The number one recruiting tool nihilum has and always has, is how awful the other guilds have been here. Pixels is a distant second.

I will say, though, Casey is by far the coolest/funniest dude on the server...but you disappeared!

Even when Kringe took over and brought together like seven different guilds for a week and a half, it still never felt from the outside or from aim chat like a choesive group that could be built upon. Now I'm not blaming Kringe for that, he got a chance to deal with the same special human beings I did for a couple of weeks, but I've just never seen here outside of maybe holocaust for the first couple of months, a real guild with a real identity compete, and even holo had tons of problems.

I honestly don't get it. You have mentioned it several times, why isn't there enough people that can log in once a week to fuck with Nihilum's scheduled raiding. It only takes 2-5 full timers to organize the casuals I would think. I understand not being able to compete with Nihilum's ability to bat phone in 30+ people but when it is known a week in advance when everyone needs to log in I don't get it.

The opposition would still probably lose but why not fuck around with 20-30 people and see what you can do.

There really aren't that many full timers outside of Nihilum, which is the biggest problem, but if you are putting in 30+ hours a week and aren't in Nihilum why haven't you organized a strike on Sundays.

Rexx used to have the neckbeard, but I think he shaved it. He lost his power.

For a few reasons I believe. First, there's a small number of them who just don't give a fuck about pve, cwall for example. There's nothing wrong with that this is an MMO and you create your own fun, but the majority of people do care about pve to some degree. The confused "anti pve" message the opposition gives off at times turns people off.

There's also the tin foil hat wearers who think rogean flipped the switch on them purposely. While it sucked for them and their strategy, I hope the rogean stream confirmed that rogean has no clue what the fuck is happening on red and didn't flip the switch to favor a team over another. They also would rather cry about variance then use the current system to their advantage to snipe overlapping targets.

A lot of them play this game as ForumQuest, so they don't want to risk dying in game even if it means impeding nihilums progress. A lot of them just give up really easy. A lot of them go about this whole thing the wrong way. I guarantee if they toned down the rhetoric in ooc which pisses a lot of nihilum members off and spoke with nizzar he would throw them a dragon or two to gear up with and get their members motivated. But pride will never allow that for them. Nothing wrong with pride, but I'd rather be humble today in order to brag tomorrow.

There's also the issue that lite is a polarizing figure so I doubt he would be able to really make much happen with the heresy core on a regular basis, and vice versus lite has a small loyal following who as we've seen before will follow him into the yeti caves to their certain doom.

This is all why I'm excited for team99 with new people without baggage and bs.

In their defense, it can be incredibly demoralizing to work hard on the other side when people use you to level safely and then peace out to nihilum. But that's the nature of MMO's across the spectrum, and you just gotta suck it up and keep on plowing.

[Nirgon]

People want pixels, not glory.

If you are actually a threat, there's stealth content fixes and box resets.

A shame really.

A new server isn't worth putting out without mechanical fixes. But I do think one is needed given the disgusting history I witnessed. Hopefully the teams server will draw closer and the new PvP dev will be revealed to us... so we may go to them with our finalized list of issues.

[heartbrand]

The Nirgon tin foil hat line there is part of the problem. Shrug.

New blood would be nice, but you have multiple players talking about how much they will grief everyone on the new server, which runs the risk of alienating the new players. I am starting to think that certain players are not interested in actually playing EQ (PvP or PvE), rather they find pleasure in others pain. Maybe some of the "box heroes" were AFK long enough so that most have forgotten they really just want to burn it all.
