I came from Tunare in 99... we had a few guilds, but open raids ruled for the most part. And yes I'm talking old school nag, vox, fear, then hate etc..even efreet and king.. Wondering if this server has that kind of vibe where open raids do high end stuff also..

You will be disappointed here. There are a large number of players concentrated at lvl 50 and 2 major guilds (DA + IB) who poopsock raid mobs (IE camp them 24 hours a day). It's basically locked.
They don't really clear plane trash so you can get some nice pieces of gear from that.

ah, yeah I wish I had joined this earlier and been at the forefront of server firsts again... alas. But who knows maybe in a few months, things will have unlocked some:) Thanks for the info though guys, looking forward to getting back to the planes for sure:)

Yea, hopefully this'll change a little bit in kunark/velious when there are more raid targets to be had, so maybe some of the non hardcore raiding guilds will have more chances at stuff.

Yeah, what I was thinking. I liked Tunare because while there were guilds , and they did raid, the open raids made it much tighter and more open of a community...I hated how EQ turned into private raids/pocket instances, no one interacted... ah well. This server should have a good community being comprised of the people who understand what pain and suffering were from playing back then:) That and we all are more mature now... lol

Yea shaere, these people dont seem to believe me that Tunare had a very open raiding community untill Velious. Coming here and seeing the retarded guild drama is just a shame and people claimed its how it was on their servers. I guess we were just spoiled with a mature and fun community in the early days.
Ive kinda stopped playing the server, for now, because of the fact of how the raiding scene is and havnt apped to any guilds because of it either. Maybe once Kunark comes out things will smooth out a little more but seeing how ignorant and arrogant these players are, I have my doubts. Ill probably just race to 60, get my epic and quit again till Velious.

This server doesn't have to many open raids, however <DOOM> Is leading public raids about 3- 4 times a week late night to help promote <DOOM> untill our main raid roster is filled. We post Times in the guild section. Some of these raids are drive bys meaning unplanned , because lots of stuff is never up. However , we are leading 1 - 2 Raids Scheduled <<< A week , the rest are all drive bys. If you would like to attend please contact someone in <DOOM> or myself for more info. We plan to bring the public raiding to this server and have it live on.
Thanks,
Vangorr <Leader> of <DOOM>

Damn that does kinda suck because you were always super hardcore! As someone who put forth so much effort into the server community from my perspective (which is mostly lurking on the boards) there is no doubt in my mind the maturity of the server will be hurting even more without your presence.

Well Phallax, you would think even if you started playing at a young age, you'd be in your 20s now! So I dont understand, never did understand guild drama. Loot comes and goes, and every new expansion changes things.... people that played before know! I guess we were lucky, cuz we had drama too...but no super guilds, perhaps because of the open raids taking down gods and dragons too?
But yeah, you should hang with Vordan Durg and I, we figure to lvl up, and by time Kunark hits be doing stuff in 50's 60's, should be more open then!
And hopefully we will bring open raiding back to the forefront, or keep it there after DOOM gets it rolling!

If you're looking to lead open raids, you may want to ask this guy for advice:

Going to be doing this again , probably sooner then you think. Fun times.
We had DA, IB , Eminence, Europa , Remedy, Dutchmasters , Sapientia , Flaming Gaze and many more during these. Good times.
One of the best ones was the 10 bps in one night. No Joke ask Swishahouse , or the people that were there that night was insane loot night for us. Prob best pub raid as far loot goes.

About 7-8 months ago. Took a 6.5 month break from game. Not sure what your trying to say here. However , this was back in the day of leading constant public raiding. Not so much back in the day of the servers life. Troll harder please.

Things being on lockdown is a bummer but what can you do? This server is a little too good it seems.

Open raids will come. Atm there's not much raid content, and as little as it is, it doesn't take more than 2-3 raid guilds competing to completely empty it out. In kunark you'll have open vox and naggy raids for sure, and also venril raids after a little while.
