I honestly don't remember when exactly when my Vox raid was (I was in college, and lots of pot was involved), so let's say it was in PoP (10/2002- 2/2003). EQ was released in March of 1999, which means there were open Vox raids on Bristlebane less than four 4 years after release.

P99 was released in October of 2009. Even if we imagine that Vox wasn't around until the next year that's still seven years that Vox has been killed on this server. In other words, it's taken about twice as long here before we got open dragon raids as it took on Bristlebane.

And that was just on Bristlebane ...



So look, I'm not saying top guilds never monopolized the dragons on live: clearly they did. But just as clearly, not all servers were the same: Bristlebane didn't have open raids until PoP while planarity's server had them in Velious. If we tried hard enough we could probably find a server where they started in Luclin.

Open dragon raids are classic. They happened on some servers during the classic period on live, and even if they didn't on other servers, they certainly happened a lot faster than seven years after release.

Luclin/pop is not classic

It was also classic for a force of 4-6 to swoop in and snipe a dragon, happened on Bristlebane all the time.

Honestly I never heard of that: not only did it not happen on my raid, but it wasn't even something that I was worried could happen. Since the rotation was GM-enforced I'd imagine anyone doing that would have gotten a ban ... but one should never underestimate the things neckbeards will do, so I can't say for certain that it never happened.

Lol thats your first mistake right there..... they can barely lead csg between 3 guilds what makes you think they can lead this?


also stop trying to get casuals to get dragons they cant.... you want dragons everyone? cool go on test servers and learn the fuckin fights get the resist gear and try for fte. not hard

How do people learn fights if the encounters they want to do are dead all the time? Shouldn't have to learn on a different server.

Sharing is caring, and not sharing = -population, no new croots for you guys, etc

Didn't think Aftermath would be salty about a Naggy/Vox agreement...as someone said it's not your TOV dragons on the line at all.

PS - rip your nan, cancer sucks

Last I checked, nobody liked being forced to adhere to rules that go against them... especially for guilds that don't put in the effort to get free shit.

We're talking about 1 Naggy and 1 Vox per month.

"casual guilds don't deserve that because they don't put the effort in"

Really? How about the point of P99 in the first place... reliving your 1999 experience, getting some nostalgia, fighting a dragon you haven't seen in game in 18 years.

Are you saying there's a shortage in raid targets that the big hitters can do?

[Convict]

why are there so many clown forumquesters in aftermath?

dont see a single awakened player crying about this agreement or casuals getting "free pixels" only aftermath posters

[danzig]

Six pages in and someone starts talking about fascism. Some of you guys are so wack.

Sounds fun! Good idea bud, if I'm not working I'll come do bad bad things to Vox on my alt.

Rathe server had rotations. It was the best.
