Taken from Raid Play Nice Policy by Rogaen (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14667):
Q: What if our raid is disrupted? What if our raid interferes with another raid?
A: Any non-consensual disturbance or meddling from a raid which leads to another raid being disrupted will result in very harsh punishments. Anyone involved in disruptions will be banned for 1 week with possible action against their guild's leadership. Second offenses will be 2 weeks. Further offenses will be permanent. It is the responsibility of the raid leaders to control their members. We strongly suggest that you avoid other raids while in a zone.
Taken from the Raid Rule FAQ by Sirken (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79642):
Q: What if our raid is disrupted? What if our raid interferes with another raid?
A: You may petition in game and if a staff member is available we will be more than happy to show up and evaluate the situation as it occurs. If a staff member is unavailable then please feel free to submit your petition under petitions/exploits on the forums at www.project1999.org. please be sure to include all relevant fraps & screenshots that you feel build your case. Players are not permitted to take the law into their own hands. You are not batman and two wrongs do not make a right, therefore killstealing or general douchebaggery are not permitted under any circumstances. ever.

The GMs are not even punishing the guild anymore for infractions. They are only doing one week suspensions for individual accounts when someone violates the rules and disrupts a raid. This is getting ridiculous. TMO directly benefits when individuals from their guild disrupt raids of the other guilds. WHy would the juggernaught guild care if one or two of their accounts are sacrificed to keep their guild winning every target? They don't care, they keep the cash flow by buying accounts with the money they get from selling the raid loot they aquire from winning.

Well first off the rules you referred to above are not really the rules that were violated today, which is what I'm assuming you are referring to. Perhaps indirectly, but not entirely true. If a raid target is up, you better expect competition.
Second, we enforce the rules, we take actions. In the past actions were taken against entire guilds and guild leadership, perhaps at times prematurely. This can still be the case, but only in extreme circumstances. Each situation is judged on its own merit, the disciplinary actions discussed with multiple staff members, and appropriate actions taken.
Third, no matter what actions we take, Guild A (violating guild) says they're too harsh, Guild B (victim guild) says they aren't harsh enough. Honestly, we all need to take a step back and investigate ourselves, our motives, and what we want for the Project 1999 server and community. Is it guild drama, loot whoring, and harsh punishment for crimes committed? Or do we want to foster a better game, communicate with each other, and move the server forward in a better way?
The point of staff disciplinary action is not to remove those responsible from the game, and certainly not to remove those indirectly associated. Not in any way is it about that. It's about teaching people that they are doing something wrong, so that they can correct it, redeem their name, and hopefully make the server a better place in the future. At times, they fail to do that, and that's where permanent bans usually sit (as well as some other one-off circumstances).
The point is, it's a long road, and it's not always easy to interpret staff rules, especially during heated races. It's our job to clarify them as much as possible, make sure people understand them, not make mistakes in enforcing them (we're human), and refine them to fit the vision that the owners of the server see for it.
Sorry you feel violated for whatever has occurred today or in the past. We're all working pretty hard at trying to create a better future for the server, even though at times it may not seem that way.
Edit: I edit a lot. Get over it.

That would be a fair and reasonable response if the entire server wasnt tainted by violation after violation by one guild in particular on a consistent basis with almost no restitution or recall.

There's not going to be a single message where a GM would recount the suspensions. Just like TMO wouldn't admit to all of it...if at all. They still refute that Fauss was banned.

I don't go around shit talking FE or BDA every chance I get. But I can understand the anger. I can understand it bubbling inside you from losing year+ of mobs...please try to put server peace over your own selfish motives already?

01-06-2013, 06:51 PM
Crying=publicly speaking of the consistent rules violations by TMO and changes to rules and/or interpretations by staff. Clearly, new content negates playing by the rules it would seem.
It's also not talking shit when it's truth. TMO had a guy violate a raid rule today and he got suspended. It happened a few days ago, too. And again not long before that. FE and BDA don't really have that issue.
No it's crying and it's getting boring!

