But isn't like 80% of the nightly red population in one guild?

Not really I don't believe people realize how many members Thunderdome actually has. Also I am sure there are Empire that only log in on their raid nights.

That is why I asked what the benefit if waiting on blue is ^^ Thmart people do the other things you listed because they understand the greater payoff from waiting. The thing about EQ is the more time you spend waiting in game, the more time you sacrifice in the real world. AND the reward remains the same :/ You don't get an extra cookie for waiting in line on blue ^^

Yeah and there are plenty of smaller guilds too. Empire only represents maybe 1/4 of the server. Still a big %, I know, but not nearly 80 ^^

I guess you skimmed over the parts about will power and self retraint carrying over to other areas in your life and having positive effects on the whole.

It's okay, short-sighted gotta-have-it-now types often have trouble looking at the big picture.

But if you want an obvious and tangible payoff in addition to go with waiting for that cookie, you just might make a friend by waiting your turn instead of stabbing him in the back and taking his cookie.

[Damn]

I think your wrong there. Empire doesn't need to beg blue players to try Red. They already have more than enough mouths to feed. TMO and others who want to see new people on Red are the ones who are posting these threads. I have no clue who you are but I am almost willing to bet your a bottom feeding troll. You know the ones.

Some of us would just like to see the population grow. We would like to see 2 opposing guilds whether it is Empire v TMO, Empire v Casual Scum, or even TMO v Casual Scum. The other guilds on the server have their own goals and I don't think competing with Empire or whoever is on top for raid content is part of it.

People throw around Bluebie like its a bad thing. I think the scorn each feels for the other is part of the problem. These servers and the way they are kind of segregated seem to intentionally breed competition and discourse.

/sarcasm on
/shrug but then what do I know I am just a bluebie pretending to be a pvper. Who is pretending I might actually be a factor one day.
/sarcasm off.

That's admirable that you want the population to grow but the way its gone about is wrong you dont want blue players on a red server it feeds the machine of empire and tmo get the scraps of the leftover players

yes bluebie is a bad thing you're on a red server with a seperate culture and being called blue is an insult no matter how much you try to spin it otherwise

See that's where your wrong. I have not and never would stab a friend in a back for anything much less pixels. I know it happens on Red but when it comes down to it your friends are all you should be able to count on having your back during PVP you don't survive long by stabbing them in the back on a pvp server.

If it is or has happened to you then maybe you should reevaluate how you choose or who you consider friends. I have made friends outside of TMO on Red and If they asked I would and have helped them with things. And I have asked them for help and they have helped me. Its the same as any other game or server once you get past the PVP aspect.


Something else to keep in mind. PVP deaths don't cost XP where as that train you 'accidently' get hit with when you piss someone off on Blue does. And you waste a heck of a lot more time petitioning and reporting someone on Blue than you do killing them or getting friends to help you kill them if they steal your camp or do something else underhanded.

At this point I am not trying to convince you to try Red I am just attempting to correct any misconceptions. I want you to be well informed when you troll.


*Edit-Just saw your post above. I don't worry about guild tags. I have no problem with most Friends members. I enjoy pvping against them. I think there are some players on Blue that would make decent players on Red. Its just finding that 1 player out of 100 or so that wants to get in there and learn it and do something or maybe someone who is bored with the same thing.
