Time to update the Preferred (Green) List, methinks...

[Skaxx]

SoAmerous has been up there forever, but since the data wipe/hack/etc, and even before that when PoFear was untouchable, the server population has dropped to a steady 0-2 people. Unfortunately, the same goes for Akkadius' server, which has waited over a year for a promised update/complete server rehaul. I love and devoted much time to both of these servers, but there are a couple servers which really deserve the bump to these currently occupied slots.

LootFest currently sports 30-50+ not only at peak times, but generally early morning through well after midnight. Great population, even greater community, could always use a few more.

Varlyndria is probably the most unique server right now, boasting 48 "classes" with their own fun take on each of the traditional EQ classes, impressive quest lines, great lore, the ability to run 5 bots (that albeit will never be as great as 5 other players with their specialized class paths), and a host of unique items, spells, and clickies. It is constantly updated, and is already coming into it's first major content update.

These servers truly do deserve to go green.

I couldn't agree with you more. Infact I will take Funhouse off of the green list myself as I've not had any measurable time to put forth towards it and it was never intended to be an actual server.

As far as the other servers are concerned, they have to be collectively decided by us (administrators) to demote or promote. I'm sure Trevius will agree that some of these are deserving but Rogean is the only one who has access to make any LS changes in the background.

I would definitely agree that more servers could be made green. Again, only Rogean currently has access to make that happen and I have no idea what it takes to get his attention on matters like this anymore. The last change to server status was in this post over a year and a half ago:

That's a pretty annoying statement especially considering you know exactly how to get a hold of me. Sending me a PM or saying my name in the dev channel in IRC has always gotten to me. Don't act ignorant that you can't reach me when you won't use the means to do so.

Achieving green status has always been about maintaining a decent population as well as striving to provide a positive and stable experience for players and this community. You guys can always come up with a list of recommendations and then shoot me the link on IRC.

Also helps if your server name doesn't start with EQ and end with Titan.

After meeting the above requirements every server is passed through the dev team for feedback / voting. EQTitan didn't pass that vote.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to come off as being rude about it. I never directly push very hard to get a response from you. I was mainly referring to this recent post where GeorgeS had to move his tools from your hosting because he couldn't get in touch with you:

1:
Think you mentioned once in the past about the requirement for servers to be registered. I would love to see the ability for a server to connect that is not registered be removed.
2:
Can we get [ Gold - Green - Something else - no status ]
Not sure if thats possible but it would be nice to be able to move no status servers every 3-6months to the 'new lowest' status and out of the muck of test/dev servers.

I think Loot Fest and Varlyndria are both pretty solid servers, having played on both (well, and just about any other server with a description, I server hop a lot).

/backontopic

LootFest and Varlydria are IMO very worth, great pop servers, etc listed above. Please consider them Rogean.

[Thorkinal]

For what it is, Id like to also like to speak for Varlyndria, Drakiyth is by far the most active dev ive seen on a server, its easy to get into communication with him and his dedication to his project is above and beyond, would be happy to see the server get the recognition I feel it deserves.

I was not around here when all the EQTitan stuff went down and I really do not care about it. I would never give them a thumbs up because they refuse to share anything back to the community.

I know my skills have limited what I have contributed to the source, but I have at least contributed. I've been trying to learn enough about the source to figure out the expedition system then I read things like this on their forums.

An apparently working expedition system (obviously expanded to non expedition zone but hey that part is awesome)??? Just leaves ashes in my mouth.
