Since TR, TMO and recently VD have collectively killed the vast majority for the last month, if you want to kill dragons and gods, you have to be in one of those 3 guilds. Obviously, there are only going to be a few successful raiding guilds at one time, and these guilds are going to be getting the bulk of the attention simply because success = drama.
The rest of P99's guilds are not 'feeder' guilds; it just happens that players must move from a smaller, casual guild to a larger guild if they want to do the bigger raids. These few raiding guilds are a minority on the server overall; there are plenty of people who have more fun leveling that new alt up than in gearing up a main in raid armor, and they and the guilds they make are the majority of the server in terms of population, if not in terms of drama per capita.

When 7th Hammer and Lanys merged I had quite an eye opener. On Lanys there was almost always one major guild and one lesser competitor. After the merger there were like 7 guilds that were in the hardcore raiding scene. Guilds competed for players, not the other way around.

I don't know if this was asked yet, but will all mobs be repopping shortly after the time VP is released? I should hope so, if only a few mobs are in window for those 48 hours it wouldn't help small guilds very much.

Bump.

Not trying to be annoying, just I think many people are looking for a response to this.

I know it wasnt an official answer but I think people said that since its content its going to have to be a full repop.

This hasn't always been the case so I'm still not sure. I agree every content patch should mean a full repop but the staff haven't publicly said anything about whether this is a policy or not.

Did you know Ludic, Garwood, Detlev, Stillnight, Erat from Lanys?

I played in '99-'02. Ludic and his RL dad, Garwood started Chosen of Norrath. He was wheelchair bound and his life revolved around EQ. I know he died a few years after I quit; I felt such a loss because CoN was an amazing family. I know the uber guild was Conquest when I left. They were the only one's able to go to VP at the time. Zero competition from other guilds.

What do you remember from those years?

I support CSR having no presence in VP regarding disputes or CR.

Smart move man, people gotta learn to manage their own politics and accept the results of their actions. EQ has this great system of penalizing reckless play, things tend to work themselves out naturally.

It's like throwing bread crumbs to pigeons , before you know it, you're the crazy old lady wandering the park covered in bird shit. Don't feel bad for them, definitely don't feed them.
