Death of WoW


It's happening everywhere. Adapt to a less hardcore mentality not because CSG is a thorn in your side, but because, realistically, you don't have the juice. No one does. Relax, the server will still be here if AG takes 65 minutes to kill Sevalak instead if 60. ( btw we cothed up and killed everything from PoM to Sevalak other than the wurms which we ran out of time and botched).



I don't think the goodwill that's keeping players in the game will last forever. After all, we still have months until the next expansion, Legion. In the past it was relatively easy to deal with these long "content droughts" by fighting our way through harder versions of the existing dungeons, but for World of Warcraft's increasingly older and comparatively devoted "old guard," that's simply not possible anymore. So many of us are approaching middle age now. Many others have already reached it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

It's partly why Taulbee quit earlier this year. He finds he just can't stomach the commitments necessary for his former achievements. When his current guild asked him to start raiding four nights a week to progress through one of Warlords of Draenor's raid instances, he just walked away and started devoting his time to games he could enjoy to their fullest on his free time. It's a mindset that's shared by Michael, our former guild leader, who hasn't played World of Warcraft since 2012 and who spends much of the free time he formerly devoted to games like World of Warcraft in shorter, match-based multiplayer games like League of Legends.

"I have time for raiding, to be honest," he says, "but there's a difference between having time and being able to say 'Yes, you can rely on me to be on from 7 to 11 on this night.'"

World of Warcraft's future thus depends on its ability to adapt to these circumstances

Yea I got sucked into competitive games, but found myself missing the more communal atmosphere of old MMOs. I look at p99 as having the potential to be a socially healthy thing like a bowling league or something. Right now, its more of a heroin alley -- where addicts chase dragons all night. I think there has to be some way out of the status quo.

'Cept that isn't particularly true either on P99 or out in the greater world. Progression on P99 is determined mostly by what guild a player chooses to join; success in the larger world depends primarily on the wealth of one's parents. The few exceptions to either simply serve to illustrate the general trend.

-------------------------------------------------

As for the raid situation....I've said it before, I'll say it again, the folks who want change are going about it wrong when they try to work within the system. Leave, organize a mass exodus, have a sit-in, do *something*. They'll continue ignoring you until you make yourselves impossible to ignore. If change can be made--that's debatable at this point--it'll take some sort of shock to motivate it. Nice guys finish last. I don't much care one way or the other--I don't raid to any great degree and don't plan on doing so--but I feel bad when I see decent folks like CSG beating their heads against the probverbial wall.

Nilbog has said he won't ever make changes to his vision of classic and if that means people leave the server so be it. He's not here to make people happy. No reason not to think the current shitshow raidscene falls into the same category.

Having said that there is precedent for change in the form of the class system that came in. Unfortunately that silver lining is a few years down the line.

Nah kid. I said that as in life what you get out of a game like Everquest is directly proportionate to how much time and effort you put forth. That doesn't mean EQ is life it means that it shares that same principle with real life.

Now please learn to read and try not to take your liberally minded ignorance and spin what I say. Go back to phiny with the rest of BDA who couldn't cut it.

Couldn't cut it? Lol this isn't some prestigious accreditation or test, it's about a central gang of about 200 players without lives who control a server of 1000 because they bitch and whine the most.

You're not doing anything impressive by sitting in NToV waiting for some bullshit COTH pull, you're doing NOTHING

the only thing that real life and eq have in common is that your government subsidies pay for both

Turn on pvp in raid zones

I say let the hardcore raiders keep their pixel faucet. Its the only source of wealth in their life that they have.

I often feel sorry for them as I think about it while I bang hot Sodor chicks every other night.
