I'm sure some of you were wondering what took so long to update. No, we aren't dead :) We have all been busy figuring out quests, doing trials, getting exp, and killin' new mobs. I'm sure you've seen this on a billion other sites by now, but Aerin'Dar, Grummus, Carpin Deatharn, Cloakwork Dragon, Behemoth, Terris Thule, Tallon Zek, and Vallon Zek have all fallen to Township in the last week or so, and we are currently working on more mobs. The 3 major SoL Boss mobs have also been killed.
Loot was alright off of Vallon, nothing special :( Tallon had the good stuffs though.
The fists look pretty badass, grats to Cheena:

Too tired of the bullshit to add more bullshit and make this sarcastically interesting, so you will just be getting the information…
Before I get to what happened last Sunday, let me give you some past scenarios so you can see the standpoint Township Rebellion is coming from.
A dispute over Vex Thal
[Tue Aug 13 14:29:19 2002] You tell jhek:6, 'like i said we are nowhere near you and will not be'
[Tue Aug 13 14:29:45 2002] You tell jhek:6, 'aye and we will not be near you at all'
[Tue Aug 13 14:31:57 2002] Cassiana tells jhek:6, 'Last night, Vedan told us we were first in force and we had the zone, the policy is already set for this zone. One guild at a time'
[Tue Aug 13 14:52:12 2002] I need to ask that all TR members leave the zone - Jhek the Purple Meanie.
Enforces policy one guild only can be occupying Vex Thal (note: This was how every other GM enforced Vex Thal policy… until our next scenario)
----------------------------------
A dispute over Vex Thal between Township Rebellion and…. 9 Leviathan
[Sun Sep 22 10:09:26 2002] Players on EverQuest:
[Sun Sep 22 10:09:26 2002] ---------------------------

[Sun Sep 22 10:09:26 2002] [60 Virtuoso] Crayzy (Half Elf)
[Sun Sep 22 10:09:26 2002] There are 9 players in Vex Thal.
[Sun Sep 22 10:09:28 2002] Jaydrox says, 'Its too early....'
[Sun Sep 22 10:15:58 2002] You told Jaydrox, 'got first blob dead since we arrived if u want to check corpse'
[Sun Sep 22 10:54:35 2002] Jaydrox shouts, 'Just to make this official. Going to shout this for all to hear. Considering both guilds are at diffrent spots of the zone. I have deemed it that both guilds can share the encounters of this zone today. '
[Sun Sep 22 10:56:33 2002] Jaydrox tells you, 'The zone is designed to hold 2 raids…'
I suppose this reverses the previous policy regarding Vex Thal; now two guilds can occupy it (note: Why was Vex Thal put on 24/7 Calendar Rotation if the zone can be shared by two guilds?)
-----------------------------
Next dispute was over Emperor, wish I had more logs for you but this is it sadly
Jhek tells you, 'You do know that Levi was here first I am going to award them with the Emp, as they have been here in numbers all day'
I suppose this sets policy that any guild in zone first, with enough “numbers” gets the mob… even if Leviathan is downstairs killing Cursed while we are Emperor portal… Leviathan is still owed Emperor!
----------------------------
Next scenario was just last Sunday over Emperor

