Varlyndria is now running on a fast amazon VPS and the really bad lag has been completely dealt with. I am working on making this place as great as I can and I have new content on the way. Come join us on Discord by clicking my signature. Have fun.

Why would I pay to play, errrr, donate, so you can shut the server down in a month or two?

I'll donate to EZ, or for the login server, or for an established server. Stick around for two years and we'll talk.

like sanctuary, great ideas and great work/quality mired by the toxic attitude and constant abrupt changes in direction offered by the owner of the server.

how long will this iteration be around?

You might earn back some goodwill by giving previous donors some credits on the server. You've burned some of us numerous times. You're a very talented developer who makes very good servers but you've fooled me far more than the one time I give most people.

Zemus, this new project is in its infancy and will get better. I created that server you love and miss. I can always turn the new Varlyndria into the parts of Eriviyn you enjoyed. What do you miss about Eriviyn?

I do appreciate the compliment and I am sorry for the past servers going belly up. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had a lot of problems when I was younger and in-experienced in EQemu. Not to mention RL problems. You have a nice idea about credit to past donators, however, adding such a thing would be difficult as I don't want to share personal information on the website. I could however add the names of the characters possibly if I can find the documentation on my old computer.

I don't make these servers to just run off and quit them. As you can see, I have put hours of work into this new server and it's growing pretty fast. I want to keep things going and having more control with little stress in my life will help with that.

So, over the years (2012+) you have created several servers.
From Varlyndria, to Ascension, to Eriviyn, to Varlyndria again.
The previous 3 renditions lasted 5 months, 3 months, and 2-3 months respectively.
During this time, you not only had several mental overloads and banned people, but you also made nearly $20,000 in the first month of one of your servers (the one that had a $660 Donator tier).
This all followed by and surrounded with you going incognito on your 'oslander' account to shit on Akkadius and other peoples' servers/ideas simply to promote your own.
Players have continued to support you and give you chance after chance, but when they voice their opinions in a way that is displeasing to you, they are simply banned/kicked/muted in to oblivion so no one care hear their complaints.
I believe you think you have solid ideas and know what you are doing to an extent, but you do not have the trust of most of the community, aside from loyal basement dwellers and previous donators eager to empty their wallets at your feet.

Just so none of what I said is taken to be "flaming" or "slander", here is a list links to various threads outlining the things you have said and done, as well as the longevity of your projects and the outrage of players regarding your greedy habits.

Gosh, when I saw all these donate buttons all over these server sites, I didn't realize some might be raking it in like that. My wallet is definately skeptical of what's real and what's not around all of this. It was only 15 a month to play on the daybreak servers for complete content. wow

Daybreak money goes directly to Russia where it's used to corrupt our Great American Way of Life. Money donated to servers stays in America, going to great corporations like McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Wal-Mart, home of the 48 pack of Hot Pockets.

You... you're not a Trump supporter are you?

Are these numbers legit???
I was under impression that if maybe 20 people will give you $10 each you can consider this a success. People REALLY spent THAT MUCH???
I am genuinely shocked.