01-06-2013, 06:57 PM
Haha I'm just curious why you people are all so convinced that Fauss is banned - the dude has disappeared before for extended periods of time (not from disciplinary action). If you knew the guy you'd know that he's probably about the last person in TMO at risk of being suspended/banned. Every time I have suggested something even slightly reprehensible, usually while completely joking, he would take a serious stance against it.
Fountree
01-06-2013, 06:58 PM
Yes, actually FE/BDA do have issues with violating the server rules. Difference is, TMO doesn't petition it most of the time. Many raid encounters are volatile and have multiple guilds participating, and things happen through a combination of factors, not just the fault of TMO. You are not only guilty of oversimplifying the situation here, but you're also guilty of taunting the staff and thinking that you need to enforce some sort of "vigilante justice" here when this is really a GM issue at the end of the day...
Yajirobe Yajipants
01-06-2013, 07:04 PM
I don't see any taunting of staff. More like pointing out of the constant redrawing of the line in the sand. TMO instantly pushes the issue when they see/have something, it's just the frequency of rules violations is far less than TMO. Two Inny's ago, we were hit up pretty quickly from TMO w/ fraps over an FE train.
To deny that there are more rules violations on TMO's behalf is just naive. At least attribute it to more raiders present for any given target and thus more chances for (at the very least) an accidental violation.

On another side note, why is it such a crime to publicly show who has been banned so people can see who are idiots/assholes on the server. Little transparency would sweet.

I am offended that I was not on your list.
I guess I have not done anything to warrant attention or QQ from anyone yet.
As for this event, rez'ing in the arena was not allowed, entering the arena after the start was not allowed, and logging in or out inside arena was not allowed.
If we cared, there are people who could produce logs showing several people dying a couple of times.
It was a fun event but, bragging or crying about it or anything else does not get you loot that you did not earn.
As for the training events that occur in Fear frequently: Peeling a Raid target out of another guild's trash train with insufficient numbers is probably the best way to wipe your raid force. Just an FYI.

As for the training events that occur in Fear frequently: Peeling a Raid target out of another guild's trash train with insufficient numbers is probably the best way to wipe your raid force. Just an FYI.
Training around raid targets in your trash trains is a violation.
from the raid rules faq:
"Q: What about a raid mob being indefinitely kited or occupied?
A: It is against server policy to indefinitely kite, or otherwise keep occupied, a raid mob without intention of bringing it to your raid camp. You either bring it to your raid, die, or zone out. Obvious stall-kiting of a raid mob, especially in situations to prevent engagement by another guild, will result in disciplinary actions against the kiter's account, and possibly their raid/guild leadership."
If your guy is training around trash mobs he is responsible for that train and cannot dump it on another player just because he feels like it.
From Rogaen's Global Server Rules:
"Training
Training can be defined as the intentional manipulation of NPC Placement and Aggro in such a way that causes it to attack another player that it wouldn't have otherwise if at it's normal spawn location. The most basic form of this is "dumping" mobs near another player or party and escaping via a form of teleportation or death. Intentional or not, this is against the rules. This rule is not limited to the basic example given, as there are many different forms of training players will use. You take all responsibility for mobs that you aggro. If you are trying to escape from a pack of NPC's but there is another group in your way, do not run through them. Even if your intention is not to train them, it would inevitable cause this and you may be subject to disciplinary. It is recommended that you take the death (Your responsibility for aggroing the mobs) and request a resurrection from nearby players.
If you happen to accidentally train a group of players, please immedietely notify the staff via /petition that you have done so by accident. Apologize to the players in question, and assist them with any recovery needed. If the staff hears about your train before you tell them, intention is no longer an excuse. (Repeated unintentional trains will still result in disciplinary action)."

