Gates of Time - New Server Currently in Luclin will go to Planes of Power and Beyond

[TheRealTombs]

Iance (Ikubi) do not post here if all you are going to do is lie and attack people. I'm not sure why you are so upset about us (Noble Heroes) leaving P02 to come to a new server but you are clearly personally hurt by it. I would argue you point by point like Felouire did but it is pointless because I know people like you, and people like you are always right.

so is basically everyone supporting this server's thread in the guild that transferred over here and just giving false advertisement about "starting" here and how great the server is? not trolling or flaming or anything, just want to figure out if its actual new people playing here or not that didn't transfer with as said above max level/gear

After seeing all this I decided to try it for myself.

Don't know about everyone posting in the thread just shilling for the server but I'd be inclined to say most are since they all have 1-2 posts and they read like fake testimonials. Their website, at least their front page, is directly ripped from another server's website as mentioned above. I can also confirm most of their population is AFK and sitting in BiS gear.

The main reason I'm making this post is that this server is touted as having a "vibrant community" when in reality the above posts are pretty spot on. If you're not in the clique of players the server was made for you won't really experience that.

Overall I'm pretty disappointed. I defended this server in the early posts of this thread, but a lot of the posts made by their staff are disingenuous at best and straight up lies at the worst. There's no problem in making a server for your guild/friends/whoever but having all your friends write bullshit shill posts and labeling anyone who calls you out a troll or p99 player is pretty lame.

The server is pretty new and we have members from multiple guilds and multiple servers popping up daily on our server. A lot of us are indeed from Noble Heroes on P2002 but this server is just barely in its infancy. You will see bugs you will see stuff that staff needs to fix but again new server comes with new problems. I hope you try us out if you get the chance!

Well that explains everything, from what I gathered on the p99 post they were just some ex-P02 staff that left and were trying yet again to piece together a EQMac-style server, seems instead they're just a guild-only sandbox server that left P02.

No wonder they want anyone outside of their inner core to transfer, even if it's simply because they just are wearing P99 velious rags better than what they had on P02. This is their space space where all content is nerf and no serious competition can roam. Three box all luclin content wearing all cloth.

Why couldn't all of this been mentioned in the first place? I hate wasting my time.

[sunbeam]

I really don't know squat about this server, because I haven't made a char there.

But chief all the post counts on this sudden spurt of negative posts are suspiciously low.

It's... it's... as if someone got their jimmies rustled.

That said, just as someone eyeballing the setup, some of it seems a little odd. Character transfers - eh, it can help get a server going with upper levels to start getting yaks and whatnot in circulation, but given the nature of EMU servers no limitations is kind of crazy.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I had a mage with ALL the PoP era AA anyone would ever want. Literally everything in the class, archetype, whatever the other one was, and all the general anyone could want. Now they said level 60, so I have no idea what happens in that case.

I have Vulak's Robe (Darkness?), or something from Aten Ha Ra, or from Xegony - I literally can't remember. Along with things from GoD that are better than Time Gear.

And that isn't unbalancing? And lots of other people have the same story. Apparently the transfers end this month, so I dunno. Make more sense to have everyone come on board bare, with no AA, max level 60 if you ask me. And I also would not allow mages to know Manifest Orb. That would be plenty to kickstart the whole thing.

And this is a boxing server. I've come to hate MQ, but I have to admit after trying to schlep chars around Trakanon's Teeth using /follow, if you are going to box MQ is a must (well unless you can summon your other char).

[eldarian]

Your feedback is Always welcome Sunbeam but our community enjoys our server. So like a lot of servers out there, not every server is meant for everyone. It would be a bit foolish to transfer a character in past our current Era, thats just not going to happen. Any ways thanks for checking out our server.

This is simply not true. If you make it known you are looking for help we have some of the most helpful people in the EQEMU community. We have a post on our server forums to contact people if they are on as well and they will drop what they are doing to help those that need it. I seriously doubt you were exiled like this.

The fact of the matter is you dont know what people are doing. You honestly dont. Can I tell you this isnt happening? No i cant. But i really doubt people would leave their toons on all day to boost server numbers. We really have better things to do with our time.

I think your reality is seriously messed up if you think this would even be allowed to talk to someone like this on our server.

Seeing as THIS is our home page i think your trolling at this point.

Most of our players are most definitely 60 absolutely. A few top raiders definitely have BIS gear but not all completely geared but thats again because we transferred from another server. That server was p2002. If you have a problem with items gained from P2002 I think you should be posting on their post not ours.

Nothing what Ikubi or mjbcb0717 was untrue. Keep on shilling for your server bros. You even ask people to shill for it in your patch notes... LOL.

Yes, how dare we try to grow the server we play on by saying positive things about it.

[Cominon]

Wow! We seem to have struck a nerve with some people. This post will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and it already has 50+ replies!

I also transferred over with Noble Heroes from P2002. We left that server due to reasons we are not stating as we do not want to trash them or cause any drama. I enjoyed my time there, but it was time to leave. We had a whole guild think this same thing. It is really amazing that us leaving the server would cause you so much frustration. Shouldn't there be more content/targets open for you now that we aren't doing them? You should be happy!

As far as this server goes, I think it is really funny (and in a way flattering to those who started it) that it is barely a month old and is already being compared to servers that are years old. Yes, we players that transferred want to promote it and see it grow. Why wouldn't we want more people to play with? Like I said, it is a MONTH old. We are trying to get more people to try it out. No one is making anyone play here. If you don't like it, you don't have to play here. It is ok! If you do want to give it an honest try, feel free to reach out to anyone in Noble Heroes for any help. I am sure they will be glad to, or, at least, point you towards someone that is able to.

Someone pls respond about the ripped website.. It's not even just the layout of the front page your whole Welcome To/The Vision is almost word for word a ripoff as well.

[titofuentes]

I'm fairly new to the server. I played on p99 and p2002 at various times but RL always takes precedence. I just went and looked at the welcome to pages for p2002 and gates of time. They are similar but nowhere near close to word for word. Whoever thinks that might need to look into reading comprehension or glasses. SMH

Really? Reading comprehension or glasses huh? Blatant rip-off. So lets see the order of events here. So p2002 takes the code from TakProject, rebrands it their own and there was a ton of crap over that. Now you guys take the frontpage of p2002 and rebrand it as yours. Yeah, you can say what you want but at least 30% of the page is verbatim word for word. Bring it up in something like BeyondCompare and you can see the similar wording. So now someone has stolen something from p2002. I see a trend. Hey there is nothing wrong with using something with permissions but did the server op ask? According to the post on gatesoftime, Lance was quite pissed about you guys taking his frontpage.

Hey everyone is using the hard work of the developers here, Akkadius, KLS, Mack all put hard work in but you had better not start saying you wrote all of this. People probably would not mind if you emailed them and say "Hey can I use this?". But taking it without asking them because you are pissed, that is just not right. Oh and do not mind changing it at this point, believe me it is cached everywhere and easily retrievable.

Just got back from my reading comprehension class, my teacher said its a ripoff. The things I outlined here aren't even everything, if you read through them side-by-side you can find a few more things completely ripped or just have one word changed here or there. I just decided to stop since you're an obvious shill.
