Summerstory, failing?

Sicarii wrote:dahn00b, about that thing of GMs scrolling equips and giving them out in events/selling them, I TOTALLY FUCKING AGREE with it. Yesterday Courtney went on a banning spree, banning people because they were scrolling. What's happening now? What? She's SCROLLING equips and selling them? Oh my god, I can't even believe that! As far as ChaoticFury goes, he told me he had scrolled his BWGs yesterday before we all were forbidden of scrolling. I have no reasons to doubt him.

4 channels, nice population, and some friendly staff; and we can't forget the 1meso shops and skill maxing.

Over the last week Summerstory's declined a metric poop-ton, just thought as a player I might share what I've noticed.

We went from people using smegas for chatting or something useful to spamming whether or not they're sexy and badmouthing GMs. Also, I understand that for a donation of 50$ you can get some GM status, or so the front page says, I don't agree with it, but it keeps the server up. I do think that maybe the GMs should do a bit of research on commands etc like visiting www.ragezone.com and looking at some of the lists and finding out what this server allows use of.

Secondly, this banning for scrolling ordeal seems to be getting a bit out of hand, take the items out or increase the cost, instead of spamming on global and looking ridiculous, and having your player base not really understand that a GM has a different coloured chat and should be listened to for a reason.

Third off, I'd like to mention the lag. When I first started playing here a week ago there was no lag whatsoever, and there were 4 channels. Now there's 3 channels, some of the spawns are over-populated where it's good to level, and for the last 2 hours I've been hitting mobs with 2k health for over 30k damage because of the lag. Making it practically impossible to play.

Kinda' bugs me, I don't really wanna' look for another server. I mean, I understand the wipes come as it's a beta but the lag issue looks like it can be resolved to be honest.

Anyhow, just thought I'd chip in my two cents on what I've seen the week I've been here.

v55 was the shit. I loved it, it was fun, etc. Then v62 came along and I couldn't bear myself to play it any more. From what you're all saying, it sucks and that just makes me sad.

This would be the second Private Server that I loved and now it dies, just like FMS... :<

We need to switch to another repack that wouldn't wipe the accounts or characters because i've seen alot of people leave my old server when i switched the repacks to sine. We had like 400~ people and around 150~ left. And the scrolling thing IS very annoying there should be a notice not to scroll. And banning for it... some people don't know about scrolling. And with the pirates, i do not know how that is glitched but it is. All we need is a new repack that .sql file wouldn't wipe the accounts. So whatever one we are using is a fail... that is the problem. And also repacks can cause lagg. When my server switched from my repack (PowderMS Repack) to sine it had many custom drops. So it could also be the drop rate but it is very low for summer story. So i don't think it is that, also it could be hackers using hacks and kipe.dll injectors. Hacks do LAGG the server it matters what type of hack it is. I think overall SummerStory has a great community i give it a 80/100. The repack fails... but it could be fixed. The scrolling problem could be most likely server side, scrollhandler or something like that. Just joined yesterday on the 23rd and i like it already.
