Per the EZ Events suggestion thread; it seems we want to do Halloween yet again. This event will be kicked off for a week. We'll see where were at this weekend whether we extend or just continue with Double Loot. The event will at least run through Monday the 17th Events- Halloween event Enabled
- Double Loot Enabled
- Double Credits Enabled
Also get your chance at credits while they're available. I've spoken about it a few different times recently but I will likely be disabling donations for some unknown time. I've kept them open because I get bugged about it constantly whenever they have been disabled |

Let me frame things again since this appears to be a post and a theme I see from time to time
Server has been up for well over 10 years free to the community
Server will continue to be online as long as there are players to enjoy it
The server was Hunter's baby and could have flat out died with him if I didn't coordinate with his family to crack the password on the server that was at his father's, put all of the data on a HD and ship it out so we could get it up and running again 6 years ago. There was a ton of effort to make this happen because no one wanted to see this community go and it continues to be that way
We have far exceeded life expectation of the server. When he asked me to keep "hosting" the server, I didn't want to because its his baby that he share with Nate (Basher) and they honestly did NOT expect EZ to last past T8. Each tier they did they completely blew numbers to a point of ridiculousness and they had serious doubts the server would be able to live beyond that point. There are many technical challenges to consider
I think a lot of people heavily underestimate what it takes to run a server. The burnout, the energy, the longevity of running it year over year, issues, bugs, triaging, new content. Some people can do it well, but so many people get burnt out within a few months and the server barely lasts a year.
I support ProjectEQ which is the vanilla project that every single EQEmulator server is built off of, I host the server and help the team of 10+ do what they need to do to create content which involves tooling; backend support; feature support
I support EQEmulator and lead a lot of efforts and have done so for the latter part of 10+ years now, the amount of time I've invested into not just EZ Server but the community at large is mind blowing. So even if you don't directly play on EZ all the time, you are definitely playing a collective product of the massive open source community we've fostered for a long time
Now, that doesn't take away from the future. I have had the busiest year of my life last year, between COVID, given 6 months to build a new platform at a huge company that we were acquired by, building a house and dealing with all kinds of things in between. I don't expect folks to understand this or have sympathy for this but that's just been my reality. If I had it my way, I would love to work on EZ / EQEmulator full time - but that definitely is not a current reality - but I would like to work towards having time to make dope shit for EZ
Whether or not I directly have time myself, we can borrow on the strength of the community members to keep the spirit of EZ server continuing on. There is no "stronghold" grip here - anyone who is willing, capable and can actually contribute is more than welcome to. You have to keep in mind though that it takes a certain level of ability / talent to be able to build content and do it in a way that doesn't fall completely flat. There's a lot of pressure on anyone who tries to take on the next level of incremental content and challenges that folks don't exactly understand. Anyone who does take them on will see oversight to ensure that things have continuity from the previous tiers
This game isn't going anywhere for the next 10 years, easily