[Sun Oct 06 13:21:17 2002] Jaydrox opens his mouth wide and yawns.
Jaydrox enters the zone, 54 Rebels 39 Leviathan, we are in Emperor room itself preparing to engage. Recall Jhek stating “here first” and “in numbers” because past policy means nothing to GM Jaydrox.
1.1 Play Nice Policies - Activity within EverQuest
1. You may not steal kills.
Kill Stealing is defined as the killing of an NPC for any reason that is already fighting or pursuing another player or group that is prepared to engage that same NPC without that group's specific permission.
Jaydrox initiates a chat channel, for what purpose god only knows.
Key:
You = Ciner, me, not to be confused with Cinder
Jaydrox = Game Master
Cassiana = Evil Leviathan He-Bitch
[Sun Oct 06 13:24:43 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'dude we have superior #'s, we were here first, and we are in emp room'
[Sun Oct 06 13:25:00 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'If you are in Emp room, go ahead and engage.'
Leviathan telling us to engage Emperor
[Sun Oct 06 13:25:12 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'This is what I would like to see happen'
[Sun Oct 06 13:25:31 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'well emp takes prep, give us a few and we will kill him'
[Sun Oct 06 13:25:35 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Lets work some of these spawns out ahead of time'
[Sun Oct 06 13:25:59 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'we are here first man, give us 30 mins (not unreasonable) and he will be dead'
[Sun Oct 06 13:26:14 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Granted this is my proposal... But how about TR- Emp / HP Lev- Seru / Cursed cycle'
[Sun Oct 06 13:27:23 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i have no intention of agree'ing to mobs on a FFA day, especially when we arrived first and we have the #s to do this in a moment'
[Sun Oct 06 13:27:51 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'give us 30 max, if we fail levi can have emp'
[Sun Oct 06 13:30:17 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'The options you have is to work something out. Or we can roll. I see no reason why you both cannot share as I suggested'
[Sun Oct 06 13:31:20 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'I'm not gonna roll when we are here first - we have the highest #'s - and we are about ready to engage | given the mob levi would sit here for a couple hours'
[Sun Oct 06 13:31:58 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'give us 30 and emp will be dead'
[Sun Oct 06 13:33:05 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Alright here is the deal Ciner. Since you are being completely uncooperative in this matter. I have no choice but to force a random. If you both cannot agree on that. I will have no choice to to kick both guilds out.'
[Sun Oct 06 13:33:36 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'we are first in force, do you not understand your own pnp policies man?'
[Sun Oct 06 13:33:59 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'When I zoned into Ssrae Temple.. You both had equal force'
Uhh? Let us recap from above:
There are 54 players in Ssraeshza Temple. <… Us
There are 39 players in Ssraeshza Temple. <… Them
Jaydrox opens his mouth wide and yawns. <… Jaydrox arriving
GMs need Middle School math or better from here out I think. Anyways, back to log
[Sun Oct 06 13:34:19 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i think 30 minutes(now 20) is very fair'
[Sun Oct 06 13:34:44 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'how about i give you 20'
[Sun Oct 06 13:34:51 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'and if you engage by then and win'
[Sun Oct 06 13:34:54 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'all is good'
[Sun Oct 06 13:34:57 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'if you cannot we get'
[Sun Oct 06 13:35:02 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'that is fair no?'
[Sun Oct 06 13:35:23 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i think that is the true showing of who is first in force'
[Sun Oct 06 13:35:54 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'I have already tried to work things out Ciner. Its time to just random it.'
Here I offer Leviathan the same time limit as us to engage Emperor. I’m sure you can realize since they did not do so they were not ready with their 39 members, but Cassiana wants to random for it - gee I wonder why
[Sun Oct 06 13:36:20 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'cass?'
[Sun Oct 06 13:36:45 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i offer you 20 mins, or give us 20 mins'
[Sun Oct 06 13:36:50 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i think that is very fair'
[Sun Oct 06 13:37:06 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'You wont agree to anything already suggested... I dont need to agree to you now. =) '
[Sun Oct 06 13:37:21 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'While I think that is fair Ciner.. It think its more than reasonable to work all this out right now. To avoid agruments throughout the day'
[Sun Oct 06 13:37:55 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'I am willing to give you guys Emp/Hp and we will take cursed and wait for Seru to spawn for our good mob.'
[Sun Oct 06 13:41:39 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'if not let us force the emp random and if we lose force the TLs out'
[Sun Oct 06 13:42:10 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'cause no way we are leaving volentary when we are the first here, highest #, and ready'
[Sun Oct 06 13:42:13 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Well Leviathan is willing to agree to my initial proposal and a potential random. You have your choice of the two Cinder'
[Sun Oct 06 13:42:41 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i have no intention of agreeing to something my guild will hang me by the balls for'
[Sun Oct 06 13:44:45 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'we are here ready and you are saying lets give to levi who will wait a few hrs'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:24 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'I guess this leaves the only option to random'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:28 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'Its been 25 min since we started this'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:39 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'i realize how long its been cass'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:43 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'we are engaging in 5'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:46 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'you want to tl us out'
[Sun Oct 06 13:48:49 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'your choice'
[Sun Oct 06 13:49:02 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Your guild is fastly approaching a warning Ciner'
[Sun Oct 06 13:49:10 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'I would suggest not doing so'
[Sun Oct 06 13:49:17 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'we are here first and we are ready jay, you have no right within pnp to stop us'
[Sun Oct 06 13:49:51 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'I am going to random from 1-100'
[Sun Oct 06 13:50:18 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'If its below 50 Levitahn will get the emp'
[Sun Oct 06 13:50:31 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Above 50 and Its TR'
[Sun Oct 06 13:50:58 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'do your random but your going to have to tl us out'
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:07 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'Here we go... Please advise that the losing guild will need to leave'
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:17 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'And move onto another encounter'
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:26 2002] **A Magic Die is rolled by Jaydrox.
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:26 2002] **It could have been any number from 0 to 100, but this time it turned up a 29.
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:35 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'I have rolled a 29'
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:46 2002] Jaydrox tells Jaychat:6, 'TR, you will need to leave the area'
[Sun Oct 06 13:51:54 2002] You tell Jaychat:6, 'were not leaving, WE ARE READY'
[Sun Oct 06 13:52:32 2002] Jaydrox shouts, 'Township, as per the random.. You will need to leave. I am sorry an agreement could not be meet'
[Sun Oct 06 13:54:20 2002] Heriz the Malignant slithers across the floor, fangs gleaming with poison.
[Sun Oct 06 13:54:24 2002] Cassiana tells Jaychat:6, 'They just pulled'
Yes, we engaged. We were ready, and the 30 minute time limit I had said we would be following in response to Cassiana saying engage emperor was about to expire.
So Jaydrox ports us all to our binds, gives Township a guild warning and suspends Ciner for 7 days…
I’m uncertain how this can be supported when you consider all the above evidence - as well as the inconsistent policies regarding the same mobs.
The sad thing is I started taking logs and proof just in August… imagine if I had could demonstrate to you that this, and worse, has been happening since the server came up nearly. Cause it has, and its rather pathetic when you consider this is the best customer service on the “premium server.”
I’m rambling though, so – 3 hours after we had been forced out of Emperor, and we had just killed Cursed… Leviathan was still sitting at the Emperor portal (yes the mob we were fighting had still not been engaged 3 hours later…) Ssra crashed. So Emperor was wasted thanks to the above bullshit. This is what the GM had to say about it:
Wasn’t enough they had forced us out after engage, then sat around 3 hours, they were entitled to more. They did not kill Emperor Sunday night at all… Monday, this is what Jaydrox had to say about us heading up to kill Emperor:
So what is left to say really, the favoritism here toward Leviathan is incredible, the Customer Service is truly some of the worst our guild has ever seen. Stormhammer is not worth a dime more than a normal server; in fact for being subject to this laughable Customer Service it should be free.

