TMO declares Gorenaire an endangered species!

[Tiggles]

UPDATE: GORENAIRE HAS BEEN SLAIN BY THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF THE SERVER, CONGRATS TO ALL INVOLVED, AS OF 4/3/12 GORENAIRE IS NO LONGER AN ENDANGERED SPECIES DRAGON.

Hello!

I want to share with the server TMO's new exciting conservation program!

Once a week we will be leaving a Kunark Raid mob* up and will not be slaying it.

We encourage any other guilds** Pugs or Coalitions to attempt and slay these baddies and collect the loot with in.

This weeks mob is Gorenaire (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=5034) she has been up for close to 12 hours and we have already heard of some solid attempts on her by BDA and Taken good job!

Anyways keep it up we hope that this does not cause any drama and we can continue to do it.***

*We are still kinda mad at VD and may race them to any uncontested mob
** Mobs are chosen by Officer discretion and may change with out announcement
***TMO reserves the right to cancel this promotion as they see fit with out due compensation.

[SyanideGas]

Solid deal!

[Versus]

Can we make it Gore every week?

[Writ3r]

This is the type of thing i can get behind... if TMO sticks to doing this and maybe includes a classic raid mob or two with it later on (given this particular ideal continues to work out), all the better for progress of the server being fun.

[Huddaan]

Now this sounds like an awesome idea and a great way to help out us little guys! TMO went up a level in my book.

Lets Try and be civil this is a serious post.


Harrison, VD guys, I will make a RnF post later about this topic so you can shit that up as per normal leave this one alone its for the rest of the server.

[Supaskillz]

I will say this is pretty cool of TMO, and being in a more casual guild love the opportunity to get a shot at it without forcing everyone to be ready in a 5 minute window.

We made an attempt this afternoon, but Gore is in my view the hardest kunark dragon and it quite tough for us especially since many of our members did not make resist gear a priority. That said we learned some things and it was a good time.

I wont scoff at this. They do not have to give us anything.

[Nips]

i think its nice of you guys to leave up a dragon for one of the regular non competing guilds to kill, by why gorenaire? shes the hardest of the dragons and drops the shittiest of loots. why not start with sev or talendor or something?

[Ssleeve]

Sounds like you answered your own question.

[Lazortag]

This was nice of TMO, I think Gore is an ideal mob to choose because it's not very valued to the top guilds and it is a new challenge for the smaller guilds (at peak hours any of the casual guilds could kill Sev or Tal, but Gore is a different story). I think it's silly to ask them why they didn't offer anything better, Gore is fine :)

Just thought up the idea today and that was what was up. We were otw to kill gore and saw bda there so decided to go play in vp instead

[Harrison]

it's more than your guild got in the last month...

This is the guy who argued with Amelinda that they should be allowed to exploit in VP because it's not supposed to have GM interference.

Proof is in my signature. I don't need to make things up, it's all there.

[Fazlazen]

more lucky then exploit.

[Lazortag]

Who got Gore in the end, and what phat lewts did she drop?

[Stealin Dragons]

Give a starving man a hamburger and he complains it didn't come with cheese.

P99 is full of surprises.

[Supaskillz]

I think it may still be up

[Dravingar]

This just in, no one has gave a shit about gore for the last 6 months. Noble thing to do TMO.

[Paumad]

This just in, I can't kill Gore on Eqmac yet and am very mad.

PS: Tig, I'm sorry I trolled in your thread, I really tried.

[fischsemmel]

This just in, no one has gave a shit about gore for the last 6 months. Noble thing to do TMO.

Pretty sure the dude who wins a RBB or DHB when Gore does die will not be complaining that TMO left her up.

[Lazortag]

I think it may still be up

I was told otherwise. Confirm/Deny anyone?

[fischsemmel]

I was told otherwise. Confirm/Deny anyone?

Gore was up as of ~2 hours ago, and there was no force in the zone to kill her at the time.