sorry that you are having a hard time understanding the rules.
So TMO creates a kite so that they can zone in safely, and are seconds from tagging draco when all of the sudden BDA runs past aggros it- runs it around for quite a while with THREE (3) people in zone (obviously insufficient force) while they wait for more to get to the zone. Pretty sure what you guys did was against the rules by training and claiming FTE with non-existent raid force waiting.
So you guys get mad that TMO didnt control the rest of the zone for you? Would you like some more hand holding or you think maybe you can stand on your own two feet for once?
According to your logic, we are NEVER allowed to die in fear with mobs on us. EVER- you heard it here first guys. By tagging draco, you acquired aggro of the kite by social aggro rules and despite the fact that Aalpha died on the other side of the zone, you will claim that he was intentionally training you?
More like if you are going to try and leapfrog a guild, be prepared to deal with the adds that are associated with the pull you are attempting to do. If tmo wasnt there controlling that kite, you would have absolutely zero chance of getting the kill.

EQ endgame has always been cutthroat. Not sure why people expected it to be different on this server emulating "13 year old pixels". It basicly attracts two kinds of people: casual players who want to reexperience the nostalgia of hardcore MMORPGs and the powergamer who strives for competition. Dunno why that's so hard to understand.
We've seen the same discussions since the inception of the server, just exchange guild and players names with xyz and they're identical. You will NOT change the way other players decide to play this game or on this Emu. No one has the right to demand that, even if you think you're treated unfairly (wake up, life sucks). Either wait until Velious and see if it'll change anything (TMO will lose interest in 95% of Kunark and 99% of Classic I assume) or quit your job or w/e to free up more time so you can slay pixels or leave the server.
We've had the similar accusations and rants thrown at TR/IB when we were still around. I can honestly say that I have no idea if all of them were false, but most were plain bullshit, entertained by haters and players who did not share the mentality of high end raiding. Again. You can't dictate how others enjoy the game. I played on The Rathe and raid targets were rotated, minus the really end game mobs. I didn't understand competitive raiding until I experienced it here, on P99. The essential questions the powergamer asks himself are following: how much can we actually pull off? How many targets can we clear? It's a simple numbers game. It requires dedication and stamina. Especially here, with the variance bullshit and constant tracking.
Of course you can argue that TMO has been slaying target_xy for 1-2 years now and they don't need the gear anymore or are equipping their alts with dragon loot. Well, you could construe that has another "top-raiding" tactic. Since this server is already big on pre-buffing and -camping, wouldn't it make sense to go one step further and park multiple chars at multiple targets? Whether or not you classify this as "good" or "bad" doesn't matter. Personally I think it's a terrible development (e.g. Trak ledge, lawl), but as long as it ensures a win...
How about, instead of constantly bitching without any results, launching a counter-offensive? You know what DA did shortly after Kunark when they couldn't field enough players anymore? They merged with the -then- casual TMO and deployed mass numbers which eventually got them their kills. If multiple guilds are not capable of working together against a "common foe", how do you expect to survive on your own? Maybe instead of 4-5 guilds going for Inny, it should maybe be TMO vs. one raid alliance? I'm pretty sure this has been thrown around before, but apparently it's not appealing either, so the general consensus is: activate carebear and rotate? Well yea, see above. Not taking any sides here btw. Just explaining. :)
Won't comment any shitty behaviour by suspended players or staff decisions or w/e as I'm not in the current raid loop anyhow.

