Yup. Really good quest items. Really awfully long time to get them completed. A zone staying true to the name of the game. Everquest.

[Phatez]

We one shot everything except queen bee, which had a 1% wipe. The clear took around 11h from start to finish.

[Zekayy]

Aikons miss you pal <3 come back to blue soon.

How is this even exciting for you guys? May as well just have GM Deathtouch command at this point.

Wonder how many Sky clears you've accomplished since the inception of EQ/P99...dare I ask?

Yikes.

So salty...

Really a dumb comment. Everyone on this server is replicating the same content over and over again. Weather you just dinged level 2 for the 100th time since 1999 or you cleared PoS for the 10th time, it's all relative. There are varying levels of excitement and for different reasons.

[Finesteel]

Denying content is part of competition. Some people are interested in competition.

However, PoS is now rotated. I believe Federation has 5 guilds in total of varying sizes. So including ST, PoS is rotated between 6 guilds. Check yo facts.

[billcrystals]

So did the GMs/server staff just let Seal Team keep all the Summon Corpse scrolls they had been denying/farming for themselves to ensure that P99 remains their personal TLP? Seal Team got to stockpile for weeks and weeks while the rest of the server now has to do a 36 hr /list camp. Hope ST is having fun at least, that's all the matters.

This just doesn’t make sense. Yes ST goes to another level when it comes to dedication compared to the average player, but so does every top guild on every sever on every MMO. They didn’t break any rules. If they have the resources and time to get an edge then let them. The same applies to many facets of life. Those who spend more time, work harder get further ahead. Stop begging for more welfare.

When I was leveling up I remember seeing the same 3-4 enchanters lock down Frenzy for weeks perma farming FBSS. Should the GMs not let those enchanters keep their farmed FBSS? Lol

They forced the GMs to turn Ishva Mal into a list camp because they were exploiting the shit out of it lol.

Denying content so you can be alone after island 3 is not competition. Its called being a dick.

Thats a piss poor analogy “lol”. Frenzy doesnt drop a a key spell that makes a necromancer vital in PoS in order to advance without weeks of farming keys.

ST agreed rotate the content with federation. stop crying.

What, rotate the first two islands? Explain how anyone but Seal Team is getting past there without Summon Corpse.

[billcrystals]

Great microcosm of the server dynamics here,FYI. Good, benevolent Seal Team "allows" the lesser guilds to splash around in the mudpuddles of the first two islands while they're off clearing the rest of their TLP zone that they got by bending the rules exploiting the Ishva Mal camp. The "rotation" is another tool they use to maintain dominance.

[Finesteel]

.... The Federation has copies of the spell Summon Corpse...

[Videri]

Yep, folks, updates:
• GMs made Summon Corpse a /list camp and members several non-<Seal Team> guilds camped some Summon Corpse scrolls
• <Seal Team> and the Federation made an agreement on Sky rotations already
• the Federation (a coalition of guilds) will be starting our first Sky clear attempt at 6pm

So, no worries.

[BenDerisgreat]

Funny how rules dont apply to some.

This pretty much sums it up. Anyone trying to downplay what ST is doing is either astroturfing for them, or in complete denial.

Corpse keys and do a few clears to get your necessary raid force keyed. With a little effort you can keep your original keys for as long as you want to do sky. Summon Corpsing is a luxury and a pain in sky, not a necessity.

For smaller guilds 24 characters should be enough to clear up to KoS.

Maybe instead of whining your guild should have just beat ST to the punch?

Keying won't take weeks for appropriately sized guilds, the problem is that the 'Federation' will have like 250 people in sky and will need 10 clears to key all their people. Maybe it's time for a restructure...

Implying UN guilds don't in general?

Im implying ST does not. How many petitions did it takes for them to forcefully have to release Ishva?

No idea! Probably a bunch.

[7thGate]

I'm confused, if they're rotating sky then summon corpse becomes mostly irrelevant. It matters a lot for the first trip up, afterwhich you have 48 people keyed through on your second attempt. Maybe it takes until your third or fourth try to get a large enough group keyed up to do bees, maybe you can do it with 48. 24 keys per cycle means you will key your entire raid force after a couple days at most if its rotated between two entities.

There are so, so many ridiculous things you can try to choke people out of sky; you can try to set up an inverted timer on the island 2 and 3 bosses and kill them so no island 2 sirran pops, blocking your competition from being able to key to 3. You can try to FTE everything and stop the competition from getting keys that way, Lodi style. If you've got a huge raidforce you can potentially kill Sirran the Lunatic to block the abillity to turn in keys. Someone could have tried to camp the vendor for sky stones/alter plane:sky to hold sky access ransom. Like....there's a LOT of nonsense that could have gone down, and a rotation agreed on by day 1 is incredibly civilized compared to what could have been.

[zags]

Instead of doing any of the above, Seal Team cleared Sky during their rotation, then helped Kingdom out by keying one of their clerics up to 4 so that they could progress significantly faster.

Assholes.

All true. When I was in guilds doing Sky on blue Summon Corpse was mostly used to recover leftover corpses stuck on higher islands when somebody LD'd or caught wife agro waiting on a rez or if the clerics & necros all derped during a wipe (shit happens in casual guilds, lol).

Just put every raid mob on a fixed 8 hour timer and everyone will get along.
