I think now that his server is ready to start trying to get high player numbers, that Jibba changed his config to use his old login settings to put him back on the preferred list. His server was on the preferred list the first time it was up because it was in the top 2 or 3 custom servers. I think he hadn't set it until now because he has been doing a HUGE revamp on his server and really has done an amazing amount of work on it. He finally has most of his content completed and accessible, so it is time to up the player numbers

It's really a shame he doesn't have that much players with his quality of content. I know I ran into a similar issue when I ran Edge with Ailia, and it drove me to not work.

I'm hoping that never becomes the case with Zeb.

It seems people would rather have horribly unbalanced gameplay, where one class would dominate all, or the content would be too hard, or there's not enough content that they beat the game in a week.

But, if that's what the general populace wants... so be it. :/

You're beating on a dead horse here , look back though all the posts about this 'public login' server, and you'll see where nothing good ever comes out of these discussions.
It's something that's going to be the way it's going to be, there will be no changes, and if you don't like it, well, you can always 'lump it' ( no offense intended by me, but I sure wish someone would prove me wrong!).

I was contacted and asked about Zeb getting green, thats pretty much it.

I'v been thinking of making some system where people could nominate popular servers for green names, just not sure how I want to go about it. Don't want something where anyone can get their hands on a green name.

ima just go out on a limb here but i dont think asking for or suggesting green status for a certain server will help much.

I don't see anything wrong with someone requesting it be looked into. I am a player on EQTitan, I would love to see it moved up to green status. There is constant work/improvements done to the server and a great GM staff that is always there to help. Although I am not a member of the staff, I am however a dedicated player.

I am unsure what the criteria is for a green status, be it up time or player base but both are strong on Titan.

I am requesting that the possibility of EQTitan being moved to green status be considered.

Just being clear from following both projects, a vast portion of that work/improvements is done by the PEQ team and then implemented on EQTitan. [Fabled's were done on PEQ, but not released due to balance issue. All EQTitan did was enable them. Same with GoD/LDoN stuff. Though the recent movement to redesign old events is good; I hope the new versions are actual improvements and can be committed to the PEQ Database.]

I think the fact that it is sometimes unclear if content was written by the EQTitan team or if it was simply PEQ content released before being tested and balanced enough to release on PEQ is one of the things that prevents EQTitan from getting acknowledge, due to a perception of rip-off material that is poorly credited. [Not necessarily a true perception, just a perception]

Just a hypothesis from watching both servers develop. And I will fully admit I don't exactly know how much is going on behind the scenes. I just watch the change log for things submitted by Titan/Green and don't see much. Perhaps there is back-passing of information that is not shown there, in which case, my apologies for misunderstanding the situation.

PEQ develops their database for other servers to use... so who cares if EQTitan even gets 100% of their content from PEQ; I mean.. that IS the point of it isn't it?

Furthermore, why does their content source have anything to do with being a preferred server. Players have obviously already "voted" them as a preferred server as is pretty damn evident by the size of their player base. As of posting this they have more accounts logged in than ALL 7 of the preferred servers. They actually have more than twice as many accounts logged in as the top preferred server.
