Default Public Open raids

Hey everybody, I was just curious if any guilds or people ever hold public PoF/PoH or even Naggy/Vox raids on this server?

While I do remember in live how they often would end up being a gigantic clusterfuck I still had fun going on them. Also, my main on this server just hit 50 and now I have a desire to get some sweet gear but my guild (which I don't plan on leaving) is nowhere near being ready to do a full on raid yet.

So if anybody has any advice for me or knows of any open PoF/PoH raids let me know please. And if they don't happen at all here then I hope the release of Kunark w/ its increased level cap and slew of new targets will open up the opportunity for people not in high end guilds to take a crack at raiding.

I don't think anyone here would do that. The raiding scene is far too competitive, and there's way too little content for the raid guilds themselves. You have like five or more guilds basically competing over Hate, Fear, Air and the two dragons. It's possible that people will/do run pick-up raids for plane trash that drops the armor sets, but anything named and worthwhile is pretty much locked down.

Yeah, I could see this as a possibility later after Kunark has been out for a while, maybe...

I remember Xegony doing open raids when raiding just started back in the day. They ere fun. I also remember all the troubles associated with them. On here? I doubt it.

Everyone here prolly knows that the cons of open raids far out weigh the pros.

Could be fun provided you start small. You really don't want to start with something like one of the dragons. As long as you lay down the rules and have an ounce of organisational skills it should be fine.

Also, I recommend making them a regularly scheduled time that people can come to expect. Take what RKromwell said as well-- don't aim for the big guns. Start small and work small.

Casual players will be drawn in by the lure of upgraded equipment that they wouldn't get otherwise.

i use to see some people advertising hate raids and any level 46+'s could join....this was like a month or two ago when i came back from my break.


but yeah i remember watching vox chase down noobs in perma, zone in area was literally a graveyard with 50 or 60 corpses, people just spawn rushing her at ZL because all the high levels were doing other shit....it was pretty damn hilarious, lasted 30minutes until some guild decided to come in and kill her..


good ol mith marr
