I would kill myself if I felt obligated to raid in a time frame like that every week.

And you don't have to, even if in a class C guild. You arent expected to be on-call 24/7, as people work and need sleep and family time etc. The goal is to have a strong enough guild so that a kill force is always able to log in at any given time to kill a 32k hitpoint mob, even if half can't make it.

When you consider almost all of those are pulled instantly and dead within mere minutes, it isn't -quite- so bad. Yes you need to log in quickly, but there is no "raiding / in-game" period unless you're the person tracking it. You log in and you're forming groups and the dragon is incoming and dead and you're done and porting out, all within 10 minutes or so. I see certain Class R guilds prep for a Venril Sathir and Trakanon for like 1-2 hours on a weekly basis. Thats more time spent than Class C takes to kill 5-10 bosses.

It's still a big commitment don't get me wrong!

Class C is more about prep, though. Sometimes you get low #s engages, need to have consumables, be pre buffed in several different locations. Just managing 4 60s or so during the repop windows can get tiresome constantly getting rebuffed. Then there's tracking / FTEing which can be brutal in their own right. But it's really only a few days a week. Currently can't even put in that much atm but will when I can again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When i was in HoT we did cool guild events. We did a PvP battle royal in cabilis. The theme was WWf style. The show was just as important as the match. Took alot of skill to fight flex taunt people and try to come up with way to get elevated to simulate top rope jumps. Feign death to pretend to be knocked down for a few secs etc.

We did have this one guy who showed up alot. Some noob with a green tag for a name. Yeah we guilded him. :P

ill tell you how it works. the good people quit. the greedy people rule. youll have your toes stepped on and ur nose bloodied till you hate the game and the current class and raid scene. then youll question everything including your own sanity.

somewhere in that process you may get some nice nodrop pixels and later wonder was it worth it.

classic? classic.

Cucumbers might have something to say about that.

How do you know when you have beaten EQ? If it means clearing all the content in velious, then you will prob "beat" velious within a month of launch.
