As a matter of fact, once they left staff. Things slowly started to decay as the 'people in charge' lost interest and stopped visiting completely. I can understand why Doodman didn't want to give it up to devnoob. Devnoob and Image left the team on bad terms which likely put a sour taste in some peoples mouth. That's completely understandable but if you were here in that era before the drama started, you would have remembered that EQEMU was the most stable and reliable. Don't get me wrong, I am not giving all of that credit to dev or image. What I am giving them credit for is their knowledge. They could be such an incredible asset to the development of EQEMU and it really is a shame to throw that away.

qft.
When i first started playing on eqemu, I can't think of one time the loginserver went down. Now, it's down about 44% of the time?

1. Launched DoS attacks on the community's public login server, depriving EVERYONE the ability to simply come home and play their favorite video game.

2. Whined, complained and bitched when Doodman, Rogean, FNW decided to pass stewardship of the project and community to KLS, a person they decided they could trust and who has, indeed, earned the respect and trust of the whole community.

3. Launched malformed packet attacks against PEQ and other game servers who haven't decided to trust a well established hacker to service their game servers.

Proof?

I've heard wind of this DoS attack and frankly I am surprised people are actually defending this guy. Pretty sad when somebody can take the enjoyment of the game away from 100's, then a few weeks later offer a "free" login server. I personally would be VERY suspect of using that login server hosted by a person that has "HACKED" eqemu LS. Someplace somebody said that Devnoob only did it during the development of his server or something...you know what...THAT IS JUST WRONG! Somebody who thinks they can "test" or hack whenever they feel like it and not give a crap about the other 100+ players play at that time....wow!

If life shows us one thing it is that history will repeat itself....Take a look at some old news OLD NEWS And you will all be assured that EQEMU will survive as it has done so many times before.

Now lets just get on with the show and make this place better then ever !

[slynnes]

Wow this is starting to feel like BSG.

I hear slynnes is secretly a cylon, dying of cancer, teacher-turned president that's inspired by the living gods through thousands of year old prophecies. He's come to resurrect the login server and lead humanity to a new era of prosperity and login-server-uptime-gaming. And a habitable planet.

Blame Canada.

[KLS]

O Canada!

...I think this has gone on long enough.

I hope things get better. That's all.
