This is just sad.  If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard "Man I forgot how much fun this game was." I'd be a rich man.  I've only been playing a few months, but I can say without a doubt this is the best MMO I've ever played.  The great thing about the EMU is you get to play and speak with the DEV and GMs all the time.  You as a player have access you will never experience in another commerical MMO.  And what do we do with this access? Instead of heaping praise and thanks on a team of programers that don't get paid, for creating a game, you don't have to pay to play, you whine and complain.  JUST SAD.

I ran into a situation today that I've had happen to me in just about every MMO that I've played, spawn camp/spawn stealing. I'm not naive enough to believe that every spawn in a spot belongs to me, even if I was there first. I’m not so selfish that within reason I will share a spawn area.  But what happen today was enough of an aggravation that I had log off for a while and cool off and that is,  for ne the first sign that I might want to find another game to play regardless of how much I may like this one. While leveling combat and RD faction at the Chavez camp in Odin’s Belt I noticed that just outside my scanner range a few corpses kept appearing.  Moving a little I noticed that I was sharing the spawn area with two other groups. Since my kill rate was rather slow, this didn’t present a problem at first, but one of the groups had two people it in and they were killing rather quickly.  Soon this two man group began to drift into the area where I was at, and pinch a few mobs from the fringes of my area, again my kill rate being what it was this wasn’t a problem but soon after not only did they grab every mob that spawned, but started overkilling mobs I had tagged to the point, I was left with nothing to kill and wasting ammo firing at mobs that popped up. I tried sending a tell to the higher level of the two players, one was showing a pathetic the other impossible, but got no answer, with the same result when trying to communicate with the lower level  toon.    My question is how should I, or we as a community, deal with this kind of situation.  Is the server going to be a Bully Palace where higher levels can just come into an area an take it over?  Or can we as players and GMs agree to some kind of etiquette protocols.  I don’t steal kills, and in fact will leave an area if someone is already there, but if the policies of the GMs and community are let the bullies rule, then at least we all know where we stand and how we should treat our fellow EnBers.

How about the possibility for the slot machines working in the lounge?  Would be a great money sink.  Maybe later add a few card tables and a roulette wheel.