You can't dictate how others enjoy the game. I played on The Rathe and raid targets were rotated, minus the really end game mobs. I didn't understand competitive raiding until I experienced it here, on P99. The essential questions the powergamer asks himself are following: how much can we actually pull off? How many targets can we clear? It's a simple numbers game. It requires dedication and stamina. Especially here, with the variance bullshit and constant tracking.
Of course you can argue that TMO has been slaying target_xy for 1-2 years now and they don't need the gear anymore or are equipping their alts with dragon loot. Well, you could construe that has another "top-raiding" tactic. Since this server is already big on pre-buffing and -camping, wouldn't it make sense to go one step further and park multiple chars at multiple targets? Whether or not you classify this as "good" or "bad" doesn't matter. Personally I think it's a terrible development (e.g. Trak ledge, lawl), but as long as it ensures a win...
How about, instead of constantly bitching without any results, launching a counter-offensive? You know what DA did shortly after Kunark when they couldn't field enough players anymore? They merged with the -then- casual TMO and deployed mass numbers which eventually got them their kills. If multiple guilds are not capable of working together against a "common foe", how do you expect to survive on your own? Maybe instead of 4-5 guilds going for Inny, it should maybe be TMO vs. one raid alliance? I'm pretty sure this has been thrown around before, but apparently it's not appealing either, so the general consensus is: activate carebear and rotate? Well yea, see above. Not taking any sides here btw. Just explaining. :)
Won't comment any shitty behaviour by suspended players or staff decisions or w/e as I'm not in the current raid loop anyhow.
omg someone in this thread gets it, perhaps more will follow

So you want the zone cleared or partially cleared before a raid target can be engaged? TMO is not the only guild to use this strategy and it would be ridiculous to insinuate otherwise.
heaven forbid you have to clear a couple mobs before u engage a raid target rather than kite everything around and dump the train on other guilds competing for the target. It is clearly stated in the rules to not kite raid targets. You get agro on a raid target, you take it to your raid immediately.

http://i.imgur.com/2QGqR.jpg
Pfff Capi Let you win Xerxes. < confirmed true story.
"Aalpha was suspended after today's events, how can you possibly defend your stance that we caused our own train??? "
This is not true. Ephi specifically said that Aalpha was suspended for intentionally dropping his train onto Arconis. NOT, I REPEAT NOT, FOR TRAINING your camp. Never mind the fact that Arconis aggroed every mob in Aalpha's train when he leap frogged and sniped FTE (Aalpha's train was in range of Draco to get aggro when Draco sent out his social assist call).
Ephi knows that Arconis took the train north and got a COTH after your monk peeled draco by Sneak pulling. Ephi knows that the train took an immediate bee line to your camp once the Bard got his coth.
Conclussion: your monks demonstrate once again they do , NOT I REPEAT DO NOT, understand how aggro works in this game. Once again, you guys will just have to try again next time. And maybe also try not to coth the Bard that has aggro on the whole zone. Just as a back up, it is nice to control the zone if you can (although I understand that it is hard to kill draco with 4 people, so the bard was much needed help.)

As one of the three TMO monks involved in the pull from reading this thread it is ULTRA clear to me you all have no idea what what you are talking about.
1) Aalpha goes in and agros mobs around portal, looking for Draco
2) As he runs towards Draco to agro him, BDA bard hits bard speed past Aalpha and agros draco (As Aalpha is running directly towards him and I'm 2 seconds from agroing also to pull him)
3) Aalpha FD's the mobs he agro's since we were beat on pull, but since BDA bard ran through his train already had agro.
There was no raid training, there was no dropping mobs on your puller, there was only a lack of kiting mobs so you can kill Draco. You guys are neglecting to mention that BDA people agro'd that train and did not clear agro.
Aalpha's suspension was bullshit.
I had the opportunity to take Draco off your puller and to TMO camp, but the TMO officers told me not to. You all have no idea what happened, clearly.

I personally know many Taken members, and I know you guys could kill atleast a few of the high end raid mobs. The only reason you can't/won't/don't is because of TMO and their chokehold on every mob in the game. So before you continue guzzling the collective ejaculate of TMO, atleast try to think about the other members of your guild who would like to do some high end raiding, kill different mobs, and maybe...JUST MAYBE...get their epics too (without paying TMO's rent).

You do great work, and Ephi does too, it is hard for you all to see everything. It would be good if there was some kind of God mode you could zoom out and see each player and rewind the plays.

