Gnomish Proving Grounds (progression, minor customizations)

Yeah I noticed that too.. anyone have any idea where its at

Server population sure is healthy right now, was 50 on when I logged on today.

Yup population has been great. So great in fact I was forced to move up to a newer version of eqemu to help keep things stable with more players.

Status update: We are pretty far in to Velious now. The remaining feats that need to be accomplished are kill all 4 warders (killed Tuk last night) and Vulaak (rest of ntov has been cleared).

I won't let Luclin come out for at least 1 month from now since I really like Velious. I think it is the best part of the game. In one month or when Vulak and the remaining warders have been killed (whichever comes last) we will move on to Luclin.

I also put in place a cap of 3 characters per IP to make room for more players. Bandwidth should support ~60-75 connections so I want to be sure that boxing does not keep new people from being able to play. If you have a special requirement such as room mates/family, send me a pm here or on our board and I will work with you.

Fiber will be in my area some time in the spring. I plan to upgrade to that ASAP. In my area, anywhere from 2mb - 20mb up should be possible. I will take whatever the max is that is still economical. I have already upgraded the memory in the machine, and as always, remain committed to any upgrades that are needed as we grow.

Server update definitely fixed stability problems. Doing NToV right now with 40 people in the raid and 50 people online:

This may have been mentioned, but since the original post wasn't updated, our current website is http://gnomishpg.com/

It looks like GPG is back? I see it on the server list and its starting to look like its getting popular again. Is there a website? Is it back at classic and progresing again?

GM abuses power and plays favorites here, banned me cause his friends thought i got too much loot on raids

Any proof of this? Not to be rude but making a statement against someone's credibility should require proof that it happened other than your word.

He is the 2nd person I have had to ban in nearly a year.

We have a simple loot policy. We roll on loot, but you can't be a loot whore. He would continue to roll time after time. After winning several items on a raid he would continue to roll on loot. This was brought up to him by me and others. He even thought it funny to make his last name "Lootwhore"

I had numerous complaints from people about him. After pruning him, I got nothing but thanks from the population.

I regret having to ban people, but sometimes (rarely) it is necessary. His personality was just not a good fit. We are just not the right server for him.

Hey guys Malicious/Soothe here. Just thought I'd say hello. Haven't met you yet Tiny, but looking forward to a raid or two.

I've raided with the gang in ToV, but it is just about impossible to down Vulak. I'm not sure if I was there for 80% of the raid, but it was great fun.

Keep up the good work Tiny, and thanks for bringing EQ back!

I don't play on this server anymore, but I did for the first two expansions. Other than maybe summoning people to raids without asking first *cough*

, Tiny runs a very clean server, and I have a lot of respect for him.

I might not have agreed with the first people he banned, but it sounds like it was warranted in this case. Loot policy is general knowledge on his server, they are very clear on that. Its designed specifically to be fair for everyone.
