My proposal for Raiding guilds and GMs of P1999

I'm sorry IB has been dominating the sever since it has been around and you feel entitled to every mob. It's time to start adapting. Now at the first sign of adversity you bitch and moan.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one of your officers open this thread? IB lost the race to mobs SEVERAL times under the old rule [You must be logged in to view images.

Sure we got more than our share of targets but at least the WHOLE SERVER got a chance to get to a target and beat us. The greed of your guild at wanting the so called guaranteed mob is what led to this situation.

So call mobilization what you will and keep crying about us camping were doing what we have to and putting in the time to claim our raid targets

Exactly how many members do you have in your guild again? I'd be very interested as to how you guys "gear up" your guild. If your so good at camping then keep camping instead of opening up threads about how your looking out for average Joe.

Greed? I am apart of DA and it kinda would be ridiculous if i didn't want to help our members out anyway possible. What am i suppose to say. Alight guys we killed Vox this week lets not kill any other targets for the sake of other guilds that don't want to put in the time. This post was a open forum for an idea. It is not going to happen as you can see, it was designed for other guilds feedback. I love that IB's new insult is that some how were a zerg guild. Like i said before we are a new guild and still filtering members in and out to find our core group. And fuck the old days there gone, fuck waiting for a text to log and kill a target its gone. When we broke from FB and formed DA, at the time we did not clear all of the end game content. So our practice was out for fights like vox. We needed a way to make sure we could engaged certain mobs so we can learn the fights. Camping was the quickest way to have first shot at a mob.

I want to toss my two cents in, as a very casual player. Casual to the point that I don't have the time to read the entire 30 page thread that only started yesterday. I'd rather just sit down and play.

I've spent a good amount of time wondering how to maintain a "Classic" feel, as I slowly level up. I certainly loose quite a bit of that feel when I walk into Unrest and see 3 Power leveling groups mopping up the entire zone. I loose some of that classic feel when I group with a player who's under level 20, and has a full set of pre-plane gear that is obviously out of the reach of that player. What I really want to get out of playing EQ is something as close as possible to what we got when we played back in '99. I think that the Admins, Developers, and GMs all do a wonderful job doing their part, and for the vast majority of the time I'm online, I enjoy myself very much.

I do fear the end-game content, however. I don't have an answer that doesn't require some very very heavy handed GMs, which probably isn't any good either. And I probably won't be level 50 before Kunark is released (just like back in live, oh the good ol' days.)

While I'm sure this thread is loaded with players who put more than 5-10 hours a week into this game, please keep in mind those of us who don't. We're people too, and a "Peson's a Person, no matter how" much they play EQ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The OP suggested we split the server, and I would be more than happy to run a "copy" of the official Project1999 server. If they are willing to open source their work and database, I would open a clone that weekend. Unfortunately I would be a terrible GM, and would probably set the level cap to 1 level higher than my current character's level, just to be mean, so it would probably be me all by my self for quite a long time, if not indefinitely. (It's taken me 6 weeks to hit level 19, wee!)

Anyway, I hope the outcome of this open forum is a positive one.

You are supposed to not oppose your other officers that want this ridiculous system changed.

At least that's what I'm sure about 99% of people would say, since about 99% of the server doesn't want this camping shit.

Is killing the bosses really worth not playing the 3 days it takes to wait at their camp for them? People like you have made it so.

I care for the server's health. The raiding scene is important and we need to keep it clean and as drama free as possible. I care about the 600 other poeple that are gonna get close to 50 and wants to raid in the near future. I proposed these rules so no one, in the near future, has to deal with the retardedness that is the current raiding rules.

So... Nizzarr, an officer of Dark Ascension, is out to save the server, while Ayen, an officer of Dark Ascension, is going to do anything and everything he can to help benefit Dark Ascension. Do I have that correct?

Why do I get the idea one of these guys is TRYING TO FEED US BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA?

Gosh, I wonder why I took a big shit on this thread right away.

I have an idea for you. How about the 37 officers of Dark Ascension talk to each other and get your fucking story straight before you try to feed us more of your shit.

Ya IB members do like to throw the Zerg word around a lot, i remember for a long time they were calling Transcendence a Zerg guild and then would show up with more people on average then we did, I just kind of funny how people can only see one side of the story.

As for the problem at hand if i was part of one of these guilds leadership i would ignore any of these trolls and hold a special guild meeting session and identify the issues at hand and work to solve them one at a time without dealing with the retards that call these forums home.

Coming to the forums is never a good idea and you should of known that Nizzar, you guys all have my Vent info or should i suggest you get it done as its only going to get worse.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Let's drop the zerg bullshit. Both IB and DA are zergs now. Before the big sit began, 50 players meant two guilds were in a zone. Now both guilds can field 50 easily and DA rarely fields less than 50 for a boss. All of these bosses can be killed with 20 except for Vox since her buffs and sometimes CT depending on what he's wielding. The zerg situation is a symptom of the camping problem, not the cause.

[Ayen]

Jesus Christ how many times do i have to say this was an idea put out by nizzarr just to get a general feel for the server population. He's not out trying to "save" anyone. So before we go though this again fucking understand what im trying to say. The zerg situation is a symptom of the server population growing.

I'm not flaming anyone about being unemployed. DA has members who are as well.
