If you ask he ill set it up to track you uptime and player average then decide if it *popular* enough for it.


In other words, talk to Doodman and stop talking crap when you dont know whats up, he is the most impartial and fair person in this community.

Oh..Im not complaining. Im just expressing an idea I had that may or may not help a little. Im just saying that if someone were bored one day and decided to write a little program into the login server it might be something to try out.
I mean if Dudeman would still want to choose for himself thats fine. But if he wanted to not have to worry about complaints he could make the server make all the decisions. The idea is. Its something that might be implemented and give server ops something more than just making a server. It helps players to know who has been there the longest. Bla bla bla. Ill leave it at that.
And thanks for the info about the impartiality of Dudeman. If ever I feel that my server is deserving. Ill ask him.

You know, life is cruel sometimes; me? Im jealous you have a real cool avatar and I don't get any!
Which reminds me; at one time, wasn't there a "Planet of the Apes" line the Orcs in Gfay used to holler (in a battle cry), somewhere in the line of "You'll not ruin my lands like you did yours!!" - If I could only remember exactly how it went. I'd throw that in the scripts I'm making.
I always thought whoever made the Orcs had the original Planet of the Apes movie in mind. as the Orcs sort of looked like them and were upset over the everyone screwing up their land.

EDIT;
I think I found it;
"You've ruined your lands. You'll not ruin mine!"

"You've ruined your lands. You'll not ruin mine!"

from a Gnoll in Highpass and Blackburrow. and also the orcs in s-ro used to tell me a different version.

Bark Bark! You've ruined your own lands, you'll not ruin mine!

also the Druids in Karnas used to say "natural selection at it's finest"
when they killed undeads or something evil that wandered into the druid rings.

Yeah, I believe a few races shouted that upon initiating combat... so much so it turned into "$name, you have ruined your own underpants, you shall not ruin mine!" that we'd shout through zones during boring travel times.

Using $name when its npc vs npc creates a problem;

" guard_soandso_001 You've ruined your lands. You'll not ruin mine!" the 001 looks out of place.

I was only using it as a placeholder. I didn't really use $name.

Guard Bob shouts, "Angelox, you have ruined your own underpants, you shall not ruin mine!"

Before I picked a server I checked out each one with anyone logged in that I could talk to. They all seemed fun but all were different.

I chose the peq server 'grand creation' because I wanted to play the game something like the way it was when I played it. And it is pretty close but there are many differences. To name a few: The #peqzone command is enabled for players allowing access to almost any zone quickly. When you die you are returned to your game starting point with all of your equipment and cannot be rezzed. No mob flees when low on health though casters do gate. Aggro has a different feel to it... etc.

Many who play EQEmu multibox. Often this helps because at times there may be very few actual people playing there and access to the different buffs makes things happen. On peq I think warrior/monk/shaman.. maybe a cleric too are a good combo.
