Empire didn't grief anyone off. Empire was a hell of a lot more open to not griefing other up and coming guilds than I would have even preferred. State of population has no one else to blame expect the Azrael/friends shit crew.

You see this is what I was talking about weeks back in TS.
Said something like "What if Empire actually believes by zerging they are helping the server?" No sense of community, just bodies on bodies.
Then of course we would/will never see change.
State of the server, no ones to blame but the resistance? laughable statement.
Azrael/friends/others with a spine are the only ones that tried/trying to not have two blue p99 servers.
I do feel the server is starting to seem more ghost town-like overall.

Pretty much this. Red has become a blue server with only one raiding guild. Why would anyone want to play a low pop blue server with one guild?

Just curious, if empire is so detrimental to the server then why did you become a member of the guild? It seems like it only became a problem for you after you left.

Azrael was 100x more of a "resistance" than Friends is, although to even say that is pretty laughable, too. It was a bunch of fair weather players that only logged on when uncontested pixels were flowing, but at least Azrael tried every now and then.
Contesting bind points and Lodizal shields for reebz's 6th alt does not constitute a resistance. Friends is not actively trying to contest/steal any easy raid mobs that would affect the pixel flow (LTK/Statue/Dozekar, some NToV pussies) could all be done with 24 or less and they actually matter. But for whatever reason, Salem is: 1) letting some real outstanding guys like tune and vaporize run the guild, 2) has no interest in recruiting anyone who might lower the friends KDR and 3) just doesn't really seem to care about putting up a resistance.
So, I really don't know how you can actually believe that you're the resistance on the server. You're basically Flowers of Happiness that kills phara dar and lives in PoM instead of LGuk.

You got 2 options on the pvp server:
1 - its a raiding alternative to cringefest on-call blue raiding
2 - pvp/grief people
3 - be real casual
Sounds like the server has guilds to fulfill these needs. What it doesn't have is another option of people who are able to even kill the raid targets when they are uncontested. And since no one else can kill them, why bother contesting them? Unless you're just interested in #2 on my list then, yeah its there for ya.

In before "you were in nilly". I joined the server when the pop was rock bottom and the only people left in the oppositions were the griefers (at least when I was active).
I spent my time outside of nilly raids helping new players and try to encourage ppl to stay on this box.
What did I do when nilly collapsed? I helped an alternative guild to help ppl who weren't in a click get by, while pvping with gods work.
Sad to see that nilly's collapse wasnt for the good of the server. It was due to a corrupt staff members greed and due to a group of players that wanted to take over loot decisions who are part of the "shadow leadership" in empire. Eg rhetti, hb, gyno, bert etc.
You saw what happened to Cyren. He was just used to lead raids and got pixel preferences for it, but had no real power over the aimchat core.

Empire prematurely griefed all opposition that didn't willingly become a feeder guild.

You can search the forum history for the "we'll help you get your epic!" strat that brought up the population, vetted players and ran off the griefers who thought it was their time in the sun just by the default of Nihilum getting GM hammered.
When you alienate all the new blood / the rest of the playerbase by being an obvious griefer shitbag... you find yourself rather alone.

I was in GG and TMO trying to offer alternative exp options. Prior to velious you had TMO so griefed that they would literally exp in the bear pits and were bleeding players. Even then you would have ppl bound there that would aggro trains to the entrance to wipe out the group and pick them off when they were CRimg. I watched that shit happen with my own eyes.
You guys did everything to kill off any potential opposition.
Drakaris
01-27-2016, 03:29 PM
And when velious launched you literally had people sit at TMOs bind points for hours, you had over 110 people on raids and kept 2 groups at the temporary guild bind point. Shit was hilarious.
Nirgon
01-27-2016, 03:30 PM
TMO had it in the bag if they took top RA spots and geared up while simultaneously denying other Empire members gear. From there they just needed a reason to cause a rift in the guild and cause a split to take people with them.
But no.
They had to put pride and their blue status before a well laid strat full of common sense. You can't just walk on this server and beat a highly cohesive, well oiled machine that has worked together in a PvP setting head on.
I mean they really had a chance and blew it due to ego. "I guarantee it" :/
Woulda been way more interesting but, alas.
If you think there's people who are super excited about raiding with AoW numbers that don't want a strong alternative, you're very wrong.
Friendly reminder: don't ally with the garbage of the box, do your own thing (they will fuck you over every single opportunity... stepping over dollars to pick up dimes), don't pick a huge fight with the #1 guild until you are ready.

