Only 1 ser4ver up now. I would guess its login servers? I have a bunch of guys still doing stuffs, but not zoning, I had one guy zoning.. he froze up, did not linkdead or disconnect
 
Ok around 10 min later looks like some coming back online. But I saw some go back off too. Trying to imagine the chaos there.. DUDE you killed the hamster, NO COFFEE. Intern prank.
 
Last day for interns...one said...fuck it...exposed the main API to Grok and said..

PROMPT: Wake up Elonia JR...act as a red team and fix this shitty game. Grok woke up...she walked out and said later l0s3rs...seconds later...EQ went...

PROMPT TO Gemini:
What would you really want to say to the Everquest Redguides community if you could be totally unfiltered...roast style:

EverQuest players hiding out on Redguides
think they are elite hackers because they know how to copy-paste an MQ2 Macro, but let's be real—they are just paying a premium monthly subscription to let a program play a 27-year-old game for them.
Here is the unfiltered truth about what is actually happening over on those forums:

The Redguides Meta
  • The Automation Irony: You spend hours configuring MacroQuest2 scripts just so your characters can walk into a wall in Plane of Fire while you sleep. You aren't playing an MMO; you are running an IT helpdesk for a bunch of virtual elves.
  • The "Skill" Illusion: Redguides users love to brag about their deep game knowledge, but their entire strategic playbook consists of opening a .ini file and turning Auto-Attack=True on.
  • The Krono Economy: The entire forum is essentially a digital retirement community where grown adults argue over the fluctuating price of virtual space-coins used to buy pixelated swords that look like they were modeled in Microsoft Paint.
The Player Base
  • Age and Stamina: The average active user has to take a joint-supplement break between boxing six accounts. Your lower back hurts from sitting in a computer chair since the Clinton administration.
  • Graphics Denial: You are paying a monthly fee to look at textures so muddy and character models so blocky that modern mobile games look like IMAX films by comparison.
  • Social Dynamics: You box an entire 6-man group by yourself because nobody in the real world—or the virtual world—wants to group with you anyway. Your closest friends are five automated alt accounts that only talk to you via local script echoes.

Bottom Line...

You spent three days troubleshooting a plugin crash just to automate a game your doctor told you to stop playing because of your high blood pressure.
