As a Brellian....
Losing our server and moving to a new server wasnt as bad as much of us thought it would be. I myself would welcome all SH's wayfarers to the Cazic(Brell) server. Wish you all on SH a smooth transition, wether it be a sever x-fer or not.

Don't worry. Everyone on Cazic isn't uptight. When Brell merged with us, both we and Brell expected the other group to be unruly, ill-mannered and all around pains in the ***. From what I've seen, less than 1% of the Brellians were what I would even call annoying. Come to think of it, that's probably a better percentage than the original CT population. Either way, Cazic-Thule (Brell Serilis) server would gladly welcome refugees from Stormhammer or anywhere else. (Bring a few of your GMs with you. The more the merrier!)

i'd hate to spoil your mean fun against GM's... but really.
1.they get paid to play EQ n help you. there arnt many of them, and there are MANY of us.
2.every petition i have put up had been answered within 3 days.
3. most GM's i meet are really nice, and support any ideas i have for EQ (such as changing the battle music)
4.soem GM's are really not nice. like some PC's in EQ.
5.wonder why they are not nice, cuz YOU all are making horrible comments about them, especially in the general chat, where they can SEE what you type :-P
6.not to name any GM's, but i have had lots of really nice GM's who i chat to sometimes and who really do care about you all who play EQ.
7.for just one moment, imagen being a GM on the ratio of 5:100 to PC players. probably less. Now imagen them all with a problem. soem have the same problam, so u have a hotkey to assist them quickly. Most of them are making comments about you being slow, or a lazy something or a bot ect... when you are acctually either looking up info, or helping someone. PE PATIENT!!! GM's will help you if you are nice, and are willing to wait a mo! however super u may think they are, THEY ARE JUST HUMANS (or ikkys or darkelves...) and i doubt any i ahve met were bots .

oh well

I don't care one way or another. I wonder if any of the stormhammer only zones will go to live now? I am surprised the server lasted this long, I know I would never pay $40 a month for this game. I get ticked when I see my CC bill just for paying $15 (I remember when it was 9.99 and I remember when it was 12.99). I seriously doubt it costs SOE that much more to run the game, especially when you look at how customer service has gone down. There is less paid GM's in the game and anytime you need help you can expect to wait a day.

I see we got the classic "Well you pay $X for cable internet!" posts going all ready.Yes alot of people pay that much for cable internet. However I think most people use there cable internet for more then to simply play eq1. With my cable internet I can check work, shop on-line, sell on-line, look up information on other games, etc etc. So It doesn't matter what a person pays for internet it has nothing to do with why a person should or shouldn't pay $40 for 1 single game.

There are no Stormhammer only zones. They had one called Marauders Mire back when it started but it was quickly shut down.

I sure hope they just put them all on one server by themselves.
I for one do not want the primadonna attitudes on my server.
Much less all the unearned high level gear and items they have.

Don't worry Palenor, we wouldn't want to come to Cazic Thule if you are representative of the population.
And unearned high level gear? You think we all run around in Anguish Gear or something? Maybe you think the GMs just hand out gear left and right? Many of us on the serve JUST FINISHED our PoTime flags and we are nowhere near as geared as you think we are.

Now, some people have earned gear that was awarded to them or named after them. And they earned it. Don't get all pissy because you never took the time to find out what Legends was really all about. My best memory of SH is of its GM events. When the Sleepers Tomb revamp happened they had an event in Eastern Wastes and 180+ people showed up. We had to fight wave after wave of giants and dragons. It was an amazing sight to see this many people in Eastern Wastes, and it lasted 5 hours. When it was all said and done they handed out 6 or 8 items that they named after some of the players. Most people got nothing except a few screenshots and a great time.
So, you can stick your attitude where the sun don't shine :)

First off.....I for one can say that Palenor is not a representstive of CT. Come to think of it im not even sure if I've ever seen him...under this name at least. I look at it this way....you payed the extra money to be in the postion to get those extra events. If you guys do have move to a new server...please dont let his opinions make your choice for you. There are several guilds that are right where you guys are in terms of progression...that I'm very sure would love to have you guys with them.

Shut up already Whiners!

What is that smell? It smells like a Finance VP has made the decision to run this game by the Bottom-Line and not make any effort to hide it.

This server and the rich people on it were suppose to be the A-Listers, The Haves instead of us Have-Nots.

The lucky people on this box got the best service (some would argue they got the only service). This box was the very definition of the 2-Tier System, ever so popular here in the USA.

These peeps got regular Events, MOBs on demand, GM help (what is that?), lost items recovered, help on corpse runs, answers to petitions (what does that feel like?) and of course first dibs on all new content.

I am not on Legends and never was (I was on Veeshan and now on Luclin)...so why am I concerned?

If the socially elite are being treated this way....what is coming for us pee-ons?

Yikes!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

"This server and the rich people on it were suppose to be the A-Listers, The Haves instead of us Have-Nots. ...."

lol...Rich people? You think rich people play EQ? If I were rich I would be out driving around in my Ferrari on the Las Vegas strip. Most of Stormhammer people are normal peeps who pay a little extra for the events. That is the reason I joined back in the day. have and Have-nots? You could be a 'Have' for just $25 extra per month.
]

These peeps got regular Events.... True

MOBs on demand....False. It has never happened. No GM has ever summoned a mob at the request of a player on SH.

help on corpse runs...Not true.

and of course first dibs on all new content...False. We got screwed out of that a long time ago.

In fact, we got screwed out of a lot of things that were promised us. The Legends website has never worked properly, they never implimented all the features that were originally promised like tracking your duels, and we get no exclusive content. Why did I stay? I stayed because of the friends I made on SH. Simple as that.

The Stormhammer server in my opinion is/was the Test server II.

Typicaly, things that were on test went to Stormhammer, first, then on to the "poor man" servers (Normal servers).

What exactly is the "Legends" server?

The server name is actually "Stormhammer", the service is called Legends. The idea was supposed to be that, for a substantially higher monthly fee ($39.95/month last I knew), you would play on a server that had a significant GM presence. GMs would run dynamic events on a regular basis. As a side bonus, as mentioned, new zones and other features frequently went live on Stormhammer before being released to the regular servers.

They also had a tier ranking system for their guilds. Letting you know how strong your raiding guild was vs other guilds. We used a similar tree on Inny but it was much harder for us because you had to go and find the mob up. On Legends the GMs would just spawn any monster they needed. =0

Wrong. The tier system was put in place to reserve a given mob. If the mob was up or spawned during Wed - Sat, you got the chance to kill it. The GMs would never spawn mobs for guilds. If you didn't kill your mob by Saturday night your guild would be de-tiered and you would have to start all over again. If your guild killed a mob that was reserved for another guild your guild stood a chance at being de-tiered. If A guild killed a mob the day before it was to go on the tier system the GMs would not spawn it for you, and you were SOL.