Still trying to re-write history every chance you get? Say it enough times I guess.....
Nihilum/holocaust the same guild. No one sees your point. People want ez pixels, they mass up to do so. Always has been so, always will be so.
Gongshow was in nihilum getting dirt napped sucking nizzars nuts for pixels for years. Nizzar went away, zerg 2.0 reformed with 85% of the same people + 40 new warm bodies like you and other old holo waiting for ez pixels.

Nirgon, they were already bleeding members to empire. When push came to shove the loyalty of those members were empire and they used GG as an excuse. I guarantee if TMO was #1 those players would have gone to TMO.
It's the nature of this box. Pixels attracts players and the top guild uses numbers to subdue the opposition.
If lite recruited the server when azrael was on top they would have won the box indefinitely.

the only time tmo ever had an attempt on new content was statue of rallos zek after <empire> cleared friends out of the zone, which we got to 31% with 22 players (6x sub-60, mostly alts and late night D team) before running out of cleric mana.

Not sure what the politics / strategy behind doing that was.
I think you guys absorbing pandemonium may have pissed ppl off, but all out grief war is a poor strategic choice since the natural reaction would feed into empire upon collapsing.
I can't really comment as I wasn't there but there were a few new croots from the collapse so I'm sure there is another side to this.

i didn't really understand the logic behind it either. from what i understand and have been told by friends in <friends> the motivation was simply butthurt over the tmo leadership's decision to attempt to raid velious on release day instead of killing uncontested kunark dragons. which <friends> was totally right about, but from what i've heard the grudge continued. the pandemonium absorption is when it got really bad though, you're correct. after training us the day we absorbed pandemonium, <friends> core players were telling us in /say and tells that they would grief every single one of our raids until we disbanded. i could probably dig the quotes out of my log file but i don't think anyone on here needs convincing the <friends> core and leadership are scummy as hell (see: vapo trying to petitionquest me for pwning him on a lvl 52 cleric)

I don't know Smedy. I don't think it's dangerous levels of immersion that lead me to believe it was a multitude of variables that caused the server to be in the current state it is in. The least of all being Empire griefing people off.. Empire is simply a guild that since the beginning recruited a velious size raid force to kill the top velious mobs. Nihilum had by far a much more of a competition killing mentality than Empire ever has.
Stasis01
01-27-2016, 05:40 PM
Open a second box that progresses to Velious and then after a year or w/e they merge and two established guilds go at it, then you get a fresh box after awhile and have a new fun box experience/seasons.
Pipe dreaming maybe but no guild will ever contest the #1 neckbeards here with the gear gap that Velious has. Empire could log off and a new guild wouldn't even be able to do what they did for a couple months if not more, plus they'd actually be griefing their progression.
Server looks in real bad shape from a PVP perspective though most people would just look at this shit and not start.
Stasis01
01-27-2016, 05:43 PM
Plus it would give incentive for the BIS players to come back once a year and brawl it out with the new guilds, eventually you'd have multiple geared guilds coming to fight for the merge.

That's just EQ.
i never said i speak for empire? i was just saying "hey i've been to our raids, they're a lot more lax and easy to contest than all the excuses about gear gap on the forums would lead you to believe"
and ya i believe you. most of those players would be untagged friends alts tho.

I'll speak for Empire and say what Xaanka basically said is true. Though j wouldn't categorize it as easy. But its really not that hard. The good players that were part of the resistance never wanted to put in the time to build up a strong enough player base to contest. Empire leaves windows open to compete but no one is willing to out in the effort or show the necessary leadership. Too bad.

How come no one has stepped up to manage a teamspeak full of nerds they've never met, who need their hands held for 10-12 hours a day everyday for months?! All the while having the bulk of said nerds up and leave when they hit 60 because all they really wanted in the first place was to experience velious end game for a couple months then quit.
The only people with any right to call anyone out on the other side are a handful of empire officers that have put that work in. IE not xaanka who auto joined empire after her previous guild failed at doing what she is now calling easy.

that's why i suggested recruiting new, not toxic and invested players off-site. i totally agree, and that's a big reason why <friends> will never recruit and teach new players the game in order to achieve enough numbers to kill their first ntov dragon.

i mean i used to run a leveling guild that was 30-50% of server pop every night at the red server's peak population, that didn't allow any p99 players to join and exclusively recruited off site. it's not as hard as you make it out to be, there are a lot of people out there who are nostalgic for everquest. the only real difference between that and a guild that could contest, would be a universal interest in the endgame which my guild never had.

