Ngreth weekend update? Your Views?

[Brodder FoamyMugs]

Read many reviews of the weekend (and I still can't believe they omitted the EQ Cleric folks) and was hoping to see the mighty ogre who splits ore for fun's view of things this weekend (Could care less about EQ 2, but I know it's debut was part of your weekend so plug away if ye wish)...was wondering on your thoughts and where things are going from here...

yeah, jsut been busy (worked sunday, monday got away with me with some bug fixes to the way the Database volunteers update info, and seeing Harry Potter, and another Niami computer dying (at least this was a secondary machine)) And today I will not be able to type after 11:30 PST (due to some therapy for my Tendonitis I cannot type after the therapy for the rest of the day, it is too painful). Then I work a full long day Tomorrow (wednesday)

I will do my best to get it up as fast as I can As soon as I read through these boards I will start typing

You duplicated a large paragraph on your main page post - nice write up - thanks.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in one of my editing scripts, so I cannot edit it, and I have to go to work. So unfortunately it stays for now :/ Will work on it tomorrow.

Nice write up, I noticed you mentioned the mage epic specifically could you point it out? in this picture? We've been guessing alot to which one is ours and it would be nice to know.

I am curious if anyone at the meeting brought up Sony's recent poll about facilitating a secure way for folks to transfer items/pp/characters to others for real life cash.

I know that for me everything else becomes a moot point if Sony implements or condones such sales.

I heard 2 thoughts on that. That either it was considered and rejected, or that they just wanted to see the comunities thoughts, and is still rejected anyway despite any results of the poll either way.

Basics is no, they will not do it.

On one of the other report discussions I saw (read too many so Ican't remember which), I heard the poll itself was inspired because something like 30% (or was it 70%? no I think 30...) of all petitions are related to scams and RL money transfers.

So the reason for the poll was to see if the player base would welcome a tool to do those and cut donw on the petitions.

It was also buried in the discussion, but apparantly the results of the poll was roughly 50/50 either way, but the discussion it spawned showed the player base that was against it was vehemently against it to the point of quitting. Thus all such discussions were removed from consideration.

In hindsight, had they explained the reason for the poll ahead of time (something like: "Currently 30% of all petitions in our system come from people reporting scams dealing with Real life money for ingame items. Would you support SoE adding a way to brokerage these deals in order to cut down on these petitions?") , the results would probably have been the same but the discussions probably would not have been as intense.

All IMO.

The quote was 70% of CS time is spent on scams.