Or it could simply be that your "fix" would break the game for others. I can't help it that your preferred method of playing the game seems to be mutually exclusive with mine. I play EQ to compete to the maximum extent allowable within the rules provided, and I will continue to do so as long as I am able. The server currently caters to this style of play; it's incumbent upon you to deal with that.
As I've said before, RMT undoubtedly happens. However, you are increasingly marginalizing yourself with your constant and baseless invocations of systemic RMT transactions.
Of course, when you're already a fanatical demagogue I suppose you have nothing left to lose by beating your chest like an angry ape.

I love how everyone puts their own spin on this shit. Aalpha was running towards draco to tag (with a train), and BDA's bard rushes past Aalpha for the tag. Aalpha unknowingly drops said train not knowing the BDA bard got social aggro on the train. BDA gets trained.
Did we train BDA? No. BDA ran through our train.
I honestly loved the new staff until this pointless fucking suspension. How does this warrant a suspension? Is Ambrotos filling in for Ephi? When another guild does something wrong it's all fucking gravy but the guild that wins gets shit on, while sore losers are no doubt always up in arms making up any bullshit they can.
We'll just let you pussies pull draco and the massive train and wipe yourselves next time. Xerxes can pull.

We're all working pretty hard at trying to create a better future for the server, even though at times it may not seem that way.
then disband TMO and keep them from selling epics for hundreds of k-plats that you know exactly what they do with afterwards!
Unless you want to see another IB-fiasco and somebody (like Eccezan the cave sociopath) make 15K USD on your back.

The point of staff disciplinary action is not to remove those responsible from the game, and certainly not to remove those indirectly associated. Not in any way is it about that. It's about teaching people that they are doing something wrong, so that they can correct it, redeem their name, and hopefully make the server a better place in the future. At times, they fail to do that, and that's where permanent bans usually sit (as well as some other one-off circumstances).

In general, an opinion is a belief about matters commonly considered to be subjective, i.e., it is based on that which is less than absolutely certain, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts
I am sure you aren't delusional enough to consider your opinion to be fact. Likely it is just a misinterpretation of the word, "truth".

As an ex BDA member and fresh TMO app I find your trolling quite sarcastic, that is all.
All in all RnF is a lot of people stating stuff they cannot even prove, each other trying to frame each other for stuff nobody really cares about.
As of advising you not the enter the RnF courtyard, I was being friendly, quite disappointed to see you posting here after our talks the other day. You said you weren't sponsoring the TMO BS and how they are pointlessly pharming the server, yet I see you bragging out there like a low life troll...I'm quite surprised, that's all.

