What always amused me with this one was the fact 'alarti' is the Greek word for salt.

Wow, this is not in RNF yet. Good job, folks.

It was quite obvious some of the core members had nearly complete BiS (even some that didn't track). Meanwhile, all those that joined in Velious (when I started playing in a Casual Guild) were dicked, even those that tracked. Like those that left, tracked a bunch and won mobs against Forsaken/Asgard, and then didn't get their sleeper robe.

I was in Rampage for the last 3 months and I looted 24 Velious raid items in my short stay. They showered new guys in loot - because they were getting it all! Last Looted Date was a big deal that played a large factor in winning vulak and other items. The people who went down that track didn't get jack, because they gambled for more. I could have cared less about my last looted date and went for every 2nd best option with 10-20 hp less per slot and ended up way ahead for it.

The raid scene eventually boils down to 5-7 guys doing all of the tracking work while everyone else logs in for a kill. People burn out when they think their own guildies aren't doing enough. This mentality was magnified when FTE races started on both sides of A/A (long after rampage was gone.) On top of that the raid rules changed multiple times and they always seemed to come down when the other side was losing the most.

Agreed. The RL attacks were over the line. Eccezan also got stalked.

Remember that voicemail left at his work, "hey, are you raiding tonight"

"Main differences are that casual guilds really can get epics for their members now, excepting shit like warrior epic is still insanely competitive."

Add mage, wizard, cleric, shaman, shadow knight, paladin to that list of epics you can't get in a casual guild, unless you are willing to buy the MQ from the no life neckbeards that poop sock the spawns. Raiding targets are non-existent unless you no-life batphone this game. Cheers to your mom's basement.

RL attacks over what happens in a game is nuts.

Of course there are some, like back then there was some white trash guy posting on here and in Youtube, bragging and smack talking... I know he was tracked down too. He kind of asked for it when he put so much of himself out there almost daring people to come at him.

The eccezan blog was great to read when it was updated weekly.

you can definitely get cleric epic in a casual guild, probably paladin too, and I would even venture to guess Wizard can be had [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
