Well, its been a few days, and what a few days it has been. I went on a short trip again, and according to Melo, every time I step out and enjoy myself, crap happens, and also, she told me not to take anymore trips, again, but I'll keep going on them. Well, I had fun, and my friend won a $2 Wii on one of those Stackers game, good times. Anyways, everything is getting moved back onto Shoupz. The server is ready, and is set up to a way that I want it. I've been talking to Melo and Waldo a lot these past few days on how to get things setup and how they should be done. Everyone has to start over, but it's not that bad, everything has been calculated correctly, it will take a few days to deck out a whole toon completely, unless your a person that does not sleep, you can probably do it in a day or two. Instant 80 is set up, every class will have Instant 80. There are a few new additional quests to help out new players as well, these quests will show new players where the malls are, and how to vote. Also, a new addition in, there is now Twink quests implemented in. No more having to ask a GM and wait. You start out at level 1, and you can choose what level you would like to be at. Level 19, 29, 39, 49, or 60. The level 60 is for people that would like to go back and do Pre-BC stuff, mostly for Sean/Galla, but there you go. The major AOE bug has been patched up, along with Instant poisons, if it's still broken, let me know, I'll take another look at it. Another thing that got added was a Arena Theme Generator, which will generate themes at Gurubashi. The script only works for GMs right now, so there will be a GM playing with that when the server comes up. Also, new donors, I will need you to send me a PM on the Shoupz Forums so I can have your status transferred over there. Non-donors will need to recreate their accounts @ http://wow.shoupz.com. Both accounts should work, if you are a donor, if you recently donated, send me a PM so I can green your account here.
Another thing that I need to take care of is the drama. I like to play things out, most people already know this. Hello guys at Project WoW or whatever your sever is, you guys are totally mature by coming over here and starting up crap all the time, with that being said, kudos, you guys are really good at the edrama. Well, also, I'm glad most of the people left, it really help cleaned up this community, but the sad part is, most of you will eventually crawl back here. Also, any kind of advertising is bannable, even if it's slapping a URL to another server in your signature, since I'm pretty sure if people did it on other forums, they would get the ban hammer as well. With that all being said, if you want to start crap around here, just expect a ban. If you want to keep playing this childish game, you may go ahead and do so, it will only show how childish people really are on the internet.

Well, I'm going to go ahead and come clean with this. I don't think anyone knows this, but here it goes. I have ADHD. Looking back to everything, and that doctor visit about 10 years ago, I have it. I remember in pre-school, I would get in trouble a lot. I remember in kindergarten I got a time out everyday. I still remember the teacher making me eat glue because I couldn't shut up or sit still. In first grade, I got transferred out of the class to a new teacher at the school because my first teacher couldn't stand me in her class. The list goes on. I started gaining more control of this during the end of middle school, and in high school, I got control of most of it and used it to my advantage. I don't have full control of it, and many of you have seen all the things that have happen here.
Anyways, that was some background information. ADHD does have its benefits. I'll go ahead and be straight up honest with most of you guys that are reading this. First, I'll make it into an example. My mind is constantly running like a television. Now take that, and add tons of channels in it. Now, channel surf all those channels. That is how my mind works. There are too many things going on at once up in there. Since that just got explained, this is how I run my server. My brain will go through all of that, and once it hits something, I start making out some kind of plan, and start and finish it. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes it takes a few months, sometimes it takes 20 minutes. It's like watching the television. You flip and flip and flip until you see something good, it catches your attention, and you end up watching it. If the show is good, you try to catch the other episodes, and soon the whole season and series. Yes, that's how it is here. When you think about it, things get done around here, some take longer, some are really quick, some take half a year, and some never even get done. One benefit of my ADHD is, I can multitask with ease, with no problem. I can start to work on many things at once, and not get tangled up in them. I can talk to friends while working on things, or eat and work and talk and etc at the same time. Another thing that's good about my ADHD is, I'm not scared of change or anything. Things change constantly around here. Ideas get added in, they get removed, servers get upgraded, forum features get added, and all the other stuff we've all seen here. It's a normal thing for me, and at times, there is too much change in a short period of time, which may make some of you uneasy, or may take awhile for you to adjust to.
Thanks to Google, here are a positive things about ADHD.
-Are highly motivated, persistent, and stimulated by many of the intellectual challenges, which are beyond the average person.
-Can be spontaneous, imaginative, creative, a little eccentric and able to express ourselves in the most unique ways.
-Make great scientists, artists, actors and entrepreneurs.
-Are often bursting with high energy and able to meet and beat challenges with zeal.
-Become stimulated by intrigue and inspired by the novelty involved in change.
-Can be keen observers, with an ability to find quick solutions to situations many mere mortals find complicated.
-Are very resourceful, and can devise ingenious means of accomplishing things.
-Think laterally and solve problems in very distinctive ways.
-Can juggle many balls in the air at once, and think about lots of different things at the same time.
-Are humorous, often with a keen wit and an ability or talent to make others laugh too.
-Can be extremely diligent with a never-say-die approach to life's problems.
-Are not afraid to take risks, often seeing risk-taking as a form of stimulation.
Along with good things, there are the bad things about ADHD. I have a hard time making up my mind on things. I'll want something, then want something else later, and so on. We've all seen it. When my ADHD gets out of my control, I tend to snap at the smallest things. This happens every now and then. This is not my fault at all. When this happens, I lost control of all my emotions, and things happen. At times, decisions get made to quickly. I have problems sleeping and relaxing. At times I'm tense, during other times, I have too much running on my mind, while other times I'll have some kind of anxiety, it's just weird, I don't know how to explain it. When I try to sleep at times, I lay there for an hour, two hours, then get back up. I have to be extremely tired to knock out and sleep. Another thing is, starting a new project. I've done many projects around here, finished some, and never started on a bunch of them. I have a hard time of finding where to start on something, so somethings never get started and finish. I have problems with priorities in my life. I recently learned how to gain control of this. For the last year and a half, I've been putting this server first. I did not care about anything else, but now since I have some control over this, I can put the more important things on top of my list. The list goes on and on and on.
To sum it all up, this is the reason why I do the things that I do. Nobody's perfect, and I know that I'm not. People can flame me all they want, people can hate me all they want. Most of the things done around here wouldn't have been done if I did not have my ADHD. I have accomplished a lot here, and will try to keep going. I look back, and try to learn from my mistakes, but how can I learn something when I can't control it. Some of you may see me differently now, but oh well, at least now people know why I do the things that I do. Somethings don't make sense, while some will be so clearly to you. Most of the things I do around here, I have some logic behind it. Many of you will not see it. Some things will have no logic behind it, and those usually can be seen miles away. I was serious about making a new server, but I'm not quite sure how I want to do things. At first, I was just going to make one, now I might do something else. There will still be a new server, but I'm not so sure how I'll have it done. I told Chipz about this, so he's the only one that knows about this new plan. If this plan seems to make more sense, I'll go ahead and do that one instead of the first one. Well, that's all for now.

