Of course if velious comes out we will be focused there. With the exception of Phara Dar there is nothing we need in Kunark. Other than a few epic pieces here and there but TMO is over 95% epic'd (necros draggin us down).

Variance would suck honestly it would just mean a rotation (which eliminates competition) or poopsocking which is really just lame. If we are going to put in a rotation we mine as well just petition the GM's to give every guild loot each week.

Raiding im sure is part of what has been the cause of people quitting but people are quitting from TMO too. The main cause for server decline is the 9+months late Velious. Its not EVERQUEST....without the Ever. Live constantly had new content pushed out. Velious was 8 months after kunark. 1 yr later Luclin, PoP was 10 months after Luclin etc. etc.

What makes this worse is this is not new content for most of us. We know the questlines, the bosses the zones etc. so content gets stale faster.

There's still plenty of content that I haven't seen in Kunark. And I think that's true for a lot of players on this server. If the content is stale to the top raiders and they have the gear they need, why stand in the way of everyone else? Open up some content to the rest of the server and the population will rise, or lock down the content and watch everyone quit from boredom and frustration.

If you the only guild in the zone who cares if you train yourself or drop CT through the floor on yourself? Makes sense.

And the rule lawyering begins.

What constitutes being alone?

Enforce no training and no raid interference and this rule is not necessary.

Alone = No other guilds in the zone at all. Its fear, not seb. A hard rule would, absolutely be easier to enforce however. I just kinda had a funny thought about someone training themselves with some bard kite, CT pulling everybody underground, and a giant cumbersome corpse run because nobody could see any corpses. Plus the hilarity of a zone full of mobs.

Naked fear corpse run. CLASSIC!

But then you have the instance where another guild zones in after you have your kite started and now you have to dump it to adhere to the rule. Able to train, or not able to train, don't have exceptions to the rule.

Project 1999,

We are all well aware of what raiding on this server is like. BDA started and has progressed as a casual raiding guild. We have been fortunate to have progressed as far as we have, and plan to continue doing so with this great group of friends we have built. We also know what it is like to be a casual guild on a server perpetually dominated by a few guilds at the very top. We hope that other guilds on P99 can continue to progress to higher content as well.

BDA does not believe in any way that we own rights to any raid mobs, but we are aware that we have a larger active raid force right now than most. We also want to see a new leaf turned for P99. As such, we are making the following decisions open and public. While we hope and expect that other guilds will be competing with us for all raid targets, we want to ensure that the raid content is spread across the server.

The following raid targets will be left alone by BDA indefinitely:

Nagafen
Vox
Dracoliche (standalone spawns)
Alternate Maestros (2nd, 4th, etc)
Noble Dojorn
Talendor
Second Faydedar
Second Severilous

The following raid targets will be left up for at least two hours after spawning for any other guilds to attempt. After that BDA will host an open joint raid with any guilds that wish to attend. The loot will be rolled on by all present raiders who can use the gear that dropps:

Second Trakanon (and Fourth pending spawn) (excluding teeth and guts)
Second Venril Sathir (Excluding Dru/Rng/Wiz epic items)
Second Innorruuk
Second Gorenaire

Again, BDA makes no claims of possession over any other raid target. We just hope that in the future more cooperation can be seen across the entire spectrum of guilds on Project 1999.

See you in game!

Lets stick to the point of this thread -over. thanks.

Lady Vox is still up, and has been up for like a week. Someone should try organizing another public raid. That's not to say we couldn't kill her ourselves, but there's little desire to given that her loot isn't fantastic and it's a little too much trouble to move our alts to permafrost.

For some reason I remembered her loot not being great, I guess just because she never dropped anything good when we killed her. I still think someone should try another public raid on her since there's little interest from non-BDA guilds, and it's a waste to see her left up for a week.

leave her for Full Circle to do in a few months time i say
