Relax, it's madness. What happened to the days when fifteen invokers would sit at Rheydin CC with firestorms and mana shields up pounding the **** out of anything that walked by? Or the times when groups of FG Zerks would go around beating everything into snot? Anything goes, just have fun and don't take it too seriously. None of it matters. ;)

You can thank Auzzie for crashing us. Clearly he did not read the news I sent before going to bed last night about NOT USING CUSTOM AFFECTS. Since people are not paying attention, and keep asking the same questions even though I have

1. Posted something on the MOTD in bright red letters that you should see every time you log on.

2. Sent out several notes in game and on the forum.

I have heard/read some of these things several times from several different people, I will attempt to answer these questions here:

"What happened to the MUD?"

Our sever moved/upgraded. They are using a different operating system, which has caused certain issues in compiling the code - which has since been fixed - and also has brought to light certain code errors that never caused any problems to arise until now.

"I can't log on to my character, has there been a pwipe?"

No. All of the playerfiles have been backed up and are safe. During "Madness", your pfiles are always kept in a different location, so as not to cause any issues once it is done.

"Will there be a pwipe?"

No. We are working hard to make sure that there is no need for a pwipe.

"I finally got time to play, and you're running this madness crap? What the hell?"

It was either that or no MUD at all. I figured this would be fun, and allow people the opportunity to explore. However, it is evident that some people are irrational. My final response to this and any negative exclamations along the same lines (even if you claim it is in jest or as sarcasm): You are getting above and beyond the service that you are paying for. As far as I am concerned, Raargant is the only person who can make such a statement without appearing like an ungrateful sod. If playing through this is so much agony, I will be happy to ban you until everything is fixed and you can return to playing your character.

"Wait. Where are my characters again? And what is this about affects"

For the love of Jim. Read your news! Never EVER skip anything that is sent to you by an IMP. As to custom affects, if you are typing affects 1 San Sanctuary, you are doing what you should not be doing. Your pfile will be deleted, and you may possibly earn a ban until everything is more stable.

"How long will this madness last?"

Not long. Read your news/changes/notes/forum and you will know.

Good night today on madness. :D

For the people that weren't pleased, got angry, and I quote, "thought that you were better than this, Dey" (directed at me), well, it was MADNESS! ;)

Wasn't connected, but if I were, you'd be certain that during madness the first thing I'd be doing was creating one really big group. It's Madness, if people aren't forming groups I'm shocked, they always did in the past.

Seriously, nothing even matters in madness. Everyone jumps everyone, everyone fights together, EQ doesn't really matter because there's always some chump to take it off when there's three of you bodyslamming in practice gear. Come on, seriously now. :D

Thanks for taking the time to set up the deathmatch arena for us M. :)

WTF?! i sin in for teh first time in days n i get ef'n full looted! This BS... n they didnt even rp after or b4. "roflcopter1 pwnd u nub." is all I got. 'ef this! Im gonna back 2 play wow

Seriously... how stupid are people? Read your freaking notes. "I never get an app accepted!" Did you read your notes to find out the current plots lines to involve yourself in them? "Those herald notes are boring and pointless." You don't say... I mean, I hate getting involved in the games I play, too.

"What the hell?!" Yeah! What the hell?! "No, man, I got banned... I was told I was abusing an already known bug!" ****... did you read your notes that explicitly told you not to do something? "Nah, I hate reading those things. This game is PK before RP anyways, why would they send out a note that was OOC anyways?" Yeah, WTF, mate?!

"When did this change happen to the game?!" It was posted on the forums and the website a month ago. "Why do I have to read that? The game is in the MUD, not on the webpage or on the forums!" Yeah! Like, totally screw the instruction's manual that came with your video game! If you can't figure it out in thirty seconds of play, it must be a pile of crap and not worth your time!

Not really related to the current situation. Well, not totally related. Just some basic things I've felt for awhile. Read EVERY damn note, if you don't, you're limiting your play time... sure, you may lose 3 minutes of ranking or killing time to read Palwen's latest note... but it's good stuff. I promise. And in the end, you might have something to say... or, god forbid, add to the game to propel the story further?

Notes: Good

Not Reading Notes: It's like not knowing what your rights are. It'll screw you when you least expect it.

Reading Notes: It's like ... reading notes. You learn stuff. And the more you know... the more of... a half of a ... you have more than half... uh... G.I. JOE!
