I really do hope that the smaller guilds form an alliance or merge into a bigger guild and give us competition. It would be way more fun than zoning into Fear/Hate and seeing guilds just gate/port out because they can't keep up pulls. I would love to see that happen.

I will compete with your guilds if you sign a waiver that you will not petition for any reason what so ever.

I am neither for or against this thread at this point in my EQ playing career but I do see one point that may have been pver looked:

If the "Big three" decide to lock out all other guilds then eventually people will leave the game and the forum. This will cause the server to lose money and if the players of the "big three" can't pony up enough money every month the server will shut down.

No, it really won't.

Not gonna happen...

Did the Somali's succeed in getting us out of Somalia? Then they won, regardless of the body count. The side with the smaller body count doesn't always win.

Why hasn't this been called out yet??

12 yr old loot. Players who have been there done that, and been there done that again. No interest whatsoever in locking down stuff for up to a year straight...kunark should open things up some. Much more fun playing it as a game now.

Sorry, Ponden, but some 'smaller guilds' actually value skill. Who cares if you can kill classic content if you need 40 people to do it. The "big three" have invited enough people to completely trivialize the content to the point where it doesn't matter how badly individuals perform because your numbers will always overwhelm the mob. If that's the model this server requires to 'give you competition'..well, I personally find that extremely unappealing.

Blackwater broke a full fear spawn with exactly 11 people this week - flawlessly. DA wiped with 50 last week. The "big three" may be getting God loot, but I'm definitely enjoying the game more in Blackwater.
