, you are free to contribute to areas needing more help. You don't want to spend the next 3 months fixing the wikis, merging all information into a more useable form, and deleting all the old posts/archives? Hmm sounds like everyone else is the source of your problems. EQEmu would be a lot better without them huh? We could enjoy a nice flowery front-page together, maybe have some forums and compete for a post-count?

I'm confused Narc, are you saying people should keep their suggestions to themselves?

I don't think he is saying not to suggest things. But, if you haven't ever contributed here, you haven't really earned the right to complain.

You have to understand, a lot of people dedicate a lot of time to keep this thing going for zero pay and we get several people each week doing nothing more than complaining that it's not easy enough for them.

So, when you're too lazy to look through old posts and see that these subjects have been beaten to death, people tend not to be so nice about it.

The guy who said "Lighten up and answer the questions" .. If I was a mod, he'd be banned.

I intended my post to sound informative and helpful. But I ended up being more rude than I wanted as I actually started typing. This was not directed at the OP. It was directed, poorly, only at flugel.

But as Theeper said, we don't care for selfish complaints. Suggestions are always welcome. Always. Help is even more welcome. Arrogant complaints from people posing as if the devs here somehow owe them... well that just pisses me off, and I'm not even a dev.