Extra Extra !! Leviathan Exploits Vex Thal - October 3rd, 2002 |
by
cinder |
Chapter XXXXXXXXVIII
Doesn't this just take the cake. So after 7days.. I repeat 7 DAYS !! that Leviathan is in Vex Thal, the clock ticks and its time for TR to go in.
Lo and behold they STILL have not managed to clear the zone. So in zones TR to polish up. What do we find you may ask ?
This is where it gets fun. After killing DXX we make our way to the blobs only to take a portal into no less than 15 deliberately stuck mobs.
These were not pathing errors, or bugged pulls, they were deliberately stuck mobs by leviathan in the portal room. The losers couldn't even clear Vex Thal legitimately, they stick a ton of the unmessable, nastiest mobs in zone so they don't have to deal with their respawn.
Lewwwwsers !!
Well, we get waxed pretty completely but res up fast enough to continue the TR carnage and polish up the zone.
Kudos to leviathan for not being able to kill emperor without GM assistance.
Kudos for still not clearing VT after almost 3 months in zone.
Kudos for only being able to do the zone by Exploiting, and sticking mobs.
Kudos for crying to the GMs and whining to get what you want then laughing as you exploit your gift behind their back.
You truly have won the golden egg of the month award.
Leviathan - 1
GMs - 0
Did this effect TR ownage one bit... Nope, but we sure as hell did find it funny.
When will the welfare ever end....

Whats New On Shithammer - September 30th, 2002 |
by
cinder |
And the saga continues.
Seems yet again the value of a $40 a month membership begins to slide down faster than a leviathan officers tongue into a GM's asshole.
Yet another change to the GM forced reservation system for Vex Thal:
Greetings folks.
After much deliberation and input from you, the Stormhammer customers, it has been decided to move Vex Thal to a full, seven day rotation. I have received many emails both for and against this, yet the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
This was done due to the increasing conflicts within the zone and with the idea that the guild that has the zone reservered, will have a full week to enjoy the zone without having to worry about time constraints and competition.
Yes yes !! /cheer the elimination of competition from the server. Thats the great thing about this server, you pay MORE for regulation.
It's not about reservations, calendars, GM control and the like, its about MONEY and CONTACTS. In this particular scenario we have a group of officers in a guild that frankly is substandard and lacking. RESULT - complain till so many problems are caused that the GMs will bend over backwards and hold hands to make sure they can kill something in 7 days that takes the rest of the uber world 1 day to clear.
Soooo... whats next. full week rotation on NToV ? why not. why is NToV not on a week rotation so that "a guild can enjoy the zone without any preassure" but VT is different.
Why is Hate, Fear and PoG not on a full week rotation. why not KT. Does not another guild also deserve a chance at reserving a zone for a WEEK in order not to be preassured ?
A guild cant kill emperor like everyone else ? we'll lets let em have EVERY SPAWN till they get it right.
A guild can't clear VT like any normal guild in FOUR DAYS of rotation, well lets give em a solid week.
So why don't we get off this chicken shit communist server where GMs play god, well we can't. See by moving here uder the rules when the server came up we all burnt our bridges fornming one of the most hardass guilds in EQ. So we really dont have much to go back to.
Those of you that laughed about TR forming, you were right, not because of the obscene price we pay or the "wannabe aspect", we were all uber before we came. You were right because who would have predicted that we would be dealing with a loser mentality of a guild letting Items and mobs ROT 2 hours before a server patch because by calendar rules an opposing guild cannot kill them:
You ask GM: levi is in VT and not killing their calendar mobs in ssra, server down in 2 hours can we kill ?
GM tells you: ask levi
you ask levi: you arent killing the mobs can we take em before patch?
Levi tells you: We aren't killing them, we own em, don't touch em.
GM tells you: sorry we have to let em rot.
YES !!! the triumph and fairness that is everquest where hundreds of thousands of people get together to experience the satisfaction of FUCKING OVER their server mates. Then wash away the pain with a GM enema.
What makes it worse is the fact that Leviathan and TR made an agreement with a GM that the next Cursed and creator on lev rotation is to be taken by TR in a mob exchange. This was done WITH a GM. Was it honored ?? nope.
TR asks: whats with our creator and Cursed
Leviathan says: haha fuck you
GM's say: we'll look in to it.
End result, no more deals
By and large I like most leviathan members, all politics aside I could care less about someone's guildtag.
Where does the problem lie then ? it begins with the Pizzaman himself
Osama bin Krurk. A man whose ego is far bigger than any server can handle. Get some clearasil home boy. Can we say "polly want a chocolate bar ?"
Life goes on as do we, setting the standard for the server as a whole. Ownage has happened as usual and we sit waiting on PoP and the day that every orc in EC goes on a 7 day rotation.
GG Verant, two thumbs up (your ass)