[Rais]

Confirmed Gore is up and being kited atm to drain her mana.

[Arteker]

Gore is the hardest dragon in outside kunark?. yes its but nothing stop other guilds to figth for it or form a alliance to get it .

People ahs been bitching about the raid scene for MONTHS . Now there is a real challange at ur doors and TMO is willing to give it up to see if some guild or guilds make a effort to figth and WIN her loot.


But instead of see armys gathering in DL to slay the dragon , i saw a bunch of whinners sons of jerry springer ( that goes for u harrypoyas) doing what they have been doing for months . nada but bitch in forums.

[Tiggles]

Who got her?

[AenarieFenninRo]

She's still up... chillin by the tunnel

[Tiggles]

Last update before i go to bed

Gore is still up and wondering the tunnel

[Dravingar]

Pretty sure the dude who wins a RBB or DHB when Gore does die will not be complaining that TMO left her up.

Pretty sure the dude who buys a DHB for 9k will be stoked and RBB....not a single person would ever care about that shithole belt, rog or ranger will have epic and well, warrior should have sky belt or something not as scrubby.

Also, it's not a show of goodwill when you have zero competition left on the server.

[Seaweedpimp]

see sig failingar

[Dravingar]

I see your sig, but I raise you the whole history of the server.

[Quizy]

I see your sig, but I raise you the whole history of the server.

Sad to see someone so angry still...

and about people reselling the items and what they should have ? come on.. RBB and DHB would be great updrages to alot of people in TMO / VD as well still let alone other guilds that dont have as many geared numbers in the end..

It's not really a suprise to see an angry IB/TR person still raging after they had to walk away with their tail between their legs.

on topic:

I can't wait to see what the server can put together to kill raid targets given the chance and i really think the officers in TMO are doing the right thing giving up some of our regular raid targets for the good of the server..

Can't wait to hear how she gets downed and by who!!! keep it coming!

[Quizy]

DHB for 9k? lulz. i was quoted 100k by someone the other day!

what planet are you living on?

lol thats what im saying.. sign me up for a dozen at that price!

In summary.......waaaaaaaaaah.

1. Stop quoting Harrison and his clones, he's on ignore for a reason. I'm going to have to start ignoring his quoters, I think he's that ignorant.
2. Dravingar is second in command to Harrison. Posts useless/inaccurate shit on a daily basis.
3. TMO sucks. I can't believe I joined this damn guild 12 years ago.
4. I'm diamond hard.

[Xeliso]

100% he meant DBB, oh well!

[arsenalpow]

the majority of level 60s on this server are in TMO (doesn't care) and VD (hiatus)

BDA made a few attempts but since we're we have mostly a casual playerbase our DPS wasn't plentiful enough (we didn't have enough 60s) we couldn't get it done

maybe BDA+Taken+Div only 55+ players could make a run at it but her fear is pretty brutal for anyone that doesn't have the levels or gear to handle it

she's easily the hardest dragon around aside from the stuff in VP

[peoplestillplayp1999?]

Lol effort to post raid target is up and nobody but TMO really cares.

Nothing wrong with allowing guilds to organize for multiple attempts on Gorenaire. In lieu (instead) of killing Gore to ensure that loot is distributed to whomever is present at TMO's mobilization time, why not provide support in the form of buffs and rezzes to the players who are motivated to participate in a dragon kill on this server?

Let's break down these attempts in the thread. In an earlier post, a BDA player said dps was lacking - would you attribute this to lack of damage classes or was Gore's fear incapacitating many of your players in aggro range?

Also, while I can't speak for Vesica Dei as a whole, we definitely have sympathetic players online and willing to assist where needed. Don't be shy in asking for help from anyone, regardless of guild affiliation.

