    Default LFM misuse

    To the person leaving their LFM up with a full party, going so far as to write "we are full" in the notes --
    take it down already. Yes, you have a great group, all TR and geared up. No, we don't need to read this notice when we're actually looking for groups to join.
    There's a reason the LFM is, by default, taken down when your party fills.

    How exactly do you think they are deliberately leaving up a full group? Check your attitude, you are in the wrong here.

    There is a bug that sometimes stops people from taking down their LFMs when full.

    They way to get around that bug when it happens is to pass the star which drops the LFM, but some don't know this.

    I think that because I asked him to uncheck the box marked "advertise as looking for more players".
    Response: "it's up so if a friend wants to join I'll save him a spot in case someone drops"
    me: "your friends have no other ways of contacting you?"
    him: "it's the best way to see what I'm doing"

    Is it Ironic that someone named Mister Peace is starting a rant about a trivial issue such as this?

    Perhaps I have been spending too much time in Khyber ...

    Let me know when an Irian server is created.

    Thank you for bringing to our attenting the blatent misuse of one function of the game, which is affecting the greater playerbase of their ability to play the game to it's fullest potential.

    I can now proced with gathering information regarding this issue from all the other people you have mentioned that have been affected by this misuse so i can supply an informative report to the Moderators of the game so that we have have these people removed from the obvious breaking on the EULA.

    I will advise via PM once this has been carried out for your peice of mind so that you know that your actions have improved the gameplay for the many residents of the Khyber server.

    Default Leader set to Raid group in error

    The reason this happens most commonly is because the leader has accidentally set the party to be a Raid group.

    You can toggle between Raid and regular party by right-clicking the party list on your desk top (same as if you are leaving a party or removing a member) and selecting the correct choice.

    You cannot check the Advertise for More players box if you have a full party, and are not set to be a Raid group.

    This is incorrect.

    Why would you care if people keep their LFM anyways. Sometimes people have a good reason to why they do that and even if they don't it's not that big of a deal....

    I sometimes put up the LFM again when the LFM is full so i can mouse over it to check my members locations.
    Much easier than finding them on the "Who" list one by one, and also if they're anonymous i can see where they are as well.

    When DDO is legal there and not likely to get the server admin shot, im sure Turbine will consider launching a server there, then laugh at the stupid idea and block your IPs anyway.

    If you see less than 12 people in the group and it says full... generally that means the spot is filled but they are waiting for that person.. The easiest way for the person to join is to just click the LFM when ready. It has nothing to do with uberness or bragging about a TRed party, it's about making it easy for the people you are waiting on to join.

    Iran. Where Internet access is now being heavily monitored and anywhere you gain access to open and free speech is considered illegal and getting firewalled. Like here. Where I can freely post my opinion.

    Also, DDO is an American Product, DnD is devil worship, and that also makes this game a big no no.

    This isn't racism, this is a stated fact.

    One more thing, Iran should not be doing business with Turbine, as right now, theres a trade embargo in place prohibiting it completely.