you dirty rat - September 19th, 2002 |
by
ciner |
Vex Thal - The final zone, the culmination of the numerous timesinks that we all know as Shadows of Luclin.
How long has it taken you to get into Vex Thal? That is, if you’ve gotten to enter the zone at all. The process to step inside Vex Thal is lengthy, boring, and repulsive… but what if you could skip all that work, all the time needed.
Sign me up, right? You’re hooked, you want in, of course you do. Here is what you’ll need:
A shower cap
A plane ticket to San Diego
Your best “O” mouth
The patience to wait 30 seconds on your knees
Gross! I know it is, but it seems some members of another guild on Stormhammer were willing to do just that.
Purple Troll GM…hummm, hard one, could it be JHEK THE CHAMPION?
Now I don’t think anyone has an issue with GMs summoning people around, as this Leviathan member is obviously quite proud of. Hey, if some Stormhammer GM wants to summon some members of Leviathan to like the Warrens, or maybe hell, I don’t think anyone would complain. Is it really necessary though, to summon Leviathan members to the only zone that requires four to six months of prep work to enter? Is it?
Here’s another bit of info for our curious readers. As seen on the Legends Website, the GM Staff of Stormhammer are considering a weekly Calendar for Vex Thal. This is in response to the shitload of emails they have been getting recently from Leviathan members who do not think four days a long enough time for them to kill Aten Ha Ra. Mind you most guilds kill Aten in a single night, and by the fourth night are almost getting ready for her to spawn again… You can sail the Nile in four days, but apparently killing an Everquest mob is too difficult, you damn hagbitch Aten.
So we’ve got GMs summoning Leviathan into Vex Thal with no keys, GMs thinking about extending Calendar to seven days to allow Leviathan more time. You don’t think we’ve forgotten when Verant spawned several Emperors in a row for Leviathan to practice on, do you? I mean come on, Everquest is getting easy enough, do you really need to hold a guilds hand all the way to Aten Ha Ra? I honestly do not doubt Verant would kill Aten for this spoiled bunch of crybabies. Grow some balls Verant, and for God’s sake man, let a guild stand on their own two feet.
As for us Rebel bitches, well, we’ve been in farm mode and seen a few too many Seru/Emperor/Aten bodies lately; but what else is there to do until the next timesink comes this way.

Additional VT Pleasures - September 6th, 2002 |
by

Mini Va Xi Aten Ha Ra... Now leashed like the bitch she is. Pull her 20 range from her podium and experience the stunning graphics of a mob warp as well as the new end-game feature of a full blown instantaneous agro list wipe.
Instead of truely fixing the warping problems with mobs, or spending the time to repair Vex Thal's zone geometry, VI serves up this pile of steaming manure.
Gm's must of picketed the dev desk to bring about this change. The warning and banning list was growing ever too extensive.
New Vex Thal Gem

Bordael Bullshit Bulletin #1 (History to be added soon) - August 31st, 2002 |
by
corona |
Parental Discretion is advised.
I been begging the leaders of TR for weeks 'Let me flame this bastardized product of trailor park trash inbreeding!'. But since GM Bordael happened to be the lead admin for SH, the option was declined repeatedly. Well guess fuckin what? The leaders finally gave me the official nod and now heads are gonna roll. Welcome to the shit list GM Bordael where you are the star attraction of the TR news.
While Bordael left for 2 weeks to serve as a developer on the Playstation Everquest release, all the problems of GM inconsistency completely vanished as the new GM's served on SH. The Bord calendar of welfare was still enforced, but we endured...
Well Bordael has brought his insanity back and reclaimed his SH Gm-Admin seat while exercising his ego and power control kicks namely on the Township denizens. He also brought all the bullshit back with him. After following every single option to recieve improved customer service on EQ's premier services to no avail, this is what we're left with - a bitching rant.
So what exactly put the tick in our ass?
If badass Bordeal wants to lead with an iron fist, then the bitch best be fair. The never ending inconsistencies whenever TR turns their backs is what has gotten us fired up over the last 4 months. If you happen to become involved with Bordael, unless your a member of Leviathan, you will always get the shaft -- gaurenfuckingteed.
From shit like this which really doesn't concern us, we are not at all suprised to hear of the issue with Bordael.
"Selective enforcement of the rules is bullshit." -- Thurloc Lightrender
I couldn't of said it better myself, you sir deserve a fucking emmy. Thing is, we deal with this same type of shit spewing from Bordael on a regular basis.
What kinda stuff concerns us? More Bordael love-child calendar crap this week. Bordael maintains the calendar and TR reserves Seru, however this week the reservation shows as:
TR did in fact reserve Seru the week prior (and the calendar used to reflect this), but why is it now listed as open? So someone turns to Bordael and asks... Whats the reply?
Basically, what it comes down to is... Bordael believed Leviathan wanted a shot at Seru, but didn't want to take the chance of a tier failure, Bordael bends over once again for Levi stating 'you may'. But when Township asks why Seru is listed as open when Seru was listed as TR reserved the week prior, we get the standard Bordael 'fuck you TR' message.
Now heres our beef. You call TR greedy.. fine. If a mobs up on tier8 (Emperor Ssraeshza, Lord Inquisitor Seru or Vex Thal) you bet your ass we want it. But you call us a whiner you cacksacker? Throughout the fucked up history of the calendar you implemented, only one other guild is ever given special service to, and it definately ain't us. Our problem here, is your repeated inconsistency yet again, don't you fucking get it? Yah, we got a damned problem with it -- if your going to give this special immediate service out, you better damned well be doing it to every guild on ShitHammer. That means, all guilds on tiers 1 through 7 as well. So, now, go and open up the calendar immediately to the dozen guilds who all want a shot at a mob on thier tier rating which they aren't sure if they can kill. Until you do it for all, we see you as a GM using 'selective enforcement of rules'.
Onto another Bordael calendar lovetoy. Vex Thal. What constitutes a VT success to keep ones tier8 standings in good order? ONLY killing Thall Va Kelun. Yep, thats it. WTF? While invisi-spying around VT, did you fail to miss the sexy Aten Ha Ra? Vex Thal tier requirement needs to be Aten Ha Ra you twit. To further complicate things this isn't stated under the calendar rules faq. Clearly, it will be changed after the one guild in question follows through with enough persistance to kill Aten.
Did i mention that the Seru calendar issue happened on the same day that Peeping Tom Bordael was drooling over the chance to guild ban TR if Mini-aten warped in VT? Well, Mini-Aten didn't warp an inch. Did i also mention, that Wulin is still banned? The guy that has was NOT using show-eq? Yah, thats fucking right, WULIN WAS NOT USING SHOW EQ AND HE'S STILL BANNED!
Why doesn't TR state how we can see invis gms in zones with in game commands? Because if we do, its gonna get fucking nerfed. Call us paranoid, but we'd rather know when Bordaels around, so that all TR members can switch to IRC chat instead of guildchat.
Whether you clean up your shit in the future or not, you will still smell like ass. We know it, hundreds of others know it, and other gm's know it. What we don't understand, is how the fuck you're still here? Does none of the higher up's give a damn about the Customer Service horseshit thats going on on the SH server? Yah, remember us you fucking tards? The idiots that you boned into $40 a month for broken promises?
So.. Who finally got Seru you might ask? Roughly 2 hours before the weekly calendar reservation went live the Rebellion downed him.
Got a story with Bordael? If its truely honest, complete and unbiased and you still feel like you've dealt with a whacked out gm, email me: corona2400@yahoo.com
Gonna add some future news so everyone can see the ridiculously long history in which Bordael has used his selective rulings right / HERE /.