[arsenalpow]

we were lacking high level DPS for the fight, clerics and tanks were fine, i think at any given time we had 1 60 monk and 2 60 rogues, maybe had 32 people at our max attempt with maybe 12 or so being 55+

we knew it wasn't going to be the best attempt

I would get divinity to assist you guys tbh


Also im testing the waters in guild to leave a random trakanon up. We just need to figure out how to stop vd from camping out at ledge for him.

It's easy to send a /tell to anyone in Vesica. It's not like you're unaware of the who our officers are, considering you seem to be pretty active on our private forums.

Communication would be a good start - here's a temple you could use
"hey, TMO is interested in giving GUILDNAME a chance at Trak. Could you guys cooperate with us in not engaging while GUILDNAME makes their attempts on DATE?

[Stealin Dragons]

just tell us when you want to leave a trak up for the other guilds and we'll honour that no problems

or you could just leave a trak up anytime in the next week since we arent raiding! /bonk

We offered to send a few players to assist, but were turned down as they wanted to do Gore themselves. Which is totally cool.

You guys should be fine as long as you have a majority at 59+ with MR gear. She is really just a resist check

[SavageHenry]

I would get divinity to assist you guys tbh

Tried to but they were doing a scheduled Sky raid. Thinking Monday we'll all try this again if BDA wants help and you guys will leave her up til then :)

[arsenalpow]

ya that's our primary issue, our levels just aren't where they need to be - the trials and tribulations of a casual guild

[Supaskillz]

The problem with out attempt was that we ended up trying to 4 man her with a 60 rogue 60 monk 60 warrior 60 cleric who actually had resist gear. The most of the rest were getting crushed very quickly by both the fear and the cold AE(for reasons of both levels and resists gear as mentioned before). I think this has given many of our members more inclination to pick up the resist gear.

I also think moment of panic on first dragon attempt might have made for some mistakes on the staff of runes usage and things of that nature, but its our guilds first shot at a dragon other than faydedar or ragefire, which lets be honest hardly count compared to the likes of Gorenaire.

All in all was fun despite the loss. Also I will say this is quite insulting and I hope was directed at the forum trolls and not our guild:


Would you guys perfer if we killed the dragon for you and left you the the loot?

[Lazortag]

I'm busy all day but otherwise I'd have logged on to help/persuaded my guild to help.

[quido]

Thank you, Tiggles, for leaving Gorenaire up for other guilds to try. It was very noble of you to decide that TMO wasn't going to kill this one and to allow other guilds to have a shot. You are a great and generous man.

On a more serious note, where did the handful of non-TMO/VD/IB people go that were claiming that anybody could kill anything if they didn't have to race us to it and could take their time on the engage?

Who claimed that? I don't speak for my guild but I doubt we could kill Gore alone with our usual numbers. Possibly not Trak either. Any other mob? Yeah. There's no need to be rude about it.

Harrison, most of us have already seen those screenys quite a few times by now. We get it. Why do you have to shit up a productive thread that is in the interest of bettering our server?

Even if you don't agree with TMO's past actions, this "conservation" thing is a great idea. Gives us more casual players a chance to experience new content without gigantic amounts of stress involved. Gorenaire is a big first step, but it at least gave me perspective on the type of gear we need to be aiming for (lots and lots of resists).

Please don't fuck over a good thing, Harrison.

Let's just hope this sticks and doesn't turn into... well since it took so long to kill it we aren't going to give up any other dragons (due to the fact they presented the hardest one first kind of suggests a hidden motive?).

How about you stop with the conspiracy theories and just be happy that this sort of thing on P99 is helping to promote other guilds to get into raiding.

You can't really blame him for being suspicious. TMO has some history of subversive behavior and this current benevolence appears to be motivated at least minimally by a desire to taunt VD.

Honestly, EQ has always been a playground for those who fancy themselves social engineers, and there are a lot of those folks on P99. It's bound to happen in a game with such a huge requisite time investment.

Look kids, don't get so defensive. All I said was that TMO has a history of subversive behavior. There's really no denying that. To blindly trust their or anyone's rhetoric without examining the potential ramifications of their actual actions is pretty naive, guy.

