Zero Reasons not to Wipe

[heartbrand]

I think I summed up why. Opposition is mainly on awful time zones, is full of the people who bring RL attacks into the game, on average the people in the opposition are in their early 20's stoner types whereas most in nihilum are late 20's with families / jobs so the culture is far different (n word left and right in azrael but not in nihilum), azrael is full of cliques who don't help each other and its dog eat dog there (people like sickpuppy and sealer price gouging their own members) whereas in nihilum most people will help you at a moments notice with anything including gear / pl, competent leadership vs. awful leadership. It's completely night and day. Yes there are idiots in nihilum, yes there are good people in azrael (hi Larsen pal) but on the whole what I'm stating is pretty accurate. We would need a complete draft or something but I just don't see that ever happening because people take this game way too seriously in terms for their hatred of other players. Me personally ill play with anyone, but most people don't feel that way.

The problem is that the opposition are mostly pvpers and Nihilum doesn't care about pvp. I know that sounds like an insult that has gotten very old but its just truth. A guild member of yours above the quoted text rambled on a couple pages of how excited he gets to raid with his guild members. That isn't what most pvpers want.

Red 99 consists of about 20% people interested in PvP and 80% PvE. This didn't happen on live because there were a ton of blue servers to pick from. If there was a shit PvE group they could find a less competitive server. On Project 1999 there is only one other server to choose from and it happens to be a PvP server.

This dynamic has forced the pvpers to try to organize on PvE scale to engage in competitive PvP. The potential leaders from Azrael would most likely be best at organizing small guilds of 10-15. If all the guilds were 10-15 strong Nizzar's group would fall to a Kringe squad. We all saw the frustration Kringe had when trying to lead a full army.

Nizzar is good at what he does and is able to squash any kind of opposition the pvpers of this server are going to organize. Nizzar plays non stop and is able to deliver on what he promises the guild, pixels.

Again Everquest is not about PVP. It never was designed to be a PVP game.

PVP is the spice to PVE.

That is why there were so many blue servers on live compared to the few pvp servers, but the fact is the people on those servers just wanted to pvp. The red 1999 community is a lot different than on live because of this. Red 1999 is just a PvE guild that didn't want to compete on blue. I can't blame them because the strategies to compete on a blue server sounds frustrating.

the only actually frustrating strategy is batphoning which nihilum has demonstrated that they do anyway

they've boxed characters to track when ragefire spawns so i wouldn't doubt them boxing more for the rest of the mobs

Never mind the 4 pvp servers, discord server, test of tactics, best of the bests decided by pvp


Or the fat Mexican idiot posting

wipe it clean, boost xp, add yt, fix resists

[heartbrand]

Plenty of people in nihilum aren't happy with the state of the server. But we aren't all going to disband and hold hands with Andis and lite because of it. The RMT accusations are dumb if there was RMT you'd see random people running around with COF's trak bps etc and yet you don't. Just make the fixes needed open up transfers and have a huge month long xp bonus and make sure it all happens before velious. Be bold and brave and try something new like item loot etc.

Claiming that there is no RMT going on is seriously laughable

The onus is on you to prove such. If there was RMT by the guild you would see again people you never heard of or who aren't in nihilum walking around in end game gear. But yet you don't. I do the dkp logs with thrilla. Every item is tracked. Stop making up bullshit. On the other hand there is an RMT market for accounts but that's not a guild sponsored phenomenon.
