r99 vs vztz players
r99: r99 is their job/life/income and they take the game+forums super seriously
vztz: just a bunch of pals playing a game for fun

Pretty much this.

VZTZ no one was playing this game so hardcore or taking it so seriously. I just want this server to be as much fun as VZTZ was back in the day.

r99ers adjust work schedules around repops

Because if we ever engaged Gorenaire there would be 50 people on top of us in 3 seconds. Also gorenaire drops shit.

Confirmed by Heartbrand. These items are shit. Put variance in so we can kill other mobs that drop similar loot.

Dragon Hero Bracer
Runed Bolster Belt
White Dragon Scales

RBB can be had for 15k from 100 people currently. Dragon Hero Bracer is about to become a 1k item immediately upon the release of Velious with BoB / Blue Diamond Bracers / Class Bracers. Scales are worthless without trak guts.

Yeah nothen like taking a guild from planar trash to Gorenaire, good steps my man. PLENTY WILL SUCCEED.

You killed a VP mob didn't you? You guys have multiple people with VP gear. You have plenty of casters. Maybe if you guys put enough effort into preparing for Gorenaire as you did pushing variance, you might kill her. But for now, Gorenaire < Nihilum >.

I'd rather have Hiero cloak over a white dragon scale cloak. Give me 75hp over cold resist every fucking day of the week.

p.s.: all it takes is one bard doing dirge and it essentially crashes the zone. emumu admitted to this. it has been petitioned and flagged for nilbog to look @ for potential fix for over a month now with no response.

Nihilum left one group in Sol B to pvp. By the time a second group of four more arrived the first group had already won the battle. So by "variance" Stasis apparently means absolutely uncontested content.

Well on VZ it was 2 guilds. Ancient Dawn vs Defiant and one tier below it was Zephyros & Aerist.

AD had constant battles for mobs vs Defiant, and both guilds were pretty good geared and got an fair share on mobs.

The way it is currently the argument "You can pvp us over an mob" is just nonsense, since RD wont win an mass pvp battle vs people way better geared with higher numbers then they have.

Some rules from blue could help here (like the guild ratings for raid mobs), or variable spawns so Nihilum dont exactly know when to bring the force to just splatter anything in their way.

It will burn people - not in Nihilum - out, just because loot is a part of Everquest, and not having a chance to get it will make people leave the server or not even starting on this server.

And everyone on this server wants more players.
