The next time you go to grab anything released by PEQ after 12/5/06, don't. Otherwise, you'll look like a big damn hypocrite. This includes any quest file written since then. PEQ, is in all reality a sub project of EQEmu. Everything that gets done there is released here. We depend on each other. Our content is useless without a server, and likewise, EQEmu's server is useless without content. To top that, The Grand Creation, run by me is used as a test server for the entire EQEmu project. A good amount of the bugs corrected in the code are posted on PEQ's forums, not here and picked up by KLS or Wild there. Database DEVELOPMENT is important as well, you know. But, if you need more traditional examples:
http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=24611, not to mention the several changes I have in the EQEmu changelog. They aren't much, but they are several more than you have I bet. I won't even get into the time spent here attempting to support and help others.

Is that your post? I bet it is, the grammar is dead on. Do a search, it was never deleted.
You provided pre-compiled binaries (no code changes, you just compiled against 5.0, or had somebody do it for you!), and 2 (of 4) required, but elementary sql changes for 5.0 compatibility. This is in addition to attacking people (big fucking surprise) to the point that FNW directed this at you:
"Please do not take such a negative attitude in the future towards the work we do here. Talking crap about us or the code does nothing but aggrivate us, help is appriciated, criticism without solution provided is not."
Woah, still applies. Imagine that.
Wildcard provided the other 2 changes, and as he said he would have provided all 4 anyway, without you posting them. He was a huge advocate of moving to MySQL 5.0, I know this because he and I got into it a long, long while back regarding that and MyISAM vs. InnoDB table formats.
Now, here is the actual changelog entry that came out of that post:
==06/18/2006
FatherNitwit: necro DOT feign death fix (unicorn97211)
FatherNitwit: Disable kill-pet-on-feigndeath by default (features.h FEIGN_KILLS_PET)
MySQL 5 compatibility increases (WildcardX):
alter table account DROP packencrypt;
alter table character_ change extprofile extprofile blob NULL;
alter table player_corpses change data data blob NULL;
alter table player_corpses_backup change data data blob NULL;
As you can see, FNW committed that change since Wildcard didn't have access at the time. FNW gave credit to Wildcard. You don't ask FNW to give you credit, he does it on his own. Therefore, Wildcard had nothing to do with this. There wasn't even any code, it was 4 MySQL queries.
So, you have bashed Wildcard's name because FNW gave him credit for 2 of 4 MySQL queries. Why didn't your name appear? All the money I have is on the fact that it was an oversight. Wild's post was newer, and provided all 4 queries. FNW probably saw that, and just put it in. I would have done the same in his place. Had you provided all 4 queries, your name would have appeared there.
I would suggest keeping your mouth shut, to prevent looking even more like a fool than you do now.