Do I need to applaud TMO for tossing the server a scrap? Well huzzah, duders. A single act of benevolence doesn't just instantly make me forget prior cruel tendencies, though. And before anyone suggests it: I'm not IB, I'm not guilded; I never have been.

I do think it's a neat idea, but when the idea is delivered to the forum by a guild's chief propaganda officer I am skeptical. Simple as that and no reason to be mad bro.

[Alarti0001]

What's so funny?

Did you catch a glimpse of your penis in the mirror or something?

your unsupported assertions....which are even more by your open hostility in this post. Seems TMO isnt the problem..... it is people like you =)

While I was writing this you posted another hostile thread instead of explaining yourself. TMO hasn't been subversive you just post unsupported assertions and claim they are fact.

Your attitude makes it fairly clear why you aren't guilded.

I apologize if you feel threatened by my tone. I'm not nice, I know.

I think I've explained myself adequately, too. If there's something you're failing to understand I'm not obligated to hold your grimy baby hand and guide you through it and I don't need to link proof. Just search Tiggles' posts. Sorry bud, your friends are not trustworthy.

Look, I play five or six hours a week, maybe. I take breaks that last months, because I just forget to log on. Sometimes my mule will sit in the tunnel all day, but that hardly counts as playing because in the real world I'm mostly just working or playing with my balls. I suppose my attitude does make clear why I'm not guilded though, because my attitude is that I play P99 too casually to even hint to others they can rely on me.

We had already given up Gore before Tiggle's posted it.

He just made it public to everyone instead of a few guilds.

Cant be helped, even though he hardly plays, he trolls ours forums and post stuff up here without consent, but its free speech so we let em do what they want.

Make no mistake tho, 80% of the tmo post here are from members that hardly even play in game, and all the other trolls trolling back dont play too. Plus this is server chat, i am unsure why they havent banned those spammers yet...

[Tiggles]

ugh this thread went bad quickly!

It's ok

I am a terrible human being and a forum troll and I love causing drama

But leaving Gore up for other guilds is still a cool idea imo and I hope to keep leaving targets up for other guilds to kill.

You guys might be well served to state this explicitly from time-to-time. I browse forums way more than I get to play, and to me Tiggles is the voice of your guild. He makes you look like giddy teenagers who derive more gratification from negatively impacting the experiences of others than anything else.

Really though folks, I recognize the value of this charity even if an ulterior motive is in place. At least people who don't ever get the opportunity to kill this dragon will get a shot. That's neat. TMO's just hard to trust, is all I'm sayin'. They're like the Don Draper of P99, except paler and less manly. Probably more like the Charlie Sheen of P99, really.

[Zenlina]

up to your discretion, action speaks louder then words and that is what these forums are for, words. Most the time in game you dont see any of it, only thing you see is what they post on here. Even those SS are misleading. At the end of the day it only matters to those that are actually playing in game, and from what i have seen of late is harmony with all guilds and everyone giving each other a helping hand when needed.

[Metallikus]

pretty sure there is a TMO monk in zone that hasnt cleared his agro from gorenaire who stands up from FD before each of your engages to call FTE if you actually kill gorenaire. Good April fools joke tho TMO. Brilliant disguising it as charity.

Newsflash:

There is no evil ulterior motive here. The simple facts are that with no competition at the moment, it's raining loot in TMO-ville and a lot of it is being banked or given to alts. Therefore, /gasp.... good will. Just because P99 raid scene has been a cesspool for the past year with all the cutthroat competition doesn't mean yall have to be pessimists when the goin' gets good.

bards

While I'd like to agree for job security reasons, moving bard songs to the buff window really impairs the ability to dispell staff the debuff off you. But ya, bard MR is pretty OP.

[Raavak]

Just give bards to the wizards and healers. Who cares about melee ;-)

[Lazortag]

Bards give 166 MR at level 60 with a naggy drum. That seems pretty alright.

