Not to mention how he rushes to the defense of the git who cried so bloody hard she quit doing half of her tasks and then got fired when the money dried up enough, as though that were something that absolutely could not happen.

It's like watching an orange cat with a high level of confidence.

You got a bit strident with the "high level of confidence" and then when some folks bust out examples and you even note a guy that did shit on LOTR and that's just the guy who got caught that you knew about. Giving players jet packs and goodies sounds like connections and give and take.

Maybe just say you don't know anything about the helpers drama if you don't know anything it instead of floating some 'oh it couldn't have happened' bullshit after you failed to even read the post properly dickhead. Looking back over this thread its been fuck all for decent answers or any kind of decent insight from you and a decided avoidance of follow up questions. I should have followed my gut instinct and not wasted the time reading and posting on a thread that's a thinly disguised cry for help. Good luck with whatever existential crisis has got you feeling so shaken that you'd to come to this wretched hive of scum and villainy for some attention and appreciation.

Starting to think maybe Sasha had a point.


You almost had me, until the “hive of scum and villainy” part. I needed that laugh.

Honestly surprised that hasn’t already happened.

Why was +Sparker such a cunt?


Sparker came from the “old guard” of GMs who were bound by 2 rules. 1) Hate the players, and 2) Don’t help with anything. Even when we loosened up policies to help with things like stuck quests, Epic Destiny restorations, etc. Sparker was still set in their ways. I guess rule number 1 always applied regardless of how our policies evolved over the years.

I know, how awful and ignorant of me. With that mentality, I could have been a GM for DDO.

No accountability? Seems perfect for the way you jump to things.

He's conditioned to be able to interact with humans until he gets the urge to go for the "close ticket" button the second somebody calls him on his shit.

“Cry more.”

This experience truly has been fun and cathartic. If I had to pick just one thing to take away from it all, it’s that I was confused for Lynnabel. Although, as I learned over the years working on this game, “confused” is a light way of describing the average DDO player.

The Vault doesn't have to understand a thing to hate a thing.

That pretty much sums it up.


I don't know what to tell you. I just work here.... and by "work" I mean waste time for no reason.

Lemme back to AMA:

1. Did you or any other GM ever screwed a /generator or else so it was broken till game world restart or even permanently? Like spawning a rat in house Kundarak on Argo that was cloning itself just after world restart - so the world had to be restarted again..

2. is DDO really makes 7 figures monthly? I remember reading some complex EG7 yearly report saying this, half from 50k active subscriptions and half from store purchases. Is it just smoke and mirrors in report or for real?

3. Is a separate admin DDO client still a thing? That weights twice the regular, with all the wireframe mode? I remember having a flagged admin account on a regular client allowed you to create straight level 4, 7, 10 and AFAIK 15 toon (way before Iconics introduced) so maybe all the admin tools are in a regular client now?

4. What testdojo is for on live servers? It's empty.

The sad thing is we generally understand better than the people being paid to maintain the thing we've given up on.

Well I guess its true what they say, sometimes people tell us more by being unable to answer a question than if they had answered it.

In this case, now we all know why exploits have had free rein on DDO; low IQ gms.

Sure, there's been some unnecessary caution from Rothgar, but overall, he's been pretty forthcoming.

It would be nice if he were even more so.

It's rather amusing to watch a member of such a useless cadre attempt to inhabit the intellectual highground, isn't it?