Anime I think your poop and your posts are extra poopy. Also not reading that shit this thread is dumb more players now than classic and kunark still complaints tho.
To be honest server was more fun with 50 pop corpse camping and exp loss. I would trade 50 blue players on now for one old time red legend to play again...

you're the #1 player my shitposting has rustled by a long shot. ever since the first posts i was making on the forums. you have my post history bookmarked and you keep making this same post at least two or three times a week, consistently since i reg'd the xaanka forums personality. sometimes i question what i'm accomplishing with all my shitposting and then you reply to one of my posts and it makes all the time i've put in to make red rnf unreadable worth it :cool:

I was a 14 hour a day neckbeard on velious launch and I can tell you that it was never <Empires> agenda to grief <TMO> just had to put them in their place after trying to ego thump on the forums. I think the two times TMO fought is we let them Rez one time and go back on their raiding and he second time we even helped them with vindi (Rygrim tanked it for them which was a honor for them to witness) and have the loot. Empire officers knew and agreed that TMO was a needed second option. Any empire camping bind points wasn't under and order from officers and just did it cause it was really stupid to bind in Karl.
Empire tried very hard to grief <Fresh> of the box.
Regardless of the justification, it was a pretty shitty move.

I don't know Smedy. I don't think it's dangerous levels of immersion that lead me to believe it was a multitude of variables that caused the server to be in the current state it is in. The least of all being Empire griefing people off.. Empire is simply a guild that since the beginning recruited a velious size raid force to kill the top velious mobs. Nihilum had by far a much more of a competition killing mentality than Empire ever has.
U really believe this?
U know anytime another guild <Friends> attempts to raid they are trained by a Colgate alt ? That's why he was/is suspended.
Flurry drakes, statue, HoT, Doze etc etc all trained or would be dead
Kid is on anytime day or night living his p99 life terrified of any competition hehe.

So you guys "putting them in their place" isn't grief but us pvping them is?

You ignored the fact that it's only friends that receive any of this treatment. With CScum there's a respect, none of their guys are logging on lvl 50 sks to train AoW raids, hell at least murda used to come at Empire 1v80 on dragons and try to mess em up. Friends has no respect for the box or the community, which is fine, that's how yall want to play, we can make sure you never raid outside of a vindi monthly (lol).

So you only break the rules and train vs the #2 guild <Friends>? ( only guild with a chance at contesting)
The others (which can't even raid end game kunark) you respect by "putting them in their place"? Until they disband/quit
Promoting server health (remember they used to actually say that? Lolz)

Yea, I know the reasons behind it. I just think it was pretty harsh how they went about it.
They didn't just have hit squads roaming from dungeon to dungeon hitting the 50+ guys. They were also logging in lowbie twinks to grief new players in MM and Unrest etc.
I dunno, I thought it was in poor taste.

Any chance of competition must be griefed off or absorbed.
Reason a velious server has double digit pop. GMs should really take notice before server even smaller

No, I never said we trained you guys, you were the one with those false claims. There's literally video of Colgate walking up to one of your raids, not attacking anyone or touching a mob and your raid freaking out and wiping itself. Your guild self destructs, hence why you're never seen in NToV

Oh my god, shut the fuck up
that's the thing though, empire eventually fucked off and <friends> core started showing up to every single one of our raids with all their monks and SK's to train us and such. then <friends> started invading our teamspeak, at first just using it to do things like park on a camped out raid force for 3 hours, but eventually moving on to straight up relaying our teamspeak live into their server (a bunch of friends member admitted to doing this, told me they felt scummy about it etc)
the only time tmo ever had an attempt on new content was statue of rallos zek after <empire> cleared friends out of the zone, which we got to 31% with 22 players (6x sub-60, mostly alts and late night D team) before running out of cleric mana.
source: i attended the most tmo raids out of any player except maybe <friends> core (kek)
