Guild Wars Locked

DeletedUser · #1 02-26-2003, 11:16 AM

Guild Wars will be staying locked for a undetermined amount of time, it will be whatever it takes to make a legit server possible. In the last couple of weeks exploiting has been all over the Guild Wars server and it is obvious there is no fair play going on. I will be spending my time fixing these bugs and also working on getting EQEMu to work with EQLive with the other developers. During this time of the server being locked, we will be working on the content of the server (Quests, Events, etc.). I apologize for this, but there is no reason to host a legit server for people to exploit it.

I was only level 5, but this IS good for the server

It's difficult for many people to support the decision as currently they're so involved with the community on GW they want to continue playing

It is for the best though and anything that can improve our gaming experience should be recognised as being the main concern.
The emulation has come such a long way and it's a huge achievement to get this far. Many thanks for the work that you continue to put into Guild Wars Image, Devn00b & Lethal as well as all the other people not directly associated with GW.

I agree with the decision to lock down the server until appropriate changes can be made to better suit the needs of everyone. You may think now that this is not fun, cool, etc... But, you need to understand that this is for the good of the server as a whole. Image, Devn00b, Lethal, and those out there who put their work into the server have done a great job and all I see from them is great work. The suggestions and bug reports from the players help out a great deal as well to help this ever evolving community of online players. I would think us all so lucky to walk among this server that is being guided by such good people. In my short time on this server I have seen more commitment from people then my entire years at EQLive. I think that this server does need a forum of it's own and purhaps some other off-game/online things. Bug Email Address, Game Forum, Suggestions/Comments Forum, etc. etc. The better our communication the faster and more efficent we can get the server up and totally legit.

Great work Dev Staff of GW. And, thanks for the patience of the GW community in the wait to see the server rise above all others.

People just need to stop abusing bugs they find. Report it, keep what you got on the first occurance, then leave it alone until it's fixed. It's all about the players decisions that make a board completely legit.

I just want to say thank you...to all of you people who took away the best thing EQEmu has to offer us. Your stupid, pointless, and idiotic exploiting has robbed the legitimite players of the privlege of playing on a server that was worked hard on...only to be made non-available to the stupid f*ckers who deciced that they couldn't just play legitimtly...NO they had to be the biggest and the best...no matter what the cost and no matter how they do it...did they once think about the consequences that would entail. No...now because of their stupid actions, I and many of the legitimite players are stuck with the same old non legitimite servers with #summonitem this and #summonitem that.

And the hard work that went on to this project...all to no avail, the whole concept just shi*ted on by these fucking exploiters. You guys make me sick man...you are just not cool...if I was an administrator in this project...you would be banned...if I find out any of you f*ckers who were exploiting on this server, you will be banned on any server that I administrate.

Fair warning.

Good day.

aw man;/

yes, I agree w/ lord_aiden in a way that it really pisses me off too how exploiters ruined GW for the rest of us, but in the end, it's for the better.

once I found GW, I never went around to look for another server. recently, in the past few days I've been wandering around connecting to random servers, but.. I think that I had such a *good* experience w/ GW, that I've grown picky of what I would look for in a good server.

dammit, I can *see* the guildwars server in the log-in screen whenever I log on to see if it's up, but the 'LOCKED' tag next to it is just a tease. gah, ohwell. it'll give me time to catch up on that... sleep... thing. :P

This is indeed grave news. I did not play much (I got caught behind and every was 30 - 50 and I was 5) so I didn't play much but when I did it was a great experience. I haven't played recently to see what was going on but if there is alot of exploiting it needs to be stopped. I completely support you in your decision image, it is the right thing to do. P.S. to all you exploiters: Sie dumme Mutterbumser nahmen die beste Sache, die wir weg von uns hatten und ich verfluche Ihr fucking Grab. Sie sind lame Mutterbumser, Brand in der H

really thats nice but i see the setting yourself to level 65 on other non legit servers as just as bad. People wanna get to the top easily without workin for it. It's sad.

He maybe does do that on other servers but I know aiden well and he plays fair when he knows he should. Non legit servers are MADE so you can hack, and sometimes it is fun. It sucks though when you join a legit server and then try and cheat your way to the top.

lord_aiden · #13 02-27-2003, 09:13 AM

I didn't mean to imply that Image's decision was wrong...I agree with it and support him fully. I am just angered at the exploiters who ruined it for us all.

I wish there was something I could to to help.

Starting coding and help us fix bugs !

We love bugfixes!

Edge Suikendi · #15 02-27-2003, 09:31 AM

t. Like i said before its the stupid jerkoffs who ruin what we had going. I know TWO people who actually got to 50 legitimately, the rest I have no idea how the hell they did it. As for the rest, f*ck you. You need to quit being a bitch and play on the servers where everyone else is 50 too. And whoever said the #summon and exp up to 65 being cheating is absolutely right. I could see there being ONE test server to test out new spells, weapons, etc., but when all but one (Guild wars) is like that, theres a problem. As to image, do what you need to man, people wont stop being little punkasses until can't cheat. I wish we could play with the exp bonus, mana regen bonus, and SOME sort of money bonus (because all 3 of those are pains in the asses to get), but I fear that because people are just being (what havent I called them yet) little dipsh*ts, the server will lose the cool tweaks it had before to make the normal legitimate players not spend freakin 13 hours a day just to get their little guy to a big level.

<Bow> That is the end of my performance.

<Boooo... get off the stage>
