Stop the Socking

[Erati]

Can we add Tranix to the mob list and make him R/C/FFA?

I want my rotation Crown since I cant get a the real Crown from PD [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

also Fanguru I agree that some zones/encounters work better for races than others

VS/Inny/Naggy/Vox/Trak are just some examples where racing requires trainers and herp-derping around dungeons that contain other players usually

Sev/Fay/Tal/Gore make the only logical sense for a race to take place and actually sound somewhat fun, but therein lies the problem with racing....so many variables !

However, the barrier of entry for racing is ridiculously small, which I understand as the biggest reason for people to push for it which I can accept and get behind their way of thinking

Anywho - I still don't get what you mean by lower variance and increased windows, can you explain this to me like I'm an ogre?

Sorry about that. I typed it in a rush on my way to a meeting. I meant them pretty interchangeably. It would read better as "Shorter windows or Longer Windows" either/or really.

Longer windows is the least favorable because of socking, but it does space mobs much more quickly than shorter windows. This way they aren't always clustered together and always spawning Fri-Sun (currently).

The cons of that is it burns out trackers/socking.

Shorter windows would likely keep mobs spawning together for longer, but reduces the amount of time people would spend socking (if any time was spent socking). This would be coupled with something like doing the ole fashioned foot race or some shit. Let's get realistic here, nothing in EQ is 100% skill, there is a lot of luck involved on all sides, so it's never going to be a perfect science.

So then compete. Make steps toward competing. Stop expecting things to be handed out or instanced. This isnt WoW, this isn't new MMO's. Everyone has an excuse for everything these days; it's embarrassing.

Not everyone is home online all day every day Clark.

Gotta find something that can allow both the hardcore and the casual to play together if you're keen on keeping the FFA cycle.

You can keep your "try harder" mentality in VP since that's Class C until Velious.

At this point Scoresby GM's should just full wipe both servers and restart them; because the majority of population (aside from anyone who has joined in the last few months) is being RETARDED.

Acting more entitled than any MMO server community I've ever been a part of.

The amount of people being crybabies about wanting free dragon items isn't even measurable. I'd rather read about someone's Crushbone camp being KS'd.

Step 1: Try not thinking negative thoughts about people on the other side of yours
Step 2: Try to look for valid reasons as to why they might think and say the things they think and say regarding mob distribution and raid rules rather than carelessly taking the easy way out by attributing those things to invalid reasons.
Step 3: Profit as everyone comes together in united love and harmony.

The word "compete" and the idea that this game should be the entire focus of your life shouldn't be mutually inclusive.

I think that's what people are going for here.

I remember when I sat on seafury island with 14 other people.

Glad I moved to red.

Is there some kind of compendium on the rotation rules? Not that I'll ever consider going back to "5x more players then content can support", but it would be nice to be able to make some sense of this rotation which seems to be the topic of endless debate without much progress.

Is forumquesting & ruleslawyering really that much more fun then actually doing stuff ingame through your own means?

So much more that you play on a server that rotates seafury spawns?

If red is so great how it is atm, why does every red player try to get more people to migrate?

I played a char for a bit on red and it was empty, bugged, and nothing like a classic experience..

I love people that believe to have the monopoly on deciding what is "too much" playtime.

So how is that guy that has been camping tranix for days (weeks) on end doing?

Move to red, I can assure you no such circus is found there. Other kind of clowns are there, but they are entertaining and not able to monopolize aspects of the game.

Can you elaborate on how red is "bugged" and "not a classic experience"? Its the same as blue bugwise and its as much a classic experience afaik. Sure there is a group xp bonus, do you consider that an issue? If its not that I don't understand your remark here..

The amount of people depends on the time of the day, of course.

As a euro player I don't mind, I can come home after work and farm 2-3 hours with few people online (free camps in guk, sol B, sebilis, chardok, droga, ..), and after that there are 120+ online and its time to contest some stuff. (ingame kekeke)
