Most non riot/vanq guilds only have viable kill force for like a 5 hour window of a mobs 16 hour window, at best. So it's a bit luck of the draw.

Have people park, maybe do a HoT the night before and park everyone there.

Literally you need one person to track the mob. It's not that hard, many of these guilds have hundreds of active/semi active players. Especially if you offer incentive, whatever you decide.

When it spawns, send out the bat phone. If it's late as shit, it's late as shit, you can shut it down whenever you want. Hell, you can do HoT while waiting in window you just need to zone out and back in to go for it.


IDK. Seems pretty fair and open. And it's pretty close to how it would be in live on a lot of servers in era i'm guessing... so if you're not going to compete for these mobs, please do not complain otherwise. I'm not even being a dick, but if your guild is uninterested to chill in tov for hours, you really don't care about raiding. AND THATS COOL.

If your guild isn't interested in clearing PoG trash for hours, you don't really care about raiding.

Those aren't in the game, they were deleted by the server staff who felt there was too much end-game content and it was overwhelming the players. Or something.

Sorry you don’t got

You're right, a bunch of nerds theorycrafting ways to min/max raid encounters = not caring

I dunno, I never liked being handed free stuff, I very much prefer getting it on my own

just feels better than elf-marxism

i dont play on blue anymore but i assume from what it sounds your guild has basically absorbed pretty much all the hardcore sockers (which is the natural evolution of this server anyways so i dont really blame you ) and therefore have no real competition with a monopoly on all the raid content and just splitting loot between 200 people is...
...basically is elf-marxism

but grats on all your pixels

We will get like 30-40 on weeknights between like 5pm-10pm. Maybe a few more on weekends. Its not really worth trying to compete in places like north with those numbers for only those hours vs 150 players 24/7 guild. Lots of wasted time for most of the time not getting the kills. Its worth it to have a life outside of computers though and also not be a huge zerg.

Guilds just come and go on p99 it's been like that for a decade

Riot would be dead already, if it weren't for food stamps bag limits

It's interesting to keep a guild alive via GM enforced paliative treatment, it's unprecedented.

Normally Riot would be disbanded already, given just how badly it performs

Normally certain Vanquish players would be banned already, given just how badly they behave. Or maybe not quite yet, since classic policy required at least two or three strikes against an account.

8.1 Abuse

Policy

Abuse is defined as any activity that is exercised with the intent of disrupting the over all play environment of one or more players.

Examples of Abuse:
.
Hate Mongering - participation in or propagation of Hate literature, behavior, or propaganda related to real -world characteristics.
Sexual Abuse or Harassment - untoward and unwelcome advances of a graphic and sexual nature. This includes virtual rape, overt sexual overtures, and stalking of a sexual nature.
Attempting to Defraud a Customer Service Representative - Petitioning with untrue information with the intention of receiving benefits as a result. This includes reporting bug deaths, experience or item loss, or accusing other players of wrongdoing without basis for it.
Using Threats of Retribution by GM Friends - attempting to convince another player that they have no recourse in a disagreement because favoritism is shown to one of the parties by the Verant or Guide staff.

...

If this is the first incident for the accused, they will be suspended from the EverQuest servers for one week. If this is the second or later incident, the player will be banned from EverQuest.

...

8.2 Disruption

Policy

Disruption is defined as any activity that is disruptive to the game play of others, though not necessarily with the intent to do so. Disruption has been sub-categorized into major and minor types.

...

For minor disruptions, three warnings will be issued. The perpetrator will then be suspended for a minimum period of three days. For major disruptions, two warnings will be issued, followed by suspension for a discretionary period with a one-week minimum. The next major disruption offense following suspension for major disruption will result in the player being banned.

...

Banning

Once an account has been deleted, GM-Mgmt notifies the other GMs that are online that the character was banned. The GM collects the names of all of the characters played by the account that has been banned and sends them to the Head GM for posting in the Message of the day.

Each day, a section of the MOTD will be updated to include the day’s banning activities. Every character played by every account that was banned will be posted on this list. This serves two purposes. First, it lets everyone that has ever played with any one of the characters know the disposition of the character. Second, it creates a larger list, making a larger example, and offering a greater intimidation factor to those that might consider exploiting. This list should also appear as a cumulative “Banned to Date” list that is available via the News button. Again, this is to provide a tangible reminder of Verant’s dedication to providing a playable environment.

The official customer service response to the banning of players is one of regret, as we regret any actions resulting in loss of customers. It is unfortunate that actions like these must occur to keep EverQuest enjoyable for the majority of the players.
