Well, I'm just going to pick at what I can remember of the post above without scrolling and spending 45 minutes on a response going back and forth. The reasoning for a lot of spells being disabled and not being fixed is due to the fact that we're working on a much bigger project, and to fix most spells we would need to completely break it down and find the issue, as it's not a database handled fix, therefore it would require a lot of patching for every spell when the project we're currently working on would be a much bigger improvement than spells such as Bladestorm. The pricing we have is mainly for hosting, as we're not using one dedicated box, we're using multiple for test servers. I know I didn't cover much in this reply, but if there's anything I did miss and you do want an answer to, I'll gladly reply. Also, just to cover. We're not letting the server die. We're working on a project that if anything would bring the server back to what it used to be. It's a very time consuming thing in which I'm not going to go into much detail about, but once it's complete people will understand where all the time has been spent.

The reason for the pricing is to compensate for things that we need to purchase in order to keep the server alive, such as the hosting, the domains, and even the work that needs to be done by an outside source, seeing as we're not always capable of doing everything. Therefore we need to have prices such as we do. The caps for things such a resilience and mastery would require months long of patching, and working around, and we're already in the process of things that are going to be much more worth our time (and more enjoyable for everyone else). As for the character transferring/selling, that's going to be implemented on Eternian in 2015. So, there is hope for that. The flying beasts thing has never really been a question, or even a thought by anyone, therefore it was never done. Unless I'm confused on this part, and I answered it completely wrong. Anyways, if I missed anything feel free to reply to this post, or even message me via the forums or Skype (Vynlendus) and I'll reply as soon as I possibly can. Also, to answer the question posted in the topic, no. I'm in no way ever going to "Let my server die". I'll always be working out whatever comes up, it's just I'm not always going to be able to jump right into action.

Sadly, when customizing an item you're agreeing that changes made to the original item you customized are not going to be applied to your customized item, however this may come with a nerf, or a buff. The only time items will be changed is if stats are multiplied/divided completely. But, as the players keep asking, I'll ask the staff as a whole if we feel that it would be worth it to make this change, however, players would need payment proof of their VIP / Customizations in order for this to take effect. I'll update this post with the staffs choice.

1). Hiring more GMs isn't quite an option right now. We have a very low population, so it would turn our population into only GMs, which isn't too good... 2). We're currently working on a lot of spell changes, but some are harder to change than others, and some just aren't able to be changed. So, this will take a lot longer than warlocks did. 3). We use Blades Edge for testing, but we'll surely find new places across the map to put world bosses, and for the community to hang out. 4). We're in the process of revamping a lot of dungeons, which will come with higher drop rates. :) 5). This is definitely something that we can do. Any suggestions can be sent to my Skype (Vynlendus) 6). Cross account transfers will not be re-implemented. But, we are activating the Character Shop in 2015. 7). Will of Sargeras can be added to be a new world boss, with a small chance at Frozen weapons. :) 8). AoE looting is not possible in 4.0.6 cores. This would require a complete re-write of the loot system, which would cause core instabilities. 9). Refer a Friend is already implemented on IceCold, but there are currently no rewards. I'll look into seeing if we can add rewards to it, such as store credit, or even a small non-VIP item claimable on any character. 10). Daily Quests are going to be created once we're done revamping the dungeons. We don't want to make a daily quest for a dungeon, and then just completely remake the dungeon. But, this will be implemented soon enough. If there are any other things players would like to suggest, please post it in this thread. I'll attempt to read all suggestions and reply to the thread as soon as I can.

It was removed due to extreme PvP scaling. I'll look into scaling the effect to be useful for PvE, but not game changing for PvP.

I'd try to move your Interface and WTF folders onto your desktop, and if that doesn't work just put them back in. Oh, also as usual delete your cache. No one likes that thing anyways... :p

It wouldn't cause problems, just a big ass patch. I might be able to find an old patch I used if the community is extremely interested, but it would require the WHOLE community. Otherwise some players would experience naked brawling.

The fact you're asking for drama in this thread, and then whine when there is drama that you're involved in blows my mind...

We can't, it's under General. So either Ryan or Jordan (who are gone for a week) need to close it. x_x @TheGodfather, my previous post was explaining why your reasoning is flawed, and why it won't work. Also, you have been muted on Eternian for trolling, multiple times. I did it personally. As for the "Account ban evasion" thing, we've already stated that it was a mistake on the part of Eternian Staff, we've said we were wrong. Not sure what else to do about that. Anyways, due to this getting out of hand, I'm done replying. End of the line no one was exactly "wrong" in the thread. Eternian Staff isn't the greatest currently, and we're working on it. Give us time, it's all I ask... But, it doesn't help when players from Reaper constantly come over to Eternian with no reason but to cause drama. The less you search for drama, the less there will be.

