Acctually here is the lowdown with the NPC in question, as I am a Blood Reaver of the Hunters, and I was an Archon at the time we were on Delteria and left I am privy to the information at hand.

Calani created an NPC -tap that could be placed on anyone at anytime that would log any chat, including toguild information and placed it in the logs folder. Anyone with read access to the log folder could then open these logs and review any and all information that individual who was tapped had either chatted or toguild'd or toall'd. At the time Calani was a PWA, new to the crew and was interested in preserving Delteria as it seemed that Spark and houdini(not a dig at either) were interested in pretty much closing the whole server down. Calani designed this NPC (probably with good intentions in mind) to be able to track any potential hacker messages, etc. This NPC was placed on Zeromus and Refino and thier toguilds were (and as far as I know still are) recorded in a log file. These "Taps" were then mailciously used to harass the hunters as well as inform our enemies at the time (Veracity to name but one) of our plans for attacks and other such maneuvers. This was the final straw for us, as most of you can imagine years of torment from staff and players had taken it's toll on our conciousness.

I never saw any such NPC, nor did I ever hear of anyone ever using it. I've asked a few staff members about it, and even asked some of the leaders of guilds at the time. No NPC ever existed, nor could any NPC ever log toalls (they don't ever reach the chatfield). I don't understand all of these references to 'torment,' espically targetted specifically to MHX. The Hunters were undoubtedly the most powerful guild in existence at points in time on Delteria. You had the power to respond to said abuses, and from my experiences and observations, you did so with a vengance. You have no right to say that anyone drove you out of the server. This 'torment,' as you say, is nothing more than schoolyard insults, easily batted away. If you couldn't handle that bit of heat, then you probably were too weak to exist on Delteria.

Previous "abuse" included Tuppers little statues and trees blocking our entrance (Tupper you were the only one I remember by name but I know there were others who did it too.)

I created a table inside your guildhouse, and then removed it. That is all. I have never had any such tree or statue creating NPC.

Antrax liked to warp hunters to different points on the map as well as warp us mysterously to the hell level(not cool, it would do nothing but repeatedly kill you.) Staff and Veracity members blatently recolouring our gfx that members had designed over the years to suit thier needs (if the veracity gh is still up check out those strobe lights as well as the banners, and tell me they were not ripped.)

That was the purpose. In the RP sense of Delteria, after MHX moved out, Veracity took over the building and renovated it to our needs. In fact, the light effect scripts were not even made by a Hunter; the comments in the script say otherwise. We did indeed steal your guildhouse, but only because it was in a state of non-use. Before Tortoise had me take it offline, I had helped him modify it extensively. It had little to no similarity to the MHX guildhouse.

If you can recall, Veracity did not have their distinctive 'Aura' colorings when they came to Delteria initially. The only reason Tortoise ever decided on the color scheme (initially) was to contrast with the stark yellows, reds, and blacks of the Hunter garb. Veracity's purpose in attacking MHX, outside of the roleplaying aspect, was to act as a balancing force. It only made sense that they would recolor your graphics for their own use.

There was the staff who liked to ignore the players and thier wishes (yes I was GP Chief and it led to me quitting) with such comments on RC as "We'll make the server the way we want, the players will just have to deal, we aren't designing this server for the players, I am designing this server for me."

I agree with this. There have been a few arrogant staff members that thankfully are now gone.

All in all, I personally am glad we left, I loved the server when SP Agent was Server Manager, (no, not when SP was on an extended LOA) Back in the days of Maximus at the Helm, Zega, Cloven, SP, and Tangy Poptart backing him up. These are the days of Delteria I loved, not the times where we were battered and bashed down day in and day out. Not the days when wearing Hunter in your name meant you were automatically a laming, hacking *******. These were the days when you were proud to be a Delterian...But alas these days are gone as are the Hunters, if you want us back, sorry, it isn't going to happen. Hell when Zeromus and I were personally involved in negotiations with Sp Agent for our return the staff did nothing more than digitally spit on us. I don't feel as though Delteria has that spark anymore and I don't feel that the server should be resurected because as we all know it will do nothing more than take a nose dive as it has done so many times before.

I hope this little piece of insight from a high ranking hunter helps you to understand why it is we will never return. If it does not then I appologize for taking up so much of your valuable time.

We really don't want nor need you back. Indeed, guilds were a very good source of playercount, and still are. However, just because one guild leaves does not mean another cannot rise. We have several new guilds rising out of the ashes of Veracity and MHX, and with the new overworld\classes, even more people are joining us for a long-term stay. You seem to be placing way too much credit in your own hands. Delteria has had its ups and downs, but MHX is most definitely not the reason for our success. You had a hand in giving us a garunteed 25+ playercount back in the day, but those days are gone.

Wearing Hunter in your name never gave the meaning that you were a lamer\hacker\newbie. It certainly garnered respect from the new players as MHX was, to them, a huge organized guild that appeared to be dominating. It got respect from the other guilds due to their immense power, and from the Staff due to their huge amount of influence in both players and their own staff.

Again, we don't want you back. You make it seem like that we really do want you back, and yet I have seen little to no mention of the guild in the last few weeks. Delteria seems to be carrying on well (even better) without you, even if it is not your fault. I'm sorry to see you so pissed off for such immature and irrelevant reasons, but I suppose that is how it must be.


ANYWAYS, we have begun work on the overworld. I'm busy trying to get the levelgen to cooperate with me, and I'm trying to get a good size for the playerworld. I don't want to make it huge, but too small is also bad. I'm trying to approximate the size of old Delteria, since a few levels will be simply copied and pasted.
