Just a heads up for people thinking about trying this server:
It is a cool server and has really good scripted events,but the hosts attitude problem will surely drive you away.
I went to the server because I saw his post here
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26446 saying that it's now hosted 24/7,and they're looking for more population.I get there and lvl chars for 3 days,and then the guy starts shutting the server down for like 10 hours every night overnight,which is when I normally would be playing.I go to the forums and ask about it in a not rude way,and state that I only play on/came there because he said it's hosted 24/7,so if it's going to be getting shut off all the time I'm not going to put any more time into it.
Then the guy comes back on the forums all pissed off running his mouth at me saying,I don't need you comming here saying shit,If anything like this happens again I'm not gonna host the server for you ungratefull people,and bitching about how he shuts the server off because his electric bill is $300 dollars from leaving his computer on.
Like I said above,I wouldn't of came to your server if it wasn't posted that it's on 24/7.I don't like to waste my time lvling chars to not be able to even get into the server to use them.Servers that are not 24/7 are usually nothing but a hassle,and run by young immature kids who's mommy shuts their computer off at nite nite time.I didn't force you to post that you are hosting 24/7,so don't run your mouth at me for being pissed that you are not 24/7 and wasted my time.You posted it-your fault not mine.And about your electric bill...all this crap is happening less then 1 week after posting that your hosting it 24/7?? Did you not think about this stuff before you posted looking for population? If your not responsable enough to run a server don't try to get people to come to it and waste their time.
The funniest thing about the whole situation is when he said... other people in my house shut the server off too,so if it's gets shut off it's NOT MY FAULT!!
Yes it is nobody's fault but your own if you can't keep other people from shutting off YOUR computer.You want me to waste my time playing on your server when you have random people just shutting your server off whenever they feel like it?So you shut it off every night over night,and then other times during the day at random times other people will just shut it off too??....Nice,sign me up,sounds real organized and mature!! Thanks for wasting my time and then trying to get pissy with me and spin it around like I'm the a$$hole.
Since all of this,he has obviously just thrown a temper tantrum and taken the server and forms down.If he ever gets it back up,it would be a really good server if they can get hosting and he tones down his attitude problem and immature fits when someone is posting the truth.
This is just my experience,and a precautionary heads up for people that like 24/7 servers.