Well, to start off. I'm not sure how we attacked the thread. The thread was made with intent to cause drama, due to the PM I received from MrRager before the thread was made stating "Let the game begin". This thread came with the intent of stirring up a mess, no other reason. You want us to do things the way YOU feel it's right, and to be honest. It's completely incorrect, as you guys come on the realm with intent to cause some sort of issue, and when punished you're Mr Goody Two Shoes. It's not right, and you're only here to see the reaction you can get. We're not acting like it's the end of the world. We're doing the job we volunteered for. We came here to make sure the community wasn't always being harassed by a certain group of people, so they can come on the realm and play the game. Players don't show when they're bothered by trolling to the person causing the ruckus, cause they know it'll just make the outcome even worse. If you've been punished before, the punishments rack up. We're not going to keep a set amount of time that players are punished for, cause then the mindset comes in "Well, I mean I can just do this and go to bed, by the time I get back the punishment will be over already". The people who are coming from Reaper for the pure reason to troll are going to be muted, if it happens again, we'll increase the punishment, and if they choose that they can break the rule they want, and they don't want to abide by the rules that everyone is given. They will be punished. It's that simple, if you can't follow the rules, don't come to the realm.

Well, first off we can't delete your characters, as it messes up quite a bit, and can cause issues. Other than that, I'm confused. First you want us to be professional. We apologize to you, remove the ban from your IP, and we try to resolve the issue. Once we start being professional, we're acting too seriously about it, and it's just a private server... What do you actually want? I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm trying to hear you out and understand this so it doesn't happen again, but it's really back and forth...

With all the previous things you've stirred up on Eternian, and then what you pulled with Chip... You've caused enough to be punished far worse than this at this point, and you're still being unbanned, but even then you're complaining. The ban was originally an IP ban. We lowered it to an account ban, but Hopper wasn't aware of this, and thought it was an IP, not an account ban. The ban was made out of confusion, and we've already apologized for the inconvenience it has caused, but that doesn't seem to be enough to you.

Bans that are unlawfully made are reversed as soon as someone sees the mistake, and we do apologize for them. But some bans that are made out of confusion. The ban discussed in this thread (I don't quite know many people by forums->in-game users) was made out of confusion due to the ban that I had re-applied. If people are feeling they have been issued a ban that is unreasonable, please make an appeal on the forums, and I'll get to it when I get the time. If you don't wish to wait, then just simply add my Skype: Vynlendus. Again, I apologize for the issues caused, and I'm just going to request if you have an issue with certain staff members, or with the staff overall, just tell me. I'll look into resolving it, so that we can have a better community on Eternian.

There was a mistake on the part of my staff, it happens. If you're gonna go ahead and say mistakes don't happen, then just don't reply. The consequence was reversed, and the player can come back on his main account when the ban is lifted in probably 12 hours from now. It's that simple. If you guys wanna sit here and stir up drama and then complain about the drama, I don't know what to say. We realized the punishment was in the wrong, and we reversed it. Please, keep in mind. Eternian is still relatively new, and we're going to have some speed bumps along the way. I want you all that have been here since the start to take a second and reflect back to the start of Reaper, and then think. Was there issues with the staff, was there issues with players? More than likely. We're going to have some kinks, Eternian is damn near to the point of reforming staff due to previous complaints and issues, give us some time, and we'll work it out.

I know I don't quite matter in this section but as for "nerfing their full heal" That heal would be "Atonement" and it currently has no way of being scaled, so it's going to be a bit difficult to balance it :p

My question is, how are you even playing on the server if your account was banned permanently? Looks like lag, as well.

As I posted in the previous reports. All parts of it. Thanks.

@Rainpowers, please provide full screenshots of the chat logs while reporting a player, you could be saying things back in order to upset a player, also known as antagonizing another. @Botd, please don't start drama on a report about you. I'll look more into the situation, and reply back soon. Do you happen to have an approximate time that the situation occured?

Well, from what I know, Magnadestrie has been helping a lot with testing out things that we're working on, and a lot of the times if you see him with 1,000,000 rage, extra health, an item that seems insane, it just means that he's helping us test something at the time, and it will be removed from him. This isn't quite something to worry about, as it will be removed. I'm just gonna close this thread now.

Not quite how it works. It's not exactly his IP that's banned, it's an IP that's been accessing the account for quite some time now. Someone else who logged into the account was IP banned, and it will list of the accounts that have been accessed by that IP, and it seems that it wasn't the same person you're all expecting, but another person with access to the account. I know it seems a bit confusing, but let me try to simplify this with an example. John, Jeremy and Jack share an account, Jeremy gets IP banned, and it will show all the accounts that Jeremy's IP has logged into, and John's account is on that list. Now when John or Jack logs in, he wasn't banned on his IP, or account, so he's allowed to play.

When a players IP is banned (only IP) It will show all accounts in which the IP has logged into CLAIMING it was banned, but it wasn't actually banned, just the IP. In other cases it will ban not only the IP, but the account. So, it seems that only the IP has been banned, and not the account.

As for the database thing, it's a bluff. The repack that players used in order to have their servers didn't have any characters in the database, nor accounts. As for compensation (in which I assume is the reason you're asking about items). We had a time frame when the server started, which was about early June of 2013, and it ended on the first of March this year, and sadly we can't quite do much about it from there :/ On a side note, I'd like to say welcome back man. I can see that you recognize the name, and yes, I am the same person. If you're looking to be with the majority of people from Eternion-WoW, you'd be looking for Ice-Eternian. It's the same exact haste system as before, you'll need 12800 haste to cap completely, and you'll be able to cap as a non-VIP as well (a bit harder, but it'll work out eventually). Some of the same places are around (LB, FJ, ToU) and then some new ones. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on the forums, or even add my Skype (It's Vynlendus). Enjoy your stay. :D

Maybe in the future, yes. But for now, we're going to keep it disabled.
