Thanks for another bullet point for tomorrows "Im so alone" thread

At the very worst case you'll have to let your corpse rot.

Meaning you can get it back 7 days later in EC after a free GM summon

Can't remember anyone being corpse camped into decay really, you think empire people would squander time camping fear? They might do the effort for some key opposition players, but not for joe-random-thunderdome (which is me!)

its impossible not to get in unless you already have a long history

beats blue really

How is zero chance of getting loot on red unless you are in the inner circle less stressful..

Actually you are right, that is not stressful. But that does remove the carrot on the stick to play on Red, which is so much worse.

It is called Loot and Scoot. You say that in /ooc and you are allowed to get your corpse back.

Besides, what made EQ great and fun back on live was the mystique and thrill of the unknown. Now a days most people have a high level toon and know exactly what to expect on every raid, in every zone, on every encounter. Being genuinely afraid again while traveling Norrath is what keeps the game interesting in 2016.

What is the point?

You quoted my own post with the point a few posts back

People do not want the added stress of PvP added to leveling.

Lots of very good raid loots are on rot status already for Empire. You will get gear if you join, and melee classes may get gear their first day. Of course, you need to put in your time to get the top-tier raid drops that core members don't already have, but isn't that how it should be?

Don't expect to get Vulak loot in a month, but with a single guild taking down every single Vulak, your chances are higher than starting fresh on Blue (where every guild is Empire sized, and they compete for each Vulak).

Some people don't. Some people do and have not yet realized it. They just need to try it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

can you explain how empire maintains such a large roster, if they don't award loot to everyone?

i can, since with a glorious 3% RA i was still awarded various spells and an item or two

you won't find faster / fairer loot then there, just don't expect to pass up the veterans while on trial .. seems reasonable no?

friends somehow is hard to get into, can't deny they very clique

so is empires core but at least they tag people

heck i offered to join friends just for pvp and fun, never even got a reply. I find that funny as a neutral reputation shm that likes to support

never did shit to you guys so whatever right, lets just not pretend they are trying to grow into a competitor

Dunno I'm not friends.

We are going in circles here, before I said if more people thought like you we would not have these daily red threads.
