As you can clearly see from this simple graph Variance is the only plausible solution.

Think you'll get 30 out of 40 casual gamers to log in when Empire has that many on during peak at all times and that you will get guys on before Empire gets 60 out of 150? Oooook.

Sim pops causing only partial spawns? Park a Ranger in every zone, and there ya go all that coding defeated. Yawn.

Want to win? Get more members. I joined holo/empire months ago and since then we've added 1200+ new characters. Fresh went from 0 members to a list cut short 90% of the time. If Azrael had even poached 25% of the active 100 that show up to raid with Empire and another 25% of the Fresh that is another 50 members for their contesting. They didn't, they lost. Find a new leader. Try a new strategy.

If Maximilian / Noah can build a successful, dragon killing, stays and fights pvp guild and you cant. The problem is you. Game over, thread closed, stop posting until you address the problem within you. Ban forum account, spend time in rehab for self reflection.

The issue also could be lite likes to keep his tight rmt scheme small.

First and only good syft post.

And these nerds say change isn't possible

While I agree Azrael has pursued a losing strategy, Red99 can't truly sustain two large guilds that can compete on a weekly basis over dragons head to head. No amount of coding changes can fix this short of a significant population injection that puts Red99 at 500 pop +.

Monopolizing numerous spawn areas with the intent to exclude other players will not be permitted. If investigated and verified by a GM, Monopolizing will result in the disbanding of the guild.

I'm sure we can expect support from everyone in Empire with these new changes

server working as intended, community working as intended

0 pvp

only pve

no changes needed.

PvP in EQ is a zero sum game. In most other games, PvP is a side game where one can still progress outside of it.

I'm Glad we can count on your support for Classic PNP as proposed by your guildmate Nirgon

I don't really care at all if they enforced some sort of rotation on this server to be honest. Would probably be healthy for server pop growth. Shrug.
