YAY! Great job guys.

Let the witch hunts begin!

[Zakirll]

Best news I've heard in a while! While I dislike rubber banding, I dislike cheaters even more! It's this kind of action that is going to keep me playing and make me want to support the emu dev team!

"Behavior from the community, and sadly, even staff,will no longer be tolerated when it is designed to undermine the project or community."

This.
For forward progression. No more hacking, exploiting, cheating, duping, or bad staff. :P

We don't want staff like SOE's that know nothing about the game. If ashur was banned for using actual in game skills then... we have someone on staff that is like SOE. :P

Max, I'm glad to see this post here. At the beginning of the #devchat discussion on these issues, I was shocking to learn that what you were saying was basically, "Sorry for the rubberbanding, it's the lesser of two evils even if all you people don't agree". Was it the chat that changed things and the overwhelming negative response you got to all the rubberbanding or something else?

/kudos
SWGEmu dev team is working to release a game they all (I hope) love. The rest of us are here to test and play a game we all (I hope) love. Anything else just hinders and delays this project. I support this decision fully and thank the dev team for making this mature decision.

and when some guy said "run *****" he replied by saying "hahahaha i killed mellichae for you"

as for griefing, as long as you dont have prove, then shut up, that simple.

Sounds like most of the exploiting losers on the live servers. Glad to see the emu is taking steps to push these pointless human beings out of the game. The hackers and exploiters ruined the game the first time around under SOE. All they were worried about is how much money they could make, not the enjoyment of the players that would be in it long term.

Good for you and keep up the good work!

[Karma85]

I love you guys, so very cool !!

[Murreki]

Thank you very much Good work guys.

[ZacMuleer]

Thanks so much Max, et al! /salute

I agree with the steps taken. We should ALL be in testing mode right now. The staff is getting their feet wet in running the show, and doing a good job of it. And we as the gaming community should be testing and reporting any bugs we find to assist them! There is no way the staff could play the game and experience everything themselves WHILE working on running it! And that is what we are for. Any activities that get in the way of that should be dealt with in a fair yet decisive manner so as not to bog down the whole process for everyone. Thanks again SWGEmu!!

[Murreki]

ack, prolonged double post x_x

[FEDS-91]

Bravo guys. Thanks.

[inyri]

You should take advantage of /addignore since the devs were nice enough to add it into the game for you.

[Wolvendrake]

Cheers - of course rubber banding is a pain in the butt - but if it helps get rid of people that are exploiting... then by all means. i want to play with people who are part of the community... not those who are willing to break the rules. don't they remember what this server is about? testing - and verifying? using exploits and hacking are definitely counter effective to that goal. Keep up the work guys!

I agree with this, however I feel griefing is kind of a part of swg pre-cu. I can understand HARASSMENT, but griefing is in just about every mmo I've ever played, EVER.


Edit* that being said, since this is a test server with the idea of testing and bug reporting in mind, griefing slows down the process of allowing others to test; so I'm kinda on the fence about it.
