Majority of nilly is power gamers, not sure why this is surprising / shocking / upsetting to people. The power gamers will always go to the power gamer guild.

edit: also no viable 2nd option. most new blue players here have no interest in azrael. shocked why no one has tried to make another guild.

Shocked? Really? Look at what Nihilum and Azrael did the last time someone(you) made a 3rd guild.

R99 had Tune farming 52's like they were manastones, Nizzar training Sol B to get YT's, and Lite would send out batphones to camp our guild bind.

You gotta admit it was good times though =).

Server was more fun with 3 guilds, and now the population can support it. We just need to find a solid jobless neckbeard to run it.

The time to make another guild was right after the xp bonus was put back in. The vast majority of the people who transplanted from blue or came back unaffiliated have found their way into Nihilum (95%) or Azrael(5%).

It might not be a popular opinion with the vocal minority on the boards, but Nihilum has a lot to do with why many of these players are sticking around. The app requirements are almost nil, you instantly become non KOS to 80% of the 50+ scene and it's your only realistic chance at end game pixels. There just aren't a lot of folks who are interested in hitting the raid scene in bronze and having to scrape and claw for enough platinum to buy even mediocre droppable items and never see a VP dragon or high end loot from Kunark. All the while having their exp/loot farming groups snuffed out of existence by the better geared majority.

You can call these guys names, say they are pussy blubie sellouts, say they're ruining the server by joining the zerg...but all that does is fuel their drive to app to Nihilum. For a huge amount of these newer players there are two options: Nihilum or quit.

TLDR: Let's worry about a viable 2nd option before we worry about a viable 3rd one?

Too long

Didn't exploit

Changed the last sentence to TLDR for you.

pretty much why this server is "broken" and cannot be fixed without some sort of mass blue copy transplant. broken doesnt mean it cant be fun fyi, just saying this server will never be able to support another guild at this point.
