Problem on here is most top end guilds require you to be at least level 45 or 50. Not very noob friendly in that respect.

So you join another guild that takes you and unless you are a HARDCORE raider you will probably stay in it instead of going to TMO etc. So it breeds more and more "Lesser" guilds on here. I don't see a problem with it.

One thing I don't understand about a raid rotation, what is there to stop a top tier guild from just forming another guild with their alternate characters and monopolizing more content?

Guilds that were taking every major spawn certainly aren't going to be content with 2 FFA spawns then sitting on their thumbs for the rest of the day.

Speaking as a newer player that just started in the last few months on p99, it's nice to see new guilds forming [that have plans to raid eventually]. I had some friends from EQ live that got me started here and then quit a few weeks after.

I raided end game for years on live and I am itching to do some raiding now on p99. However, while it would be nice to jump into raiding on p99 right now, I don't want to be 1 of 10 chanters (or pick your class) in any of these guilds (i.e. TMO, BDA, etc.). I'd also rather not be part of a team where each member has 5 lvl 60 epic'd alts at their disposal to fill any roll needed. I'd rather be part of a smaller core team that has high play time folks where I am needed and counted on to be part of their success.

Trying to find a guild that will be raid ready in a month or so that does not have 300 members seems to be a challenge but hoping it turns out the way I have planned it.

Pantheon rising pretty much came with our own members. Yeah we have some people that were here before pantheon rising was made but most of our members came from the pantheon kickstarter comments section. We were originally going to play vanguard but on the day we decided on it they announce its closing. So we decided eq and we are very happy with our choice

The system will control itself. Either a guild will thrive and grow, coast and stagnate, or decay and die; each on its own terms. No one should find any problem with it. Not every guild is going to reach TMO levels; not every guild wants to.

Edit:
As of a month ago, according to the P99 Character Database (which is done from parsing /who queries), there were about 260-odd guilds on the server. That seems like a shitton, but I think the guild "One Man Wolfpack" exemplifies the true nature of P99 (in name, at least). By the FREE nature of P99, people are free to create and create until their hearts are content. Here is a guild that seems to have reached its goal right out of the gate: a one-man guild.

Think of how many Level 1 throwaway alts are just collecting pixel dust, not even being used as mules. The same is likely true of guilds.

Maybe today I'll create the guild "Cats on the Moon."
