Kaev, I see you don't waste your keystrokes bringing cancer and aids into a discussion about a games population, history & raid scene. You added nothing of value, only toxic hate.

Your the worst kind of person.

It continues to be an aggravating realization among CSR staff that 10% of the server population causes 90% of the problems. We are all for competition, but it needs to be fair competition. We are also all here for the same thing, to experience classic Everquest. The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

I was thinking to myself the other day and I came to ask myself.. Are we providing this server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes that it has resorted to taking every absolute measure to be victorious, or are we here to provide a classic Everquest experience for everyone to enjoy?

A lot of you make fun of it in your own terms, but it really does come down to fighting over very old content.

Either way, we're tired of the constant bickering, the training, the ninja looting, and all the other bullshit that's going on. So here's what we're going to do.

Starting today and then evaluated when Velious is released the CSR staff will be keeping track of how the raid guilds are treating eachother. If we do not see a significant improvement in the behavior of the raiding guilds and how they treat eachother, Velious will be released without raid content. To be clear, we want an enjoyable raid scene for everyone, not just one or two guilds. This means working together to figure out a compromise when racing for mobs, and working with smaller guilds to let them have a chance at mobs you don't absolutely need for gearing main characters.

The rules were changed because you guys were a cancer on the server, really. Sure, nobody else was really willing to go to quite the same extremes of neckbeardry and virginity in order to accomplish what you did.

The irony is that today's raid scene on blue is far more onerous and miserable than it ever was back then. There is a reason why many of the players who thrived in the old raid scene cannot bring themselves to enjoy it.

Thankfully instant engages will be a thing of the past, at least for the first year or so of velious.