Not really, just start playing your tunes before your group members click their first 2 buff slots and dont stop playing them, they will keep their position.

[bylbob]

LVL > MR, wich I think is the issue for most guilds that tried it.
If you are under 55/56 or so you will never resist anything, getting resist gear will be pointless so go full hp.

[Lazortag]

Not if the Bard gets feared and his songs get interrupted, although the chance of that is fairly small..

[falkun]

Or a member gets out of range, or this or that. There are lots of different "what ifs", is it really worth it trying to cover them all? While it may be "unclassic", I was simply pointing out the fact that it was easier to manage debuffs when the bard songs were not in the same window as the the debuffs.

[Amelinda]

If Gore is still up tonight, maybe I can convince Amelinda to make a GM event out of it. WHO KNOWS?!

I will likely not be around early in the evening. depending on how my evening goes I MIGHT be around later. if so then sure. Maybe we can have an event. I can't promise anything though!! if not tonight then tomorrow if she still lives we can look into doing something. :)

That's classic tho!! We didn't use those staffs on my server on live and we killed gorenaire. bards were helpful in keeping resists up :)

It sure gets messy when you start dispelling your group while trying to keep your resist songs slots down the buffline, better not have to many missed notes :/ (yeah...give us back our songbox QQ).

Why would you work a GM event around a random mob that a player guild left up for other guilds to attempt? GM events usually include a GM spawned mob not one that is up every week already. You should keep your noses out of this "special event" imo.

Seems liek you would want to save your precious guide time for changing everyone into unicorns, searching for names to change, or bitching in worldwide chat about some random petition you answered. Remember to keep a close eye on those possible exploiters in black burrow.

IB leaves the server, VD takes a 2 week hiatus, TMO leaves a mob up as a 'gift' to the server that potentially prompts a gm event and are hailed as heros.

Look at it this way there has been 2 sides to the raid wars. Tmo an ib/vd.....we both made accusations some supported by facts and some not.
But IB is gone and VD revealed themselves (or at least their leaders at the time) as to how they wanted to play.
TMO has countless times stated we would share mobs esp the ones we don't need, where ib's strategy since day one was one of loot denail to other guilds.

So you are surprised when tmo lives up to their word?

Tmo has been one thing since they started here...consistent. we are against cheating/hacking etc... and the facts prove it. You just need to separate fact from rnf fiction

[Metallikus]

That would be well and good except for every time someone tries to do something constructive there are 15 full time TMO trolls shitting up every thread.

I'm willing to move forward and never say a damned word against tmo again if they have indeed miraculously changed their ways.

Ok here's an idea. How about tmo voluntarily steps back from the whole raid scene (VP, ragefire aside) until April 10th, in solidarity with vd?

What do you have to lose, except more bank loot?

Epic pieces? If that's such a big deal then just host raids and keep those on reserve while you stand back and buff/rez with a few players.

If you wanna be good guys... then be good guys.

edit: and tiggles, the loam is on a wizard, not on a druid. But if that's a server first full set then i'll gladdly accept that recognition.

First off this isn't a thread about hacking/cheating, so I fail to see the relevance of that line. The test of your consistency is debunked by your exclusion of VD in the OP.

** Mobs are chosen by Officer discretion and may change with out announcement
***TMO reserves the right to cancel this promotion as they see fit with out due compensation.


You say IB's strategy was loot denial, but yet here you are claiming to deny loot to a guild that has voluntarily disregarded all dragons. And your previous efforts in VP while raid suspended also debunk your claim.

Look, I'm glad the test of the server gets a shot at gore, but let's not spread lies here.

Zapatos, stop crying. We don't care if you or anyone else likes or dislikes us for doing what we do. Right now what we want to do and are choosing to do is to not be cutthroat on every single target.

IB and VD raided as one for 6months.

TMO treated them as 1 raid guild.

We weren't going to let VD (half of the raid guild) have free run of VP.

