I agree with Tiddlywinks. Make it Classic.

You cannot make it classic without restarting the server on the proper expansion timeline because that is exactly what is causing the high end congestion in the first place.

Saying "make it classic" is like telling people in bumper to bumper traffic to "drive faster". Yea, doesn't solve anything.

Some people have this medical disability where they come after an entire guild instead of members directly responsible.

TMO TMO TMO TMO on repeat or IB IB IB IB .

You do realize that maybe one or two people are the cause of all these nasty little corruption problems and the rest of them just show up when the batphone goes off with absolutely 0 dealings in suspicious or server subversion activities.

Learn to focus your blame and single out problematic individuals and maybe you can get something done. Saying every member (including newly tagged people) of entire guilds are scumbag, corrupting overlords just makes 0 sense.

Yes Halmir, the slow expansion release schedule will compress the high end. Non-Classic mechanics are getting in the way of allowing the Server's players to police themselves, as Server Staff have admitted they would prefer.

keep variance, add a pre variance, end of story

[Nirgon]

Remove FTP rule, replace with most damage done rule

Remove variance

Let Sirken sort out important, solvable matters like corpses lost, new player disputes (read: player retention is a good thing), investigating and catching RMTers or enforcing the naming policy.

Being a "who hit the mob first" janitor is far beneath his skills as a friendly face that is determined to do good in Norrath.

Some people do enjoy naked PoF corpse runs. If you ever get in that type of bind, let me know and I'll single-handedly get you CRed (I will not provide rezzing or getting you to fear, but I'll drop your body at the fear zone in solo assuming CT isn't up).

I too wish the reasonable majority Xasten talks about would speak up.

Straight Classic. Then we have nothing to blame but ourselves for the shitty raid scene.

[Nirgon]

Yeah dropping aggro and all that is so much of a regression from using key board macros and duct tape to hit Venril Sathir first.

Engaging a raid mob with the intentions of being fucking screwballs and acting stupid should result in deaths and people getting wiped (exactly what no aggro on a healed tank will do).

Sounds classic to me.

Go fizzle some ice comets big Mehrk. How dare you sir.

The only problem you are describing is the GMs lack of punishing people that deserve it. Instead of dealing with the only real problem that p99 has you think the GMs should be off doing menial tasks like enforcing the naming policy(by the way, is that guy named Cannabis, which is the EXACT name mentioned in Rogean's no-no name example still level 60?)

Does it sound classic for GMs to let people zerg mobs while attempting to grief each other with absolutely no interventions? Certainly not in any case I recall.

Then don't?

I'm not? I've never joined a guild or raided in the 2~ish years I've played here, and I don't really log on anymore. See I want to relive EQ1 raid nostalgia and have fun but the way it's handled by the players is so god-awful that I choose to do something that isn't... what's the word... completely fucking terrible.

Btw, thanks for the offer Falkun.

Remove on Velious release.

Wasn't Vulak tied to the other dragons? Or was that patched down the road? aka If you pulled Vulak when other dragons were up, they would come and assist Vulak.
