Zero Reasons not to Wipe

Every time I even begin to think about shaking thinks up I just remind myself of how it used to take three hours for people to form up in south ro and buff for the most trivial of encounters.

More or less fun than no pvp, contests, players?

BTW 100% support transfer

I'd rather farm shit on a dead box or not log on at all than wait three hours for people like sickpuppy and Coshigga to stop farming droga and show up while refreshing resist disease on Andis for the third time in the interim.

Specifically forest loops?

Regardless of this phenomenon, and what causes it, there are a few realities:

1. Nobody is leaving Nihilum, and it isn't breaking up
2. The server pop on red is returning to dark ages
3. Yellow text ain't bringing us back to 200 at peak times

So, would you rather stick to your guns, and stand by the no wipe policy as the server dwindles to nothing to appease those who currently have a stranglehold, or would you rather start the cycle again, and hundreds of people swarm back in playing classic PVP?

As to Raze's concern, once again dude, I am not suggesting this happen every six months, but only now because it seems absolutely necessary. It has been two years.

Like I have said, a wipe is something I'd be against. You might not like the people that play, play yourself, or not like the current standing of the server but it doesn't change the fact that people do play. I'm not resetting the server on whims, and also I'm not responsible for doing so. I occasionally get feedback and try to communicate. Would I rather.. is irrelevant. I'd rather there be a constantly rotating weekly server with Highlander rules and reincarnation. The point I'm getting at is.. there are > 0 reasons not to wipe the server.

Ready to have a bunch of 10-15 man guilds that do seb and pvp but web Nihilum has a 100 man rosterx3 vP geared alts plugged into zones for lemmings style PvP it's not a viable option.

Forced to counterzerg under shit guild with shit leader spending 3 hours buffing and lfg while being told to follow a bard that doesn't selo your group and has your 30 members stream across 3 zones and get 1 shotted.

Classic. Vlassic.

Was referring to the guilds with huge rosters. I posed this same question a long time ago for the pve server, and the replies were that guilds were massive because there is variance. Here, the same thing happens and there is no variance, which led me to ask it again.



I'm just here chatting it up in r&f, not to the change the world. Although I have a vote in changing the world, you should keep in mind what a % of people want is relative to the people vocally asking for it.

I'm straight up saying.. it is within the power of the leading guilds to change the server as it stands. Why isn't that done? Is it only for loot?

[reddi lol]

Nothing will ever change. Only way to equal numbers for contesting is having server vs Nihilum. Sad as fuck. If you ad all their alts they plug into zone for PvP they out number the entire server x3. They farm uncontested so much they just keep retooling alts to make the numbers more and more in their favor.

I agree w HB - most nilly are actually good guys. Nizzar is the best guild leader hands down he knows every encounter and is leading the same core since classic so they synergiZe etter by default. But when you can Zerg the fuck out of everyone despite having the ear level advantage you snowball the disparities o the point of 0 opportunity and kill box.

Grats.

Considering the majority are blue ejects that are here for static spawn they don't give a fuck if box dies. They get to have everything they couldn't have on blue.

Disgusting. I'm disgusted in myself for being so immersed that I actually care enough to complain. I guess that's what happens when you hang in to the hope of an unbiased equal opportunity box and keep playing and hoping until finally your 100 days played across different toons and power leveling and realize nothing will change.

I think I summed up why. Opposition is mainly on awful time zones, is full of the people who bring RL attacks into the game, on average the people in the opposition are in their early 20's stoner types whereas most in nihilum are late 20's with families / jobs so the culture is far different (n word left and right in azrael but not in nihilum), azrael is full of cliques who don't help each other and its dog eat dog there (people like sickpuppy and sealer price gouging their own members) whereas in nihilum most people will help you at a moments notice with anything including gear / pl, competent leadership vs. awful leadership. It's completely night and day. Yes there are idiots in nihilum, yes there are good people in azrael (hi Larsen pal) but on the whole what I'm stating is pretty accurate. We would need a complete draft or something but I just don't see that ever happening because people take this game way too seriously in terms for their hatred of other players. Me personally ill play with anyone, but most people don't feel that way.

It would only be a "whim" if the server population were healthy, which it is not. A "whim" suggests that there are no problems and I just want this for personal reasons.

In addition, saying you wont wipe the server because thats the rule you made a while ago is like people saying pot should not be decriminalized "because its the law," i.e. not a reason. Also, im not asking for "Highlander rules and reincarnation." Im asking for a change that would temporarily disadvantage a tiny minority of outspoken Nihilum members and revitalize red 99 for the rest of us.

Because if you consider the leadership is unemployed and enjoy farming dragon pixels and then consider the underground market of RMT you could draw assumptions but I don't want to get banned for the 100th time namean?

Also see previous post about blue rejects and MQ ban receivers that play in that guild. Here they got a second chance. Nilly doesn't care about the health of your project you poured your sweat into. They want money, loot, and could care less if they had 30 online at peak hours all tagged Nihilum.

Plenty of people in nihilum aren't happy with the state of the server. But we aren't all going to disband and hold hands with Andis and lite because of it. The RMT accusations are dumb if there was RMT you'd see random people running around with COF's trak bps etc and yet you don't. Just make the fixes needed open up transfers and have a huge month long xp bonus and make sure it all happens before velious. Be bold and brave and try something new like item loot etc.
