ForeverHacking Server

[Trumpcard]

First off, everyone calm down. No point in a flame war starting over something this minor.

My big issue is, if people are complaining so much, what is stopping them from creating their own, nonlegit servers?

It's not rocket science, and doesnt require tons of money to start? These people that complain about it need to get over it, it's a free project, run by indivuduals, not a group, so they can do it whatever way they please. If they want to use it as a exploration tool, then they should maintian their own servers.

Also, if you ask me, it weeds out exactly the type of people I dont think we need in the project, the hordes that come in and say 'gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, with no much obliged' , and fail to try to contribute anything back to the eqemu community. Its just bandwidth we dont have to pay for for people that are here for the 'quick fix' eqemu can offer, and have no desire to help forward the project.

If you wont take the time to set up your own server to explore with, I doubt you're going to take the time to post bug fixes, make pertinent suggestions towards the improvement of the product in general, etc. Maybe this is a sweeping generalization on my part, but it seems pretty true from the host of people i've had in the past log onto my server and beg for GM status amoung other things.

So the bottom line is, if you want it so bad, make it, and stop complaining about the way others do it. (And thats not pointed directly at you Rag, but to anyone that feels the need for a NON-Legit server). Non of the server admins are getting checks from anyone in here, so theres no customer satisfaction needed.

My server is nonLegit, though its a dev server, and is prones to ups and downs when i put code in. I would run it legit if I had the time to put into content development, but I dont.

I would post one of my nearly world famous analogies (I've had a couple published in the past! LOL) but it's too early in the morning.