BITCH BE COOL - August 28th, 2002 |
by
ciner |
So you know the $40 server? Supposedly, the “premium can’t beat this game experience, evah” server? Sure you do, Stormhammer… every ones favorite joke. Well server crashed last night, no reason given except its made of crackerjack boxes.
Little quick information, Stormhammer suffers under Lead GM Bordael’s love child, 4-day Calendar, 3-day Free For All, weekly rotation. Basically, for four days the GMs tell us what we can and what we cannot kill, and occasional what zones we can and cannot populate. Then, if anything is still left up after the four Calendar days we are allowed to kill those mobs, sometimes. We pay $40 a month, and GMs tell us what we can and cannot do, in a game, for entertainment, sum that up in your head.
So Tuesday, yesterday, FFA day, hell yea, we get online ready to go. What treat has GM Bordael left us?
We thought, “what the shit?” Oh no you don’t, no way the 4-day Calendar just ate our fucking FFA Tuesday. Consistency a word you’ve ever heard?
We thought for two seconds and decided there was no way in hell we were going to have another Calendar day imposed on us, the first four are ass enough. So we head on over to Vex Thal to kick some ass, FUQ THA PO LEEECE, and all that.
We are running in circles at zone in, buffing and eating our McDonald’s Mighty Kids Meals. (Year supply of Mighty Kids Meals plz, I plugged you man, DON’T BE STINGY MICKEY D’S) When words came to mind… Sigil Games…a new hope…
[20:32] -Aradune- and another issue is managing players' expectations... LISTENING to them... explaining oneself very clearly, especially if something happens that's controversial or that might be perceived by some as negative
“Take a lesson from your former boss Bordael, and sit the fuck down,” we thought, we prayed. And God made Bordael’s knees feeble and knock together.
We began our domination of Vex Thal; we even began to start to remember why we played Everquest in the first place, as the mobs started falling. Then, just as our enjoyment was returning, we realized some mother fuck was watching us like a fat man watches his cheeseburger. It was of course, Bordael… Watching us invisible elite-GM-cloaked style.
We were a bit curious as to why he was watching us till we noticed the latest update on Legacy of Steel today; he was attempting to do the same to us. (Good read about more Verant bullshit if you have not gotten chance to check it out yet) Bordael was going out of his way to try and ban some of his paying customers… I say going out of his way cause he was sitting in the zone a good sixty minutes watching us operate. Hoping we were using the same Dain-warpage so he could swoop in like Batman on our ass.
Now here is where you might say, “Township how did you know the invisible elite-cloaked GM was watching you like a double cheeseburger,” and I will tell you, my curious visitor. We thought about using 3rd Party Software like Show EQ, but decided too damn risky with all the GM bitz probing our computers. As Bordael says they are allowed to do with a “Verant program.” That’s hacking mind you, highly illegal, and very irresponsible for a company in Verants position to do to its paying customers. (Sue Verant! They can pay you with our $40 a month, then, at least it might go to something useful)
So how did we do it?! We used an Everquest game command; yes one of Verants own in game commands we are entitled to use, no elite software or a guild psychic. What did Bordael have to say about this? These were tells to an officer in TR, Wulin;
[Wed Aug 28 00:07:01 2002] Bordael tells you, 'Leyrin shouted erlier "I hope someday GMs gonna spy Levi as much as they spy on us...talk about fairness"'
Leyrin just happened to be the guy to comment on Bordael, but our entire guild saw Bordael in the zone with us. This is his solid evidence against Wulin...guess Stormhammer has its own mister Holmes, you so tricky smart Bordael.
[Wed Aug 28 00:08:06 2002] You told Bordael, 'i think he was joking'
[Wed Aug 28 00:08:17 2002] Bordael tells you, 'you are not familar with how he would have known I was in the zone, given for a fact that I know I was not visible?'
I think it is you, Bordael, who are not familiar actually, with your own game commands. Cause it was pretty god damn simple you stupid fuck.
Like a gay man in jail, Bordael went deeper…
[Wed Aug 28 00:09:20 2002] Bordael tells you, 'Are you familar with our End User License Agreement about the use of 3rd party programs that alter the gameplay of EverQuest?'
[Wed Aug 28 00:10:33 2002] Bordael tells you, 'as unless something else comes to light your account is currently suspended for EULA violation and review for cancellation'
[Wed Aug 28 00:10:58 2002] Bordael tells you, 'I am very sorry to be the bearer of these tidings as I know your character represents a lot of work on your part'
Yet Bordael is not sorry enough to investigate a joke for 10 minutes even before he bans a 300+ day played Everquest account due to his own inbred ignorance.
It is sad as fuck when Verant has succumbed to this level. I truly hope people can look at and Verant in a few years and realize there utter mistakes, and correct them in their own products. Treat your customers well, with some respect, and we will do the same for you, we pay your salary always remember. These are the basics of business, come on Verant, get a clue. (And this is company is owned by Sony! What the fuck man I love my Sony sock warmer and shit, but damn Verant is like that broken Sony product that just wont work right, fucking fix it!)
The real problem with Stormhammer, is that Everquest can’t support what Verant has offered in the way of dynamic content. Just isn’t possible without a drastic overhaul to the 5-year old Everquest engine, which you will not see until Everquest 2. So, you are probably wondering, “Why, why-god-why did they make Legends?” You know the answer to this one, the almighty $$$. We have had, some cool GMs that did try their best with the crap they have to work with. (Namely Athelan, Xenaida, Vedan and maybe one other, Vedan still plugging away… the other two PUNKS abandoned us to GM Bordael’s insanity) Wont even get into GM Jaydrox who thought Vindicator spawned Statue issue. It goes with out saying, there are a lot of GMs on Stormhammer who I don’t think even played Everquest before they are given a GM avatar.
So should you be foolish enough when signing up your billing information to choose the right picture, Legends… Will you get an enjoyable Everquest experience? You might, but only if you like Arena last-man-standing competitions more than life itself. We have last-man-standing every damn day of the week! Come to Stormhammer, 24/7 last-man-standing!
Corona, Rhaski and I will be starting a new "Bordael Bullshit Bulletin" column once a week, so keep eyes out for that in the future, we wont disappoint.
Lastly, Aten Ha Ra and Lord Seru died anyways; through all the shit that is Stormhammer we waded to victory. (my bi-yearly news complete, thanks for reading)
[Wed Aug 28 00:17:26 2002] Thou hast been expelled by the gods!