We've been pretty consistent towards VD. This isn't some secret that just had light shed on it. WE. TMO. DO. NOT. LIKE. VD's. CORE.

VD has stopped going for raid targets for a reason other than, hey guys, let's give back to the server.

I think it's pretty obvious why you guys have taken a break.

As for TMO, the guild loves to raid. I think giving up 1 raid target a week of their choosing is a great start. I am also sure others (non VD or IB) would agree as well. However, I am sure TMO could always change it's mind if people don't like it.

Huh? yes we want epic pieces. Our members apped joined and raided with us to earn their pieces/loots. It is an asinine proposition to say we should not reward them with lots of raids and lots of loots. We still need epic pieces from lots of mobs and loots from lots of mobs.
We don't have to give you raid targets this is a gift out our own genorosity.

Why would we raid with other guilds? Other guilds want to do the kills themselves. We enjoy raiding. You second proposition to host raids is no different then people following us around for rott loot.

We play the game for our community and to be the best raiders. Now that we aren't disputed we can be more generous, but other guilds should definitely earn their own kills.

IB/VD were one raid team... just calling a duck, a duck.
IB's strategy was loot denial to all guilds. Ours was just loot winning. We just recently got to the point where we dont need most loots from Kunark dragons. IB was loot denying for months without needing loots from classic mobs pre-kunark, they continued to brag about it on the forums once kunark was released and still chased those mobs to deny others.

If you are going to try to debunk me.... at least do it properly. Just saying debunked me doesn;t mean you did.

Guild leaders rolled to see who would pick first. Then the spells were rolled upon by anybody in corresponding classes who needed them.

Cool Idea, props to TMO. I got slay a Kunark dragon today and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

[Hitpoint]

Yea that was seriously fun. There was about 90 people between the three guilds (taken, acyrid, bda) maybe a little less. And like people said before, the 3 guild leaders rolled for first and second pick on loot, and the spells were rolled on by people who can use.

Cant wait for the video.

Dear Mystro,

You lost, you're bad, you're butt hurt from all the anal rape from skeletor and her toys... we get that. Stop QQing on Server Chat and bring it to RnF or just disapear like the rest of your chronies.

Sincerely yours,

The Universe.

[Cash]

Yeah and who says i am in VD, assumptions like that would point in the direction to you being mad bruh.... stop while you're ahead with these types of actions of positivity and quiet your mouth of the trollin

Someone said 103 in zone and 3 guilds combined an honest question of how loot was distributed is not a big deal.

I see no QQing here troll.. I was congratulating the guilds on the Gore kill, and stating the obivious..

Guess there's no point to reason with trolls. Good day

[Barkingturtle]

Grats guilds, cool stuff.

The cooperation is reminiscent of my actual EQ classic experience, which is nice. Good luck next week.

[Writ3r]

I am kind of anxious to see what the target will be week to week and what guild(s) will take the initiative to snag it. The cooperation is definitely nice to see as well as the fact of people HAVING FUN (considering this is a game after all) without there being any unnecessary dramatic behavior in game.

No matter what target it is this round, it is guaranteed to be significantly easier. So I wonder what guild will get it

[Tiggles]

Question is now..


If we leave up talendor

Do you group up with 100 people or try and kill him with just your guild for more loot?

Do you race or compete agaisnt other guilds now?

Besides VP, it all pretty much is downhill from Gore. She's a beast. Still looking forward to the days when mobs can have >32khps. Burn fests aren't as much fun and I do not feel rush tactics are as exciting as the preparation for protracted engagements.

From VD's point of view of other guilds trying him while IB/TMO were on VP-lock, my first recommendation is to learn how to pull him without getting tons of adds. Good luck with whatever mob TMO does leave up!

This 100%, 32k is boring...I'm awaiting the days of aggro and mana management

ya kno, like, raiding against another guild, ya know, the thrill of snagging and tagging first, ya kno, like, training in vp ya know, like counter training in vp so shit still dies.

