Hey everyone,

Hopefully anyone who needs me will see this message.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been extremely busy bee lately with big plans for the anniversary, other projects for EQ and other games, and outside reasons.

Forum challenge rewards- I'm hoping to knock the rest of those out by end of day tomorrow.  People waiting on specific illusions, the status on those haven't changed and may not change until March or April. 

Hall of Fame - yes I know I haven't added you yet!  I have tons of people to add (about 4k!) I'm working on a new way of doing them to make it easier to update it.  I hope to have have the list updated by the anniversary. I'm hoping to get a few people to help me with it to make it go quicker!

Forum moderation - Stop making bad posts and they'll stop moderating you! *evil grin* I'm still going to be adding new moderators to help with some of those bad no-nos!  Also, we're going to be modifying the rules a bit to make them easier to understand why you might get moderated.  I do review complaints though. The goal isn't to shut you up, its to get you posted your feedback constructively so we can make use of it and so that your fellow community members can add to it.  So lets keep things it constructive!

More stuff maybe later.

Hey Zat, I appreciate your service.  And I'm glad your working on some >nifty< stuff for the aniversary.  I'm seriously considering taking the day off to play.  Somewhere it was said there are events planned on EQ 10th aniversary day only?

However, it is good to know you are doing something.  High Five!

FYI,

I was just checking on my schedule.  I should have the remaining rewards for challenges completed by end of day on Friday, without fail.  If I do fail, everyone who is waiting will get a bonus AA point.    Uggg now I have to do it! *grin*.

Does the bonus aa come at the same time as the rewards that are still due? (Hopefully it won't take another 2 months to get the bonus aa on top of the title, should the title ever be finished!) Looking forward to both, <3 Zat!

Hey Zatozia, I have a question for you, did you ever asked pimp_zilla to one day do a drawing of you, like a complete animiated picture of you?  I would love to see that one day and you never know perhaps you just might love it if pimp_zilla ever did something like that.

Not sure why we should even worry about leaving a msg.

Seriously the ONLY person that can make certain changes to these forums doesn't answer PM's after a month? God I love SoE, I want this schedule at work. Say something will get done SOON, then have the freedom to say "oh Soon could mean tomorrow or next millenium, just depends on how I feel today."

Hey Z can you help me?  I wanted to get the LoN loot cards for the aniversary, but everytime I try to log into LoN I crash (sigh).  Worse, I am a little old lady, and have yet to be able to figure out how to get any kind of tech help because I find the in game help to be confusing.  Any advise you can give that does not involve me downloading LoN as a separate game would be very helpful.

Support forum for crashing issues is here: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/f...m?forum_id=1364 but I'm seeing the TSR's say that LoN making people crash is usually a video display setting issue.

The reason LON crashes EQ is always video, wether it is the resolution, the driver date or the card is too weak, but it is always video...

And per the most recent post it looks like there may be a fix on the SOE side that is coming . . .

The dev team changed something on the video resolution in LON, we are looking into fixing it the next update.

People waiting on specific illusions

Yeah, like Enchanters.  The game's premiere illusion class who hasn't seen a new illusion since Illusion:Sexually Ambiguous Menace...er, I mean Drakkin. 

Throw a bone, please, once in a while, just so we don't feel like that aspect of our class has been forgotten.  Suggestions for new illusions for Enchanters.  How about finishing up the pets? The illusions we used to get made me think that someone was in the middle of giving Enchanters illusions for all the pets.  We've gotten the four Magician pets, the Shadow Wolf (Shaman), the Imp (Wizard familiar) and the Scaled Wolf (Iksar Beastlord).  So, how about a Bear Illusion (Ogre Beastlord), Basilisk (Troll Beastlord), White Wolf (Barbarian Beastlord), Bear Cub (Druid pet, and that illusion should add 25 to Charisma.  Those things are just too cute.) Shadowed Man (our own).  Illusions for the Raging Servant type pets would be nice, too.

How do you volunteer for that?  Resentment of not getting new illusions aside, may I request a specific addition/point out a glaring omission in the forum rules?  

  • Disparages any religion, race, nation, gender, or sexual orientation.

How about adding "disability" to this list?  As it is, I could make jokes about "crips in wheelchairs" and not be in violation of the rules.  As one who has been a couselor for the developmentally disabled, I consider calling people "retards" to be over-the-top cruelty to retarded people.  Their limitations are not chosen and they further lack the wherewithal to defend themselves.  Besides, the ones I know happen to be wonderful people.  Anyone who would call people "retards" thinking that it's an insult should BE so "retarded."

  • Disparages any religion, race, nation, gender, or sexual orientation.

Another omission: age.  "Go take your Geritol, you old fossil, and leave this game to people who are actually young enough to keep up with it."  (Guess who didn't just violate a rules of this forum?  I used to be a moderator for AOL forums -- although they referred to us as "Hosts" -- so I'm kind of up on these things. And I happen to be very proud of the fact that even though I was a volunteer, I wrote a warning message that they actually adopted and included in their rules.)

  • Disparages any religion, race, nation, gender, or sexual orientation.

"Nation" is okay, but "ethnicity" might be better.  I could easily disparage people, like "you Latinos" without breaking the rules as written.  Latino is not a race, nor is it a nation.  It is, however, an ethnicity.  And "nation" is covered by "ethnicity." 

I hope these observations have met with receptive ears and I apologize if I wasn't as pithy as I should have been.

Hello,

I know things have probably been hectic at SoE with the 10th Anniversary, but just want to leave a polite, public reminder that at least I am still waiting on rewards from the Frostfell contest. Judging from responses here, it sounds like others are still waiting as well.

Thank you very much,

Adol Krystin (the Rathe)

How do I post a new topic? I've been searching for a button and can't seem to find one. I have a couple of suggestions I'd really like the EQ Game Developers to consider to bring back population to the game and I know my suggestions would be a good fix.

October wins; I figured with nothing from the December contest in June I was in the lead.  Yep, very busy.

 

The contests are cute, and I appreciate them, but don't promise the rewards.  Just post the winners names or something.  If you can't deliver what you promise it's better not to promise it at all.

 

You would get less complaints and have a workload you might be able to manage if you discontinue this kind of thing in the future if you would be permitted to do that.  I would spend my time trying to find a way not to have this timely part of your work that you obviously can't deliver removed than take time posting to us that you are going to do it maybe by Friday, Monday, next year etc.  then not do it at all.

Is there someone I can write to explain how annoying this is and can help you out?  I really do want to make it happier for everyone.  If customers gave feedback that we would rather not have rewards it might help.  Staff that is obviously stretched way too thin is not the way to go.  I would rather help, than keep things the way they are.
