Y'all have fun with your set pve raid schedules that syncs with everybody's obesity goal monitors. Don't forget to stand for at least 30 seconds every two hours to prevent embolus clots from killing y'all. And gratz Colhate for dropping out of college to ensure the snow is well fluffed in elf sim.

Lite Hype.

You sound upset empire is accomplishing what you can not with cool normal bros on a very casual raid schedule. Stop being so salty and do something about it. Maybe if your groupd of <Friends> wasn't so toxic you could recruit people to contest? But no one cares cause you routinely shit on your members.

Pass thanks though

Some people don't want to join a zerg guild for raid content. I don't see why that's so difficult to understand or, God forbid, acknowledge. I personally don't see the fun in locking down raid content through sheer numbers alone. One of the main draws of this server is supposed to be large-scale PvP fights, particularly over raid content. It adds an additional element to the endgame besides gearing. However, that draw is marginalized when a bunch of people flock to a single guild to zerg raid content. It just seems counterinuitive to promote a playstyle that will ultimately shorten the lifespan of the server as well as diminish one of its better qualities.

Just like every other person to complain about the size of guilds you fail to realize you're playing the wrong video game.

There is a reason on every single PVP server in the history of EQ the same exact thing has happened. It's not the people, or the server - it's the game. The draw of this server is to duplicate the classic experience which is exactly what has happened.

On a red server one guild dominating all the raid content is the natural balancing point for the server. People may not like it but it is the only outcome given enough time for a server like this. There is two main reasons for this.

The main draw of this game is character progression.

A secondary draw to game is UNFAIR pvp. Everyone wants there character to be stronger then the other guys so they can beat them up and prove their dick bigger.

Noone really wants a fair fight. Everyone wants to be stronger then there opponent in some way.

You might not like it or not be able to admit that but it's the truth.

Given that is the two main draws for this game two guilds actually competing with each other over raid content makes absolutely no sense. People really want UNFAIR pvp and people really want character progression. This will always lead to 1 dominate guild.

If the experiment was to repeat the same thing would happen. 1 completely dominate guild and a few other guilds taking the scraps.

sure feels good stomping the self-proclaimed "pvp guild" with fewer numbers as they hide on alts to complain about "zerging"

what did vindi drop, btw?

We pushed back your first wave of zerglings and plugged them out.

In typical zerg fashion x2 was in the second wave. Prime time zergage was approaching. So we simply just called it for the day. Went outside, good times were had.

Wasnt on any alt saying anything about zerging. Lol , you and your fantasy quest

Lol'd

I was convinced by your retorting post till this snippet of info. If by going outside you mean logging in your Empire alt coz its raid time or logging in your 12th alt to level. Then yes, you went outside.

zerg guild ... sheer numbers...

Funny since most guilds did it with more people on live... and you could resist things like fear reliably with 255 resists on live, and things like Zlandicar's stun were single target not AE, and there were no luclin era flurry drakes in ntov... etc....and they still needed more...

The reason people don't forumquest as hard/as much is because on live people didn't take the game so seriously (well not this seriously). Forumquesting is mostly people bitching and crying about losing because they can't hold a guild together full of greedy ego driven players, and framing it in a way that tries to make it appear they want 'more PvP' or 'what is best for the server'.

The rest is people bragging or trolling about something. There is really no value in anything that's posted on boards anymore, if there ever was.

Yeah, it makes sense why it would happen. It is just disappointing that there isn't more competition. In Live, there were expansions in the pipe. Here, though, once a character gets geared, that's it. They can fight other players, but there's no new content to look forward to. With more guilds competing for raid content, there would be more large-scale PvP and people wouldn't use up the remaining raid content as quickly.

[Kergan]

There is a pretty heavy churn in players here. For every person who has been around since classic there are 50 that played for 6 months, got geared and then quit. That keeps the top guild consistently raiding and not getting bored, disbanding and PVPing for the fun of it.

[simp403]

Hmm, that seems alright. It does not seem conducive to large scale fights, but I guess that's just reality.