EQ raiding like everyone else wants, the lets all take an hour to prepare to kill a dragon (forming up, buffing, getting the strat ready, etc), is beyond boring to me. The raid targets at best have maybe 10 different things they do (at best). At most, any given raid member has about 5 things they have to worry about after they are equipped properly.

I have recently started logging in less since IB has quit, even more so when VD gave up all hope in VP.

That is why I was here. What about you? Why are you here if the raiding scene is the way it was? Why join a raiding scene that was something that fit my needs but wasn't to your liking?

[BlackTriad]

I ran by her Sunday evening on my first trip through the DL on P99 very surprised to see her up and found that she is warmly to my toon.

It's just too bad that it just won't last forever. Sorry Miss Gore, I'm taken.

being happy about getting the scraps off Longshanks table. It's pretty damn pathetic.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Blue will probably get zero attention (read: server restarts) until Red gets their shit sorted by Rogean and Co.

[falkun]

I didn't start raiding until Velious, which I didn't get to until after Luclin was released. So I'm taking this opportunity to see content I haven't seen before, while it is "difficult" to do so. Yes, I could make a character on EZ and be clearing VP in a few hours, but that's nowhere near representative of the zone the way the original developers intended it.

Do I think this server is a perfect representation of the original developer's intentions? No. Do I think its the best available without owning a Mac? Yes.

Besides not knowing the raiding scene was as bad as it was before starting ("the real game isn't anywhere near as bad as the forums make them out to be"), I stuck around because EQMac was not planned to go F2P, I don't have plans to buy a Mac, and I thought I might be able to do some actual good for the server. My version of "good" obviously doesn't gel with your version of "good".

If you are looking for the competition side of things, the tagging a mob before another person/guild and winning, why don't you play WoW's BGs? Arathi Basin is all about tagging the post before another person, and you have the actual ability to engage that person.

[fischsemmel]

Admittingly... I only read a few posts on this thread so I don't know how this thread ultimately trended. I do not know how anyone not in the top guild can stand playing on a blue eq server. You guys are like the Scots in Braveheart(besides Wallace) being happy about getting the scraps off Longshanks table. It's pretty damn pathetic.

Been wondering about that shadowy area between your legs? Yeah.. that's where your balls used to be.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Blue will probably get zero attention (read: server restarts) until Red gets their shit sorted by Rogean and Co.

Groz, I'm pretty sure Arillious was talking about the non-TMO guilds and TMO, not about red and blue.

And Arillious, good job insulting the entire server (sans TMO) based on the OBVIOUSLY faulty assumption that no one has fun on p99 unless they are killing raid mobs.

You can only blame yourself for that, by yourself i mean you guild, some of your members went completly out of their way and forgot it was just a game after all. Peoples coming here come to have some fun not be stalked by some creepy dudes or have to deal with endless drama (most of us got enough of that IRL allready). Good competition requires respect from both sides.

[Grozmok]

Sure. I think that server restarts would go a long way to helping end game for the non-TMO crowd, though.

We are not feeling guilty of anything, no matter how many times anyone wants to put that blame on us.
People decided to quit, we didn't make them. When we were in your shoes (read getting beat and trolled or whatnot), we stuck to it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you have to point fingers, you need to look at the people that left. You won't make me believe that you wanted to enter the high end raiding scene with such thin skin after seeing how cutthroat'ish it was.

Granted all that happened wasn't classy, but if it leads to you flipping tables and throwing it all away then you (not you in particular Bylbob) are the one at fault for not being able to take a step back.
We fought dirty and nasty, to win. People ragequitting over it is an entirely different thing that I feel no guilt about.

[Grozmok]

This is EXACTLY what I would want from my server community.

I like how you answer every threads with absolutely nothing constructive or relevant, or some unfunny meme. You're one of those "outdoor" trolls aren't you? Come out of the closet and enter the rnf cave already.

