wow.

my name is Sirken, i am a GM on the VZ/TZ Server, and since the thread was re-opened, i'd like to explain a few things here.

1) first of all, its a pvp server. 90% of all players feel they were cheated if they lose any fight. defeat is a hard thing to admit for some.

2) all servers have kids using MQ. on blue servers like PEQ, or p1999, players arent using MQ against each other in regular pvp combat, so A) it goes largely unnoticed, and B) largely unreported.

3) yes. we absolutely spend time monitoring the activities of any and all new staff members. especially strangers (like you) to the community. 1 bad GM can cause more damage than 100 players. furthermore, lets not forget that you were caught cheating.

4) You Got Caught Cheating you were logging on multiple accounts, and you were playing (which is against staff rules) from behind a proxy, so you obviously knew what you were doing was wrong.

5) actually, i do not drink. if i recall correctly, you were the one that was "drunk on wine" and started summoning players out of a raid party in the middle of their raid without legit reasoning or warning, while a simple /tell would have sufficed.

6) yes, we have rules against people dropping extremely ignorant racial slurs in our public channels, and we enforce our rules. i know what your thinking, just who do we think we are when we believe our players shouldnt have to endure racial badgering from anyone on the server, that includes players and staff.

7) yes, the GMs trap people to catch them using MQ. its called a sting, and we've been doing them for over a year. we have something in place that crashes most MQ, however, there are ways around that. so, we set up stings on suspected players. furthermore, any player that feels wronged by the staff, has the option (as per the rules) to dispute the ruling. final conclusions.. don't use MQ, period.

as far as the rest of the staff, i am VERY PROUD to be on this staff and to know that each one of us follow the posted staff rules, and furthermore that this staff will remove corrupt and/or cheating GMs instantly.

oh, and if you honestly think im cheating, or bias, feel free to contact our head GM (Voidd) and file a report against me, i would absolutely welcome it.

please also feel free to ask the community about me, im very confident that players of all factions will tell you that while i have zero tolerance for rule breaking, im extremely fair in dealing with players. sadly for you, i have no patience for people that join the staff in an attempt to turn the server into their personal play land. we on this staff all take this server very very seriously, and you do not.

For the short period I was on VTZek staff and met Sirken some time ago, I saw that he was a solid guy without the irregular qwirks that can typically label one as a 'bad apple'. I think the vtzek staff have done a good job at what they do.

It's rough running a pvp server for sure....

For real, running a pvp server is not for the faint of heart. It sounds like the original poster helped the current staff start "scouting" the talent more carefully. So, I guess for that, he's a blessing.

Anyway, yeah...

I'm fairly new to the server. Started a few months ago with my girlfriend (William and Concordea). The staff has been nothing but helpful for us. We have met alot of really cool players and havnt really had any problems with cheaters. Sirken is the man! Saya and Puma always help players out when a quest is broken or have any other Issue. The one time I had to deal with Aich alone was when my corpse was stuck somewhere from when the server had crashed. He never responded directly to me in tells. Instead he just went straight to OOC and started spouting off about how he isnt going to help anyone unless its related to bla bla bla... He basically went off on a rant when he could have simply said "Hey man I'm sorry but I can't help you." and that would have been fine.

The rest of the staff has been great. I couldnt see myself putting in as much time and effort as they do (while acting so proffesionally) for something that is like a second job that they dont get paid for.

Thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

Funn how when I was a GM when you posted this, and I never did that, another reaosn not to play this broken server. I did my best for server but it full of crybaby liars. There are plenty of <Hanpicked> which I helped.

Its a fools job, lol losers discarding me and my help but infact it was just that help. All of the current GM are scared to post what helpful stuff I did in fear of Voidd.
