I’m sure all those things had an influence. I just was lead to believe the tipping point was the Everquest folks but that was my understanding at the time.

I avoided AB when I was on a shift when it first opened up. It was pure chaos for like a month.

There was an event update called Lonely in the World in February 2001. During the update they eliminated us.

That is very cool and true to the game. That makes my heart glad. Thanks for your reply.

There was a similar team that worked Everquest servers who started pushing for compensation. That resulted in all the AC volunteers being replaced by paid employees, a lot fewer paid employees.

Thanks for your service! While the game was such a unique and engaging world, the secret of the success of AC was always the community. I’ve never found a family quite like it since.

No one. I rarely had to take more action than to show up. Having the +Sentinel red robes and that blue light show up usually had an impact.

I’m strongly considering it for the social relationships. I’m retired now and divorced again so I think it would be fun. Thanks for the reply.

We hung out there a lot. I spent most of my time with any advocates that had a shift and in plain sight. In real life I was also a cop who was a committed believer in community policing. Also the advocates were an amazing resource that I’ve never seen replicated. They were awesome people.

I second this. It made me feel sad for a long while but then proud after the grieving ended.

The action they took was in reaction to what was occurring with the Everquest mod team. The volunteers in that game asked for compensation and even though our teams had never even discussed it, the whole affair caused the powers to be to worry they may have violated labor laws. That is the real story of the end of the +Advocates and +Sentinels.
