sure nihilum is better at organizing and pve, but the way that they got there can be discussed, i think server would have looked different if holocaust wasn't banned for doing the exact same thing nihi was doing back in end of 2011.

gm corruption has been confirmed by paypal logs, i'm doing what i can to give the resistance the tools they need to organize, it's up to them to use it

i'll join whomever shows to be the true competitor but i will quit b4 i join nihilum

I did not play here back in 2011. And if that's the case, it sucks.

Let's speak and see what can be done.

I'm all for Teams99, plan to play it, love the concept of item loot, and believe item loot needs to be on Red99. That said, I really hope T99 succeeds but I seriously doubt it will.

Bottom Line Up Front: There isn't a box hero that possesses the time, dedication, and leadership ability to lead more than 50 players to victory. Simply put, that is why Nihilum wins - better leadership and a very strong dedicated core.

Main problem with Teams99 - the people and environment they build, which turns new players off.

Let's pretend Teams99 is a perfect world:
Assumption 1: Teams99 will be a two-side faction
Assumption 2: Population steady at 300 and perfectly split down the mid
Assumption 3: The sides will need a built-up, united, dedicated, core force of at least 30 players (necessary to drop high-end content) that possess the right class mixture [e.g. 40 druids, bards, and wizards are not going to work...]

How this plays out:

Scenario 1. Two-sided factions - 150 players on each side
- 60% (90 players) of a side will remain low to mid-range level (sub 45) and unable to compete for high-end content.
- of the 40% (60 players) remaining, 20% (12 players) will lack experience in PvE and PvP.
- The remaining 48 are the only heroes the side can depend on for victory
- There isn't a strong enough leader to unite these 48; no one will follow Andis, Lite, or Checkraise long-term and Nizzar is staying on R99... \
- The 48 high-end players will experience infighting and begrudge each other over loots, greed, and lack of desire to help one another over past events.
- The infighting will lead to lack of team focus, the side won't achieve resist gear (holistically) to compete for end-game content.
- The original 60% of the population will jump ship to the other side, hoping for victory, disliking high-level leadership, disliking team gripes and complaints, disliking members of their team, etc. and eventually quit
- You now have a ~100 pop server of the core 48 on each side - welcome to Red99 w/ item loot
