Prepare for more cookie drama!

Hello.

Just to clarify, it is not Cookie's server, it is mine and Nitrous'.

Cookie is solely working on website development.

Pretty sure that douchelord was only a contractor on ggRO and we all know how that turned out. Just associating yourself with that scum is enough to tarnish your server. YOU DO KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS, RIGHT?!

Have a look at their hello & goodbyes: https://forums.deityro.com/forum/8-hello-goodbye/

It's just the same people from DoM, ggRO and all those other money-grab servers.
PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS SERVER CMON! Wake up. These guys are ruining RO. THEY ARE NOT GONNA GIVE YOU YOUR ULTIMATE RO SOLUTION!!! You guys keep complaining about lack of the right ro experience, yet you keep crawling back to the same scam artists over and over.

**** it all.

I give it a month or two. Better off playing test servers though.

Good luck

ggRO was owned by HotshotGG , then look what happen after that

Time to grab my popcorn.

[Herpderp]

Ah the good old "Cookie is just the dev, don't worry he can't do anything" trick. Working since SanctityRO!

Fake total post count again huh...

[Cubano]

It is actually true however, that Cookie is solely working on web development.

There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that happened on ggRO that made Cookie essentially the owner that will not happen on mine; Hotshot basically abandoned the project and left it to Cookie and co.

Say what you want about Cookie's past, he is still an amazing dev and has helped me out enormously with getting this server up and running.

This is not a trick or a gimmick, this is my project together with Nitrous (we have been guildmates for a long time in the past).

As for the post count thing...

so, they're launching already but none of the links on the website are working, not even the forums?

That's odd, they were working yesterday.

I'll have nitrous look into it.

Yes, as in I am a first time server owner and he made my life a lot easier finding all of the necessary forum licenses, hosts, etc.

He has not even touched the game code, that was all nitrous' work and he has done an amazing job!

If he's working on the website then he's going to need to know server database information, otherwise I can't see how he could set up account registrations or anything else. Even if it's not the root DB account (I hope not anyway) any connections to the DB require you to have credentials somewhere in the website's code.

I'd argue that having access to your server's game database is the real threat, because that's where all the damage can happen. And it's worse because there's likely not going to be a log of direct changes to the database. People don't care if he touches game code or not, he still will end up with access to all your account information, donation information, and other things that I don't think people trust Cookie with.

Cookie was for sure the cause of the death of every server he's interacted with from DivinityRO to SanctityRO to eoRO to ggRO. Everyone knows this. I'm sure you've already been warned about Cookie by everyone already anyway. I don't know who you are Cubano but I wish you the best of luck dealing with Cookie and friends.

Probably won't work long indeed and it seems the server is customized to protect a certain approach or strat.
Still might be worth a try for a group but certainly not for a casual or PvM player/group.

Explain?

[Styx]

Well, at first sight the server features pretend to be reasonable not too far from official settings.
Looking deeper at it, disabling GTB and FBH sounds reasonable but it also is the first sign to cut out possible problems for a certain setup to be successful.
You're not the only server so, it is just a first small sign it is for elite only.
The second sign is that a guild owning any castle get access to all guild dungeons considering God Items are enabled.
That combination is very protective and custom to give an elite what they want. Maybe very good for skilled players but for casual or average it isn't a situation leaving much prospects.
It will have impact on PvM or MVP also, beside there either will be an insane teleport custom AI implemented or a random warp on any map.
I just learned some relative new players how to portal tank Morroc and do you have any idea how difficult it can be for them to accomplish? Or don't you remember anymore?
So those players asked me, can we go there, do we have a chance? Nope, I said. This server is for the big boys and their 3thpartyprograms, they will control it all.
Probably on the long run we could accomplish something but either the server will be dead long before or we have to compete against God Items. We better seek somewhere else. Who cares if players are complaining if they think something is too easy? In the end if you have knowledge and programs everything is easy, a developer should stay out of that area, it is up to players how to deal with the situation. I think it will be too much for my group on your server settings. No Homunculus autoloot, that is like: I have headache let's shoot off my head, problem solved.

