First, playing a 13 year old game has a limited audience to begin with.
Of that limited audience, there is only a small percentage of people that have no jobs, or no life, or nothing better to do besides hoping the batphone will go off. The majority of those people are all ready in TMO.
If any of the people in these smaller guilds wanted to be on call 24/7 for some 13 year old pixels...they would all ready be in TMO, not trying to form some 4 way guild alliance or some shit.
This is why nobody can "compete" with them. There just aren't enough people left who want to deal with that shit.
The problem here is strictly stagnation. If it was like classic eq, with a new expansion coming out ever 6-9 months, TMO could move along and leave the older stuff to the "casuals", and there would be fewer problems.
I'm curious to see how velious will really work out for the server. Time will tell.