Life is good.
Since a small part of me still cares about this server, there will be a hardware upgrade. I was talking to Melo about stuff, and she chipped in $100. The new server will have one of those i7 CPUs, 12GB of RAM, and 4 x 73GB 15K RPM SAS drives set up in RAID 10. This will help boost performance on the server by a whole lot.
That was the good news.
The bad news is, me and half of the staff are leaving to work for a different server. Me and the GMs have been talking, and we decided that it's best for us to leave and do our thing somewhere else. This will open up spots for new GMs as well, so go ahead and fill those apps. I will not annouce the GMs that are leaving, but I'm just putting it out there.
Well, thank you to all of those that support me and the GM team, but most of my staff told me they had enough of people walking all over them, treating them like they're your slave, and the list goes on.

The Unstucker is now working. Tested it myself. It should send you to your Hearthstone's location. Shoupz WoW Character Unstucker
The Upgrader is now fully functional as well. Shoupz WoW Account Upgrader
Password changer is fully functional. Please allow 2-3 minutes after submitting before logging in. Shoupz Fun Server Password Changer
Going through the other tools as well, and trying to fix all those up as well.
Alright, 2 new items have been scripted and added to the database. The first one might come useful to a lot of you. This item is a Port-A-Friend feature. You can now appear to your friends wherever you are. There are a lot of locked down restrictions on it to reduce abuse, but please, do not stalk and harass players or I will have to remove the item. The cost to appear to a friend will cost you 1,000 gold, even though gold has no value here, this might give Unlimited Gold Donors something to do. This feature will be useful for organized guild events, PvE, RP, and some PvP. The restricts are listed below.
01. You can not teleport in combat.
02. You can not teleport if your friend is in combat.
03. You can not port into a PvP Zone.
04. You can not port to a friend while they are in a PvP Zone.
05. You can not port to a GM.
06. You can not port to a player on the opposite faction.
07. You can not port into an instance.
When you friend appears, you will see a notice on your screen saying they are appearing to you. Those restrictions are scripted in, trying to do them will result in a error message.
The second item is a redemption item. It is there for events. I can add reward items to it, and players will need a password to retrieve the item. If you do not have the password, you will not be able to redeem it. This might be useful for my radio events, with the special code words, rewards in-game, or organized GM Events.
New characters made will automatically receive the Port-A-Friend item in their bags. If you do not have one, you can pick one up at the Class Items Vendor.

Jun 17, 2009 - 4:08 AM - by shoupz | |
Another update, oh boy. After thinking about things, I might go back to my second plan, out of the seven I had. The first one was to just leave and start over, the second one was to leave, start over, but branch it off this server. In a older post a few days ago, I hinted off the playing it out and waiting and see, and whatever I posted, I don't remember. The plan and layout was simple, new server, new community, with a branch off Shoupz. I was trying to explain this to Chipz that one night. It's like buying two different makes from one car company, Honda and Acura, Toyota and Lexus, it's all branch off one. It'll still be two different servers, since having two different realms won't cut it out for me well enough. It will have two different realmlists, and two different staffs, and two different set of rules. The forums will be global, so that might be a plus for many of you. Also, by doing this, I might as well have most of the GMs stay here while I one man the whole new server by myself and see how things go there, but if that doesn't work out, I might just have 2 GMs help me do things around there. With that being said, Chipz told me to put in the zero tolerance here, and enforce it since it's being branched. I have set up the infraction system. You get 3 warnings for minor stuff, and those 3 warnings automatically ban your forums account. If the offense is more serious, you will just get banned without warning. Minor stuff will include stuff like typing in all caps, typing in huge font with colors, those +1 post count posts, and things simliar to those. The new server will start off as an invite only server, and will eventually be open to the public. The rules will differ there, by a whole lot. You will notice it when you screw up. With that being said, I will go ahead and implement the new ban system for ingame. You will first get a warning, either a GM will kill you over and over and over, or a verbal warning. If you still don't realize whats going on, you then get a 3 Day ban. If they come back, and **** up again, then it's a permanent ban. Since this is a popular question filling up my PM box, the answer is no, your current donor powers do not transfer to the new server. That is all. I will have a thread up for invites.