So Stormhammer crashes again, more mobs to kill! Today we wiped out most of VT, including AHR, and as you can see by the pic, The Avatar of War. It's always fun seeing the death spam when that evil bastard tank flips the mob on enrage.

Just do this during a mob that Gfluxes in VT! (This was during AHR)
Thx for killing the entire group!
In other news, stuff has died. Another 2 Serus, Emp, and Aten+the rest of VT (even after that BS) has vanished for a week.

To save bandwidth, more text updates. If I posted a pic for each and every kill, I'd own your connection!
As you all know, the servers have been somewhat unstable the last few days, and have gone down multiple times. In the time since Wedesday, we have killed:
Cursed Cycle 4x
Emp 3x (Woulda been 4x but the damn sever came down when he was at 83%)
Blood 4x
King Tormax 4x
AoW 1x
Creator 3x
High Priest 2x
Arch Lich 1x (At 7am!)
Dozekar 1x
Kaas Thox Xi Ans Dyek 3x
Diabo Xi Xin Thall 3x
Diabo Xi Va 2x
Diabo Xi Xin 2x
Diabo Xi Va Temariel 1x
Thall Va Kelun 1x
Va Xi Aten Ha Ra 1x
Aten Ha La La Ra 1x
As you can see, we keep ourselves busy, and try not to waste mobs.
We also managed to check out the "New" Sleepers Tomb and were the first guild on Stormhammer to kill the new Dragons in the old Warder area. They couldn't even come up with new models to spice it up, you are stuck fighting Yeli, Vulak, and Vyemm clones.
Don't be fooled thinking ST is now this great uber zone for guilds who can kill Emp. It's not. It's the same as pre-sleeper except the mobs are a little harder, and the loot tables have changed (Old Warder loot does NOT drop). The loot we got was on par with NToV loot. Primal has been renamed, but the stats rename the same, with added weapons (Allall 1HB, both a mace and staff, and a primal dagger for all you rogues who hate the spear look).
Heres the kicker though: You will find your self with a TON of quest items. Think HoT 2x, and that's what you have on your hands. I personally hate "questing" for high end items, and I'm sure many others do as well. They probably have something to do with the "story" Verant has cooked up, but I personally didn't bother hailing the 6 or so NPCs scattered throughout the zone. Probably just guys asking for multiple items, rewarding you with something half way decent.
Oh, and don't let the dragons fool you. Despite the dragons names all ending in "Ancient", they don't drop ancient spells. You are stuck farming Vulak! Yaaaaay.
All in all, a bad effort by Verant. While it's nice newer guilds can go in and kill some dragons like the old days, ST hasn't really changed much. They felt the need to triple the amount of mobs you need to clear to get down, so don't expect to pop in and out unless you got a sucker mage. Along with the new quests, you now have an awesome timesink zone, which is exactly what Verant wants.
No thanks.

Well, not much to update about.
Cleared VT for the second time, grats to everyone on the loot. We also went on a freakin' rampage the last 2 days, and killed pretty much everything worth killing. Off the top of my head: Burrower, AL, Cursed cycle, AoW, CT, Blood (Emp was killed earlier in the week), and I think Shei.
I have no pics, since I hate taking, sizing, and uploading them. Yes, I am a lazy bitch.

Blinding mobs that gate=Priceless! - July 7th, 2002 |
by
rhaski |
After spending the last few days in Vex Thal, we managed to kill more boss mobs like: Diabo Xi Xin, Diabo Xi Va, Diabo Xi Xin Thall, and Thall Va Kelun (Who came up with these hard as hell to remember names?). Got some really nice drops off of TVK (Sanguine Gloves and Leggings of Fiery Might), and some really poor quality loot from the rest. Hopefully a patch will fix up some of these extremely lame items.
 
Also in the last 2 days we have dropped Emperor, The Avatar of War, High Priest, Arch Lich, Thought Horror Overfiend (Which Coquetry, an Enchanter, managed to Main Tank the entire fight) and Tunare
 
And now....back to VT!