I don't know what you're talking about, but ad hominem attacks probably won't get you very far.

You wonder why everyone except TMO, hates TMO.

PVP and Raiding competition are 2 different things.

I've done WoW bgs, I've helped people get Grand Marshal in classic WoW. I did the arena Glad thing as well in BC. Been there done that.

However, I never did anything remotely close to fighting another guild for a raid target. So joining p99's raid scene was fun to me. If I wanted free easy loot, I would play WoW. I didn't want loot just handed to me tho.

Let's be real after all, P99 has never been what most people here want. A carebear server that gives people free loot. The server staff have done everything possible to make the loot from dragons rare and to force competition. The only classic thing about the server is possibly the xp rates to hit 60.

I raided on P99 for what it was, not what I wanted it to be.

You can only blame yourself for that, by yourself i mean you guild, some of your members went completly out of their way and forgot it was just a game after all. Peoples coming here come to have some fun not be stalked by some creepy dudes or have to deal with endless drama (most of us got enough of that IRL allready). Good competition requires respect from both sides.

You reply as if I am mad at the outcome. All things come to an end. It was bound to happen and I am happy that my side won. If p99 'competition' is over, so be it, I've seen many things come to an end in quite a few mmos. As far as most of you (vd), your guild leaders caused your problems - not TMO. We waged war against 2 guilds working together for 6months straight without letting up. We dealt with both of your shit for far to long to care what you feel is right and wrong. Your guild leaders chose the path that your guild wanted to take, we chose ours in response.

If you want to get upset about the out comes and how things went down. You should probably look at the actions that led up to the points. Trying to preach that it was all one sides fault is pretty childish.

Could TMO have not responded in such a way? sure. Could VD not have responded in their own ways? sure. Guess that is what happens when each guild tries to keep one up on the other.

You're right, I shouldn't call you out when you twist my words and are generally full of it. You're welcome for the sig and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings; don't quit over it. Keep hating, young community representative.

[Lazortag]

Let's be real after all, P99 has never been what most people here want. A carebear server that gives people free loot.

No. That is not what most people here want. We want to see content we've never seen before, revisit content we have seen, and earn our loot through fair competition. I would rather get one mob on a simultaneous respawn than 5 mobs on a rotation, because the former has to be earned (since it requires you to mobilize and takes some semblance of skill to accomplish). It's not like p99's raid scene has to be one extreme (rotations) or the other (ridiculously long variances). There's a happy middle that's still competitive and accessible to people who aren't chained to their keyboards.

PS: The above isn't to be interpreted as an attack against TMO.

you should ignore him, he's just another harrison clone.

He has been here for 3-4 months (possibly less) and only posts to defend his friend/s, despite not every having participated in any of the raiding on the server.

He is an ignorant bystander that preaches only what he is fed and what he imagines after reading gossip posts on the forums.

Aka, he is belligerent fool.

Feel free to keep carrying on. I know that being the kings of pixels feels good in a thirteen year old game on an emulator server.

Feelings? LOL

I said most, not all.

However, most of the fantasy scenarios that people wish of the raiding scene are just as unlikely.

Wanting non-rotations but want hours to engage.

Wanting to have other guilds back off just because you were the first to port a group to the zone. (how is this any different than snagging FTE?)

Wanting shots at mobs without a variance, without poopsocking and without having to log in randomly.

There are a great deal of things people want that either have bad consequences or just aren't well thought out.

[Grozmok]

So you respond with an adhominem? Poisoning the well?

It's what people seem to know best around here. When in Rome.

[Joroz]

Sure. I think that server restarts would go a long way to helping end game for the non-TMO crowd, though.

Doubtful, last server repop TMO kept a scorecard on their old recruitment post in the guild forums(thread hidden/deleted now), it was quite good but left little up for anyone else on the server. Conscience efforts to leave mobs up like this Gore would go a lot further in helping the raid scene with non bat-phone raids.
