Step 1) Said guild knows that Naggy could spawn within the next 12 hours, so all mains camp out in lair.

Step 2) Said guild keeps a character with TRACK (or showeq) up in the zone until dragon spawns.

Step 3) dragon spawns

Step 4) Guild Tracker posts a twitter message to all guild members tied to thier cell phones to "LOG ON - DRAGON SPAWN"

Step 5) Said guild kills dragon in 30 seconds

Step 6) QQ on forums by guilds who haven't thought to use this method of mobilization.

.
Just curious, what keeps other people from following your twitter feed?

Name of twitter account reflects character in game, and access is granted when proven they are who they say they are =P

Yea I know who they are, and just so you know, I'm a BIGGER fan! I thought maybe you were trying to say you were a member or something, haha. I know, kinda naive.

IB just put in a system that works, they have been using this same system for many many months. You can take out most of the players and replace them with whoever and it still works. I'm not saying it's the right way to do things. But EQ is about mobilization and they usually win. It helps to have a ton of guild members too. If you want to know how to beat them, just beat them at their own game.

And maybe training their tracker helps!? IMA KIDDING!
Problem being is what's happening now is a leftover from the poopsock glory days. The leftover -- the variance -- isn't classic and isn't what went down on live. Live never had a variance. The people complaining about rotation (which even I don't agree with) are quick to point out that it wouldn't work here but don't say a fucking word about the variance.

EQ mobilization was about having various targets up and diplomacy and racing between guilds who would go after certain targets (think server goes up, leader PMs leader and each states their intentions and both guilds go on their merrily way or one says F you and /ignore).

Signing on when the thing spawns and SEQing the spawn time (as per DA) isn't classic. Wake the fuck up

Playing online games is cool these days. Playing online games to the point of having no life outside of said game... not cool now and was not cool in 1999.

You dont understand what happened here. The players where not logged in when the mob poped. They where doing other things IE RL (maybe). They were advised a mob had poped via social media and logged in for 30 min. The mob was killed they logged back out. saying they played "24/7" is the exact opposite to what happened. I cant even load my clubs, drive to the range hit a bucket of balls in 30 min.

Now i am not trying to defend IB in anyway,nor am i mad (bro) i just think some people posting here are clueless and do not know how to manage time.

I've been saying it for 10 months, but we need simulated patch days. No variance + simulated patch days would be just like it was on live. I still don't see how this is so difficult.

I just like to spout out overarching statements at groups of people to irritate them.
