Re: What its like to be staff on Hybrid...
When I read Ryan's post I actually laughed out loud.
God forbid someone doesn't kiss your ass (points to the rest of the posts in this thread) and tell you how great your server is. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone, but let me point out a few things.
1. You seem convinced that this is about his lost Fallon skirt, yet you ignore 2/3 of his complaints: GM's that "go against their word, and enter events with jacked characters to kill ppl for fun".
2. You say item deletion isn't a "big deal", and yet you track this player down across two websites, edit his post to reflect your findings, post on the mainpage (in the hopes of having him flamed by your yes-men?), and generally don't address the issue.
3. If item count is the problem, why in God's name do you delete a rare item? Why can't you delete newbie daggers, newbie cloaks, or stacks of common items numbered under 10? Or why not try tweaking the item decay times? Yesterday I left a charecter AFK for 3 hours when I went shopping - there were 3 keys on the ground in front of me when I left - they were STILL THERE when I got back.
It's interesting that you choose to delete an item that EVERYONE had blessed, thereby losing them a bless deed with it. You say it's just pixels? Give everyone their 10 REAL DOLLARS back for their deleted bless deeds, then talk to me about it.