Man this is looking out to be great, not as a potential server, but as miraculous odds of this not becoming a failure like all the others, it's not just cookie this time, but an addition of custom features that cater to a specific play-style along with some custom features such as fragments dropped by monsters that are used for equipment that could change the whole meta of how to properly farm.
The rates for these fragments are hidden to normal players, and this would be fine and dandy, a neat feature if Cubano's intentions for creating the server weren't unclear.
Hopefully these "innovative changes" aren't for competely catering to old friends and guildmates looking for a new server to play, or giving out such information to whoever is in the in crowd.
Being involved with guilds playing your server is cancerous even if that wasn't the case.
Cookie is a can of worms everyone knows about, not only that the whole gang is there, maybe not under the same names, but certainly in moderation regardless of if they properly bring anything to the table in terms of keeping a community happy.
Take Humpy/Injustice (an admin of the deity-RO) for example, he has a record of sabotaging forums with incessant posts of sexual nature, take aevir-RO, it was indeed a garbage server, but he repeatedly posted his d*** with the admins name written on it on the forums.
While being hilarious, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt of just being a sexual deviant instead of mentally unstable. Putting cookies group in admin positions while himself just being a lower position doesn't fool anyone.
There has been this group for about 2-3 years called the "Midrate hoppers" no server seems to be stable enough to actually stay up long enough for people to settle down, whether it being ridiculously unbalanced to being network stable.
These people (ashamedly myself included) will lap up s*** servers and attempt to play them anyways.
This track record on day one of staff is the worst I've seen thusfar. I'm going to watch this s*** show unfold, give me a good show. Hopefully proving me wrong, that'd be even better to see.

[Humpy]

In my defense, I refrained from pulling my usual shenanigans on Aevir until it got to the point where the admins were clearly asking for it.

P.S. You forgot about the heart I drew on the tip.

Das my boi Jun

[yerm8yer]

I forgot to calculate that in, the heart is at least 5 points, not to mention it was a 6 letter name. Commendable , but it's too bad not maybe players cared at that point in the servers dying life to witness it.
As for Nitrous, how much self-study went into heightening your skills the past few years vs being tutored from "the best"? Honest question.
I don't doubt the amount of investment put in and this staff's competence, it's more-so the lack of self-control which makes every players investments a very volatile object. There's no check, just a patsy which makes things even more interesting.
The stagnation of RO is partly to blame, I can't really even fully fault the persons in question for their own actions because it's just a hobby that has these characteristics to need something added in the mix to be remotely interesting for veterans.

Kinda seems weird that he's the one asking for opinions when the owners are Cubano and Nitrous. If they were to start the thread obviously the thread won't end that way.

I want to see the general post by cawliflower, "Do you have any proof it was the same server project that I was referring to? I said I was a part of the project, for all you know I was asking for features so I can throw them into the recesses of my mind to be locked away forever." I'll die of laughter.
That thread was bait to just get some reactions, it's not like cookie holds any value in what anyone on this forum says in the first place.  Honestly I don't understand all these charades.
I don't believe anyone would leave the server if any truths were said at all they know full well of whats going on in the background.
In all honesty I think it would only bring benefits to just outright say "We have some of the most qualified staff balancing,"ensuring our top midrate spot", and monitoring the servers stability."
P.S. Donations go towards ensuring our staffs lack of self-control stays intact. please continue to donate so they don't decide one day that they wish to destroy what they've created for giggles.

Whoever did that needs to get a f*** medal. Who is he?

What an awesome and creative way to disturb crap servers and admins.

I think the funniest thing about this thread (at the moment) is the fact that people are making a fuss over Cookie when he's actually been MIA for some time. I haven't even been able to contact him lately.