More Server Firsts - June 30th, 2002 |

TR pops the seal on Vex Thal
All in all, the zone is beautiful albeit a bit too dark. For this hellacious timesink Verant should of come up with some original mob models. Just incase ya didn't see enough four-arms/shades/rock idgets/Oozes when sharding and slimeing, they fill another zone similar to the Estate of Unrest with em, slap a massive timesink in front of it and label the zone Vex Thal.
Call us your Beta Testing Bitches
Imagine three straight hours of ridiculously sized trains comparable to the original Petted Plane of Hate with mobs hitting for 600+, and ae'n for 1500 damage. Majorly fucking lame. How about adding us to the payroll for bug testing?
Finally, VT_Bug_01 shows itself. Mob drops straight on me from the ceiling and delivers the 'Pain and Suffering has just kicked your ass' message. Seemed SHE was hiding under the room we were trying to pull. No_named_mob aka Pain and Suffering was spreading agro quicker then Cinder spreads herpes at a highschool keg party.
Armed with this new info and complimented with the leaders gem of advice  victory soon followed. Vex Thal didn't stand a chance against the profound logic. Pain and Suffering VT_Bug_01 was pulled solo, exterminated, and a few other mobs fell shortly after.
Killed twice -- once in east, second in west.
Its amazing, the zones done really well (overlooking bugs), the pathing is good, the yard trash is adequate with the zone, but the mini boss mobs are rhag1 in difficulty... What gives? Up the difficulty at least to Shei Trivilati on the mini bosses. Also, mind adding at least some gold bands, silver rings and a handful of copper pieces on the yard trash? hmm?
Needs some FT5 or something..
Uber... Right?
Maybe Not

Emp falls for the 6th time.... - June 26th, 2002 |
by
rhaski |
Safe to say we can claim Emp a farm mob now. Hopefully we will have some VT corpse shots in the future :) Other then that, we've been killing the normal farmage mobs like Shei, Burrower, Doze, AoW, etc. while getting everyone keyed up for VT.
Until then...blah. Yes, I know text only updates suck ass, but do you really need another corpse shot of Emp?
And on a personal note, FU RoadRunner for going down for a week. 28.8k connections do not own.

Hello. - June 15th, 2002 |
by

Yea, hello. I'm Rhaski, the new guy :(
After killing Cursed/Shei/Burrower/THO this week, Stormhammer crashed again, so we killed Cursed/Shei/Tormax again today, Match up the pics and win a cookie.
 
We are also working hard at Emp, and hopefully I will have a corpse shot soon =)
** 4 am CST Edit ***
okok, after We killed Blood and took another attempt at Emp, High Priest spawned at 2am and since it was "FFA" time on the lame Calendar, we killed it! After that we found Statue was still up and with 46 people, a good chunk of them 2-boxed, AoW fell. We ended the night with a Doze and HoT named clearing.
 
Gotta love those 2-4am kills =D
Oh, and in case anyone forgot, Necros STILL suck:

Stormhammer Event - June 6th, 2002 |
by
corona |
Players think they can movelog to Stormhammer, walk up to a GM barking 'gimme ph@t l3wtz!', and a 1 hs weapon with a 32k HT proc will magically appear in thier packs. While this may be true for the level teens, its hardly the case for the players who push the upper levels on the server.
In recent conversations the EQ gods hinted at adding more content for the uber guilds. TR requested the implementation of impossible encounters with high rewards such as a new ring war with the giants replaced with AoWs. Although the GMs didnt enjoy the humor, lately the Stormhammer staff has delivered some interesting encounters.
A unique encounter began in Traks Teeth. Surrounded by hordes of drakes stood a dragon named Ithiosar the Wretched. Ithiosar the Wretched was a Zlandicar replica and happened to be camping iksar corpses. Killing Ithiosar the wretched popped Ithiosar the Black. 250k-300k HPs, 800DD Lure AE, with a 150hp per tick dot over 8.5 hours.
Items which were looted: Dragon Tooth Amulet, Neck/Range/Secondary Ac10 Wis15 hp60 mana70 svCold12 svMagic12 CLR DRU SHM
Grats Rot:
 |
While its not too shabby for a Kunark encounter. We're hoping the GM's add more of these encounters, move the encounters to Luclin, make them a bit more challenging and upgrade the drops.

I can only wonder when today started. I wake up at my normal time around 12 noon. IRC says MM/Tormax/Statue/Vindi/Aow dead. I didn't think much of it, thought it was a joke or just old. Yea, well I was sure wrong. Yup, we killed all of those mobs BEFORE 12 noon PST. Good job guys, I was dreaming about you.
I can account for some mobs. When I got up we hit up the burrower, who dropped a tunic and some other stuff (who cares if a cleric can't wear it... for real). THO was up, and of course we love our wizards enough to fall asleep through that fight.
Then we move on to my new favorite fight. Cursed kicks ass as a cleric, it's one of those fights where you actually have to pay attention to everything. You cannot just sit there and click your button when the time comes. I liked the fight so much I took a picture just for YOU.
Still had a good force on, and hell we were in ssra so we went and kill the rhags! There was a plot behind our madness, to kill AL omg. He dropped 2 uber necklaces and a 2hs pally sword that rotted (yay!). I would give you a screenshot but WHY IN THE HELL would you want ANOTHER picture of a snake?
I just have to say that today was one of the more fun days I have ever had. No bitching or complaining, we all knew what we needed to do and it was done with speed. Just how I like it. Team work is where its at, and you guys kick ass. Feels like we're all just one big happy soccer team. If that's true then ciner is our soccer mom, with one huge ass mini-van.

