Look, there are basically two types of people on this server. About 90% of the server is here because we played EQ back in the day, but because we quit early/joined late/weren't in an uberguild/didn't play 24/7 we never got to experience a good bit of the content. For this group of people the main goal is to kill a few of the mobs we never got to do back in the day, pick up an item or two we never got before, and maybe play the classes that we envied back then. It's kind of like a do over at life, although that analogy scares me.

The other 10% is here to prevent the 90% from doing this. These are the people that were in the uberguilds back in the day, and have already done all the content, but since then they haven't had any challenges that meet their unique skillset of sitting in front of the computer for 24 hours per day. This group of people derives their self esteem from being better at Everquest than other people, and P1999 is a way to return to their glory days, like a 40 year old pitcher going back to high school. Most of these people are in TMO/IB and some were in VD but most have quit. When you make comments like "What we dont like is a guild that rides coat tails into the raiding scene then demands that we share mobs. That will get you no where with TMO." its clear that EQ for you is about status - there are the "hardcore" and the "others" and the others had better know their place.

What I am trying to explain to you is that Everquest is not a PVP game nor is it a hard game. Sure there are some strategies for raid mobs, like CH rotation, MR potions, bards playing resist songs and stacking resist gear, using the staff of runes to dispell effects or mallets for aggro, etc. But most of them are known. Let me put it to you this way: anyone with basic intelligence and the willingness to spend 50+ hours a week in Norrath can be a productive member of TMO with a week or two of training. Do you think those same people could join a competitive Quake league? Those guys don't just know strats, their hand to eye coordination and reflexes are off the charts. Or a Starcraft league where the APM is 100+? Same deal. Or chess, where the spatial memory requirements are huge?

I'm just trying to make you understand how silly the concept of competitive Everquest is. It's like competitive eating: it's just retarded and wasteful, and the only people who enjoy it are the ones who aren't good at anything else.

Old VD is more or less dead. Many members left, a lot of them who you hated. I think you got what you wanted Zee...

Yea, I think he's the last one on TMO's hate list. Maybe if you grief him off server, then TMO & VD can be friends lol

You don't like that I have spoken publicly against TMO on these forums.

What actual in-game actions have I done to warrant any hate?

I've actually gone on record to move on and let bygones be bygones if TMO wanted to do the right thing and move on from this hate-fest:

That would be well and good except for every time someone tries to do something constructive there are 15 full time TMO trolls shitting up every thread.

I'm willing to move forward and never say a damned word against tmo again if they have indeed miraculously changed their ways.

Offers hand*

But are you the shadow, and should I make truce with you?

I have been in VD over a year zealot and I never grieved a member of your guild, your words cut me deep. Thanks for generalizing yet again.

With all this talk about wanting competition I'm wondering when they will strategically break up their own guild so they can start competing against each other. Seeing this would almost be worth staying out of the way.
