Sigh, the "quiet" servers still aren't. It was so bad last night that even after several server hops people kept interfering in JM's Raven's Cove quest. JM is 44, he can handle it no problem. Finally got just so sick of it I logged. And that's just last night. Sunday night...
Sunday night was awful. I had my GM pirate in, and she's 32. I got to the part about defeating ghosts at the same time in front of the southern idol. Well she's 32, and some of them were spawning 40. Even with a 37 me, I still needed backup, so we ended up with a pretty good size crew in a desperate attempt to keep my 32 alive against these guys. When along comes some random girl blasting away while I was trying to finish. We ask politely, hey could you let me finish quick please, and that would have been the end of that, I would have finished, we would have left, she could have had at all she wanted. She didn't answer me. I said, hey, there are more guys close by, my quest says I have to have these, can ya just let me work here. No answer.
Now, after having been at it for well over an hour already and being unable to time it right, I was annoyed. So when she still didn't answer my little GM did yell at her, an told her we had been there first and to go away. No answer. Yeah, at this point most would pick up servers. I had changed servers already four or five times looking to find a place to work with no luck. By that point I was thinking why does it have to be ME that moves every time. My stubborn streak kicked in, an I wasn't going anywhere thank you.
Well, after almost a half hour of Connie yelling at her trying to get her to talk, a pirate tps to her, an all I could think was oh nice now we're gonna have a war. But here it was a little 21. He took one shot an down he went. I had no problem with him, so both my pirates, and several others in the crew did everything we could to keep him alive, or revived. He was a perfectly decent pirate, and rather nice actually. He wasn't to fond of her behavior either, and as it turns out, he was her GM!! Well, one of my crew finally gets the girl to talk, an she says she was working a quest too. I said then why didn't you just say so we could have worked together and been long done. No answer. My crewmate says, ok, so we take turns, let Connie finish then you can have it all to yourself. Except by then I so didn't trust her, so I said she could go first. So she went back at it. What weapon did she pull? The Spinecrest sword. She had been lying, and had already finished the quest. Very nice.
Well, even after she agreed to finish and let my pirate work this girl kept at it for quite a while, an by now I personally was staying to keep the little guy alive. She's got several of the crew and also her GM telling her she agreed to take turns when was she gonna let me have mine. An when she finally answers, starts yelling at us that we don't own the game we don't own the server she has just as much right to be there as we do. Nothing she said could have ticked me off more than that. By her own admission we had the right to be there, yet she was refusing to take turns and play nice. Her own statement was I had the right to be there, just like her. She was blasting me for asking her to let me work, then all the time just standing there doing everything in her power to drive me off the server. There is nothing I hate worse than hypocrites, and this girl was of the highest order. I had to wait nearly two hours for her to leave, finally. Yet her GM had the decency to not only repeatedly apologize for her behavior, which I told him every time he wasn't at fault for, but to stay and try his hardest to help keep Connie alive while she tried again.
This is what the server reduction has done. It's put all those belligerent hypocritical I have a right to be here an so do you but you don't get to use your right pirates in the same space as us normal decent players. It's put the mean vindictive people in the same space as those of us who just want to play. Far far worse it's put the rep stealing pushy people in the same space as fresh of the dock for the very first time brand new players. These rude people, rep stealers, and all together pushy pirates might just all together push potential new money right out of game. Yeah, I have a major problem with that.