EQ endgame has always been cutthroat. Not sure why people expected it to be different on this server emulating "13 year old pixels". It basicly attracts two kinds of people: casual players who want to reexperience the nostalgia of hardcore MMORPGs and the powergamer who strives for competition. Dunno why that's so hard to understand.
We've seen the same discussions since the inception of the server, just exchange guild and players names with xyz and they're identical. You will NOT change the way other players decide to play this game or on this Emu. No one has the right to demand that, even if you think you're treated unfairly (wake up, life sucks). Either wait until Velious and see if it'll change anything (TMO will lose interest in 95% of Kunark and 99% of Classic I assume) or quit your job or w/e to free up more time so you can slay pixels or leave the server.
We've had the similar accusations and rants thrown at TR/IB when we were still around. I can honestly say that I have no idea if all of them were false, but most were plain bullshit, entertained by haters and players who did not share the mentality of high end raiding. Again. You can't dictate how others enjoy the game. I played on The Rathe and raid targets were rotated, minus the really end game mobs. I didn't understand competitive raiding until I experienced it here, on P99. The essential questions the powergamer asks himself are following: how much can we actually pull off? How many targets can we clear? It's a simple numbers game. It requires dedication and stamina. Especially here, with the variance bullshit and constant tracking.
Of course you can argue that TMO has been slaying target_xy for 1-2 years now and they don't need the gear anymore or are equipping their alts with dragon loot. Well, you could construe that has another "top-raiding" tactic. Since this server is already big on pre-buffing and -camping, wouldn't it make sense to go one step further and park multiple chars at multiple targets? Whether or not you classify this as "good" or "bad" doesn't matter. Personally I think it's a terrible development (e.g. Trak ledge, lawl), but as long as it ensures a win...
How about, instead of constantly bitching without any results, launching a counter-offensive? You know what DA did shortly after Kunark when they couldn't field enough players anymore? They merged with the -then- casual TMO and deployed mass numbers which eventually got them their kills. If multiple guilds are not capable of working together against a "common foe", how do you expect to survive on your own? Maybe instead of 4-5 guilds going for Inny, it should maybe be TMO vs. one raid alliance? I'm pretty sure this has been thrown around before, but apparently it's not appealing either, so the general consensus is: activate carebear and rotate? Well yea, see above. Not taking any sides here btw. Just explaining. :)
Won't comment any shitty behaviour by suspended players or staff decisions or w/e as I'm not in the current raid loop anyhow.
This is how I remembered it being for the most part, but you have to ask why was it so and were all servers like this? Generally speaking the answer is yes but once you delve a little deeper you will realise a few things such as it only appeared this way because unfortunately for anyone to compete against guilds that adopt these tactics they have to adopt them themselves - and that's where it all falls apart. If your core leadership aren't of the douchebag variety it just isn't going to work.
There are some guilds on this server that wont go in for the ultra competitive (lol) pissing contest that tmo and countless guilds on live do/did, so they get to live off the scraps. Hardly the best way to enjoy the game for a large portion of the server.
tl;dr To get the loots you have to be a selfish shithead too
feanan
01-07-2013, 03:21 PM
Another difference is, back on Live there was actually some things to be proud of when you first defeated an encounter, and the constant new content that came out meant there was always someplace to move on to.
Here you have people bragging about killing shit that has been getting killed for 13 years. Lots of skill! Lots to be proud of! I can see why TMO likes to come brag!
I would guess that the toxic shit that makes up the raiding game on this server has run off way more people than having some sort of enforced rotation.
So you have to ask yourself, why have the GM's let it come to this? They can fix the issues. And if 100 hardcore TMO, BDA, whoever quit because of it, who cares? Because 500 people who previously quit because of all the drama crap would come back.

Oh where did you get these figures? I am willing to wager that the majority of people who leave do so because of lack of content not for any raid reasons.
I bet if they put out velious "500" people would come back too.

not 8 months, prob more like 4 or 5? Think kunark launched in march and I know TMO was taking out Trak in August (maybe even July).

TMO's current state is 20 ultra experienced players running around with PD robes and the rest are warm bodies joining the hype as it lasts.
The raiding scene has changed as TMO continuously dominated it, other guilds are adapting, just like TMO adapted to TR's saddistic game play. It's just a question of time until both FE and BDA start seriously biting huge chunk from TMO's kill %.
For TMO it's all about Velious, whilst I can see both FE and BDA happily pharm VP for atleast a year. Oh and, train fest is about to start in there as both FE and BDA have a raid force capable of everything but Hoshkar, considering they don't hypothetically team up for now :rolleyes:

TMO's current state is 20 ultra experienced players running around with PD robes and the rest are warm bodies joining the hype as it lasts.
The raiding scene has changed as TMO continuously dominated it, other guilds are adapting, just like TMO adapted to TR's saddistic game play. It's just a question of time until both FE and BDA start seriously biting huge chunk from TMO's kill %.
For TMO it's all about Velious, whilst I can see both FE and BDA happily pharm VP for atleast a year. Oh and, train fest is about to start in there as both FE and BDA have a raid force capable of everything but Hoshkar, considering they don't hypothetically team up for now :rolleyes:
TMO is on easy mode atm. Basically taking breaks and just relaxing.
As far as warm bodies, they'll get their loot all the same.
As far as other guilds getting mobs, TMO doesn't really care. I've seen what they say about it and they all pretty much understand that things are easy mode and to just chill while they can until Velious while keeping the other guilds at bay.
The worst off the other guilds are at Velious, the better for TMO.

