In A/A you spend less time obtaining your goals, and as such the lower tier guilds are actually more hardcore as they will spend 50-100 times the man hours obtaining the same goals.

As a casual player in A/A you have the benefit of having raids available 24/7, so you can basically chose to raid whenever it suits you.

So is Aftermath or Awakened more friendly to casuals then? I see Aftermath has a 10% raid attendance before bidding on anything, what is the requirement in Awakened?

Do both of them allow people's alts to outbid mains?

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

No mention of CSG? We're killing Dain (when we can win the races [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]), Yeli, Tormax, etc every week. No mandatory raid attendance in Europa at least.

The problem with P99 raiding isn't that it is time intensive and you can never leave your computer (there are people in both guilds who will happily track and screen share), the problem is your phone can ring at 3:00am with a twitter alert saying CAZIC THULE CAZIC THULE CAZIC THULE CAZIC THULE.

There are probably 100 raid encounters a month that A/A responds to and almost none of them are during prime time. The reality is these dragons pop at all hours of the night and in the middle of the work day.

What makes maintaining raid attendance difficult is you have to be willing and able to drop IRL at the drop of a hat and rush to your computer for 30 minutes at any given time. Do you have to respond to every batphone? Of course not, but it also makes it so you essentially can not play your 'raiding' character because they have to be perma parked in nToV. it really sucks when you cant play your characters because there are dragons in window 24/7

I tried raiding for awhile and I just cant maintain the RA requirements playing the 2-3 hours a night during prime time that I am able to play. I got from 5:30-8:30 CST for gaming and that's about it - But I am not mad because EQ is not made for the weak and that is classic

Role playing rubbing thighs on passing hobbits to infuse them with the scent of 'ox' is a far superior use of time, anyways.

This is also not true. The main raid location is Temple of Veeshan, and most people are bound there. Casters can simply gate there, and melee can use a gate potion.

I thought you couldn't bind inToV anymore. I know my PoM coth got his bind removed.