Server First - May 9th, 2002 |

Necros are the win. They never get the pride of the kill shot.
As you have already guessed by now, we finally took down this guy.
It of course was a fun fight. Most first fights are, but I wish he wasn't a snake. Despite the fact we've seen snakes before and have killed a few, we decided to take this one down. We had an excellent show of skill by the warriors and clerics. The charmed rogues that showed me love mid-fight were much appreciated as well.
Another patch day tommorow. WOOT!
Side note. There should be more updates as of today. Moving home plus a whole lotta ssra has kind of put a damper on the writing scene.

Britney Spears awoke me from a deep sleep last night. She whispered softly that there was to be no farming on this day. As I opened my eyes I thought two words, "Oh Shit." I threw my soiled sheets in the wash and got on my computer. Two words, "Oh shit." Statue was up! I threw my soiled pants in the wash then got my naked ass to Kael.
Following this seemingly perfect AoW fight, more splurging commenced by all at the event.
Our main tanks could not have done it without Britney, she kept the stress level down.
If only Britney played everquest.

After long tests of endurance, TR was finally ready to take a few members up to Blood and conduct a few tests.
It was my first time even visiting the blood. It's always fun to go to new areas despite the fact you die multiple times. But TR in our normal kick ass fashion, under our leaders ssra kickassness(is that a word?) guidance, found some good ways to kill this guy.
In under 3 hours, we had gone in and cleaned house. With so few of us, the DT's kind of took their toll. So we were unable to loot the corpse. It's ok, the loot was not anything special. Bracer and a Belt I think. Oh well, thats the price to pay for ANOTHER server first!

AoW downed again. That bitch won't stop complaining, seeing as how he died to the cheal bug this time around.
This guild is very bad on my memory. I know we killed a shitload more mobs, but for the life of me I can't remember most of them. But I do have a nice screen shot of a ring war gone bad!
Friendly Reminder: Patch day IS more important than finals.
Thank you, Drive through

Complete.. fucking.. stupidity. Those three words kept ringing through my head tonight.
Lilwars advising his cult. Unfortunatly, he drank the cyanide koolaid first.
(for the sight impared thats Township killing Statue as Lilwars trains a couple dozen giants on us, right infront of a GM)
Banned like the hater you are.
Beat Leviathan to a spawn and expect trains of 30 mobs to miraculously appear I guess.
Lilwars, Leviathans hero bandit revealed.
Hey its all good though, GM tells Leviathan and us to both let Enrapture get statue and leave zone. We bail and kill Arch Lich with 65 people...
..Leviathan drops their tags, convinces Enrapture to guild them so they can come back to Kael, right in the GMs face who just told them to leave the zone. GM says they have four hours to kill what they like and leave. Pretty nice right? Pleanty of time to kill AoW and get the fuck gone right? Wrong.
Idol of Rallos Zek fail one
Idol fail two
Idol fail three
...and finaly, in their 5th hour in Kael, AoW fail
Maybe you need 20 clerics?
Mind you this was with 84 Enrapiathans.
So I ask, what could possibly make the GMs of Leviathan.. Zamtil and Krurk, exiled FoH members.. lead such shitty raids? Then I remember Furor mentioning they were booted for ebaying FoH items.. Perhaps you should try to focus less on current ebay values of penile implants and more on the game, cause it aint getting any bigger boys.
Anyways we didn't have time to think about these idiots, a wasted AoW, and a wasted 6 hours... as GM entangled us in a rather fun event, that began with the kidnap of a member of ours. Event climaxed in Marauders Mire as we slew Captain Duelin and the fellow responsible for the kidnapping. AE feign death and a not so nice poison actually made for a pretty fun/difficult encounter. Thanks for the good time.
Later found out AoW was up in Kael.. and with a single gnome to the eye.. we did what Leviture could not do with 84. Rings and Legs(yes plural) was the reward
We got your gold. Good night to you sirs.

Today starts off like any normal day. We go into Ssra to do whatever the hell it is we do there all day and guess what? That bitch Evangelist High Priest wouldn't shut the fuck up. Join the church of ssra and free your sins for god blah blah blah. Well being a stout christian myself I know when a commandment is broken.
Thats for taking the lords name in vain bitch.

Today's story folks is about a one dimensional dastardly enemy. Battles. Death. Same old message about the horror of war, and those who enjoy it. Rinse. Repeat. You have yourself a #1 Topseller.
Yes, there are many bastards in this world. But none have raped, tortured, or hi-jacked little children as much as one. Ventani the Warder is wanted on servers across Everquest. Our elite force was there and ready to put the bag over his eyes before he had a chance to wake up. We took him and his band of merry men down for every mother that has ever loved a child.
The story today is lacking visual payoff due to the fact of graphic violence banned by the gaming commission.
Later....
Just when the statue was getting ready to make his debut later this evening verant pulled the plug. Yes, the server went down on Stormhammer AGAIN after the GM's daily Nerf(tm) tournament caused Bordael to trip over the power cable.
This explains all you need to know.
Yes, we took out all the new content. Then drop kicked ssra basement.

Consider the socks rocked
HP and the new AL downed for a double header of server firsts! We had only done a test run on the new AL one time, but this time we meant business. He went down on the first attempt with 65 Township present. Two shields dropped from that mo fakker.
Now getting down to business. We weren't fucking around this time. We got up there and got it done thanks to our great strategist Alusnova. The clerics did an absolutely awesome job healing, keeping the MT alive the whole fight. We started up to do HP with our normal amount of clerics, but once the word was out that we were up there all our clerics woke their asses up.
Of course, none of our raids would be possible without the help of the GM's. We say we need more clerics, and they are there ASAP. Of course they are only on trial members and must deguild after every raid.