TR was on "chill" mode too, with lots of AFKs, you know the end.

They tried to keep up their "we're dominate, fuck you" status and let the minor losses get to them. Then because of that, they did something most of them didn't want to do... they joined up with VD for warm bodies.
In the end, TR killed themselves. Instead of saying, fuck it we're going out on top, they lowered themselves to try and keep competing.
TMO will just recruit and keep fresh faces while they require it.

Eh. We did go into chill mode. The old guard mostly went and did RL stuff or played other games. That continued for a long time, but we kept up the rhetoric until the bitter end.
In sum, it was attrition that killed IB. Chill mode (read: intentional delay of VP so TMO could catch up) lasted much longer than we thought it would.
The difference with TMO chill mode and Tr chill mode are the players. When TMO goes into chill mode the core players with all the loot stay around or take small breaks and come back to get more people loot.
In IB/TR the core players would leave after they got loot and not come back until a new expansion.
You are such a tinhat tho. Its like saying Velious is being intentionally delayed so BDA could catch up. Guess we will be waiting another 10 years.

Some guilds have taken a good chunk of stuff for a week or two, but no one has really been able to consistently dominate anything against us except maybe Faydedar at this point, and that streak is over.

I must specify that TR's decline was prior to VP's release. TMO had for long been getting atleast 50% of the traks before VP's release, I'd say for atleast 5 months or so.
TMO getting 40 to 50% of the global targets is what accelerated TR's decline prior to VP's release. However the release beefed our roster with old players coming back, for one month, or so...giving us just enough muscle to create the rotation, early broken by us and this is when TMO totally started their domination.
I'm sorry to say TMO's current stance towards the raiding scene is literally similar to TR's stance prior to their decline. We could have 70 people in fear within 7 minutes for CT at TR's peak glory, it was totally retarded.
6 months later, IB and VD are in fear, both guilds could barely bring 25 to 30 people (that's still 60 people), to wipe twice with the zone desync and see TMO get the CT kill, first bile, and DD's epic and #1 necro epic. However, then, TR/IB's roster had reduced by 60%, the 70 people had become a core of 25-30....
You know that was I'm underlining here is quite accurate, as the wait for velious is mechanically reducing TMO's quality players, and hence their game play, whilst other guilds of motivated folks to gear their mains is increasing.
You and I know p99 is cyclic, for one simple reason, people get bored by pharming, some who don't just are no lives. p99 is all about breaks and come back. That's why i'm quite confident about TMO's downfall.
Will the raiding scene be less retarded with the new alpha wolves, not really sure.
Let's wait and see

TMO roster literally twice of what IB's was. TMO also has less "elitests" that leave after they gear and return to get the new gear before leaving again.
TMO is literally one big ass family-raid guild. Their model is completely different than IB's guild model. Their stances are very similar tho.
TMO will last, unless it implodes.

TMO is a phantastic pharm machine.
Depriving TMO to distribute to FE , BDA , FC, Europa, etc wtv might aswell kill it.
Repeatedly post poning Velious might aswell do so.
There are a lot of things that can kill TMO over time, which is a good thing as the server will perhaps be more balanced once they are gone or with a shrinked roster.

thats silly talk... new members get a great deal when a guild is in farm status on everything... shit will hit the fan when SoV comes out and it factions between those that get the new gear and those that think they should get it.... with returning players coming back for the new expansion and the already huge roster its going to be a lot of grass is greener on the other side of the fence type shit.

You should do some research.
Did you know that you can play EQ in a windows mode? This allows you to surf the "web" and play a game at the same time! Its amazing. Not to mention I only spend time on the forums during working hours with the sometimes exception of a check or two when some good TMO hate is going on.
Also, I was in BDA so ya.
