Open Raids?

[Ames]

Does the server ever hold open raids? I'm Curious, As i have never seen one forming on p1999 yet.

There are people that hold open raids, most times they just try to fill it with the ppl that they know from past PuG raids tho, tho from time to time people set them up using the forums.

Blackwater i believe use to host open raids, not sure if they still do or not...i stopped showing up :p

[Aadill]

Blackwater disbanded. :(

[Cruise]

This is an exclusive server. We're elitists. Sorry, no raiding for you.

[Billfrommst1]

Blackwater didnt disband....

There totally used to be a public raid thread on this forum. Lots of replies, too. I dunno what the situation's been lately; my main's only 36.

[Slathar]

Blackwater has disbanded. It is official.

They stopped hosting the public raids. I don't know whether they've truly disbanded. If they did, it's a shame.

Yes, I heard this from a friend but have yet too see a Blackwater member in-game.

Well, what's to stop someone else from hosting open raids, then? Get a coalition of some casual guilds going, yo. I know some LifeAlert members would be down.

A lot of people would be willing but most casual people will give up when they zone in and see 30+ of another guild preparing for a clear.

It has to be hard to do a pickup raid, you have to know when a zone is going to respawn which isnt difficult but you have to convince 20 people to come along when it happens.

Since some guilds are doing planar clears twice a day it makes it pretty hard to compete with guilds that know what mob is going to spawn next before it even pops.

Try it though! I'm sure a lot of people would be wanting to do pickup raids including myself.

i see nymphetamine on right now? LOL

Blackwater did not disband. It was just made up of a lot of people who had things come up and they couldnt login much anymore. A few people including myself left but it's like 3 or 4 tottal who actually left the guild. It's still around and might pickup again, just need something to get them up and going so they log in.

Blackwater didnt back down btw. Beat another guild to Maestro on an open raid, so it can be done with the right people leading.

I'm glad to hear it :)

I hope Kunark coming out creates an influx of old and new players, alike.
