an idea to stop zerging

[grannock]

Im not saying change it now, im saying have a better ruleset for pvp when te server was launched. Nothing can be done at this point.

What to do when char has the beat gear???? Gasp pvp other high levels and contest content? Nah ill roll a twink sk and farm people random level 40 dungeon.

It's a horrible idea both at server launch and now. Nobody would play some shitty server where you can only have one character, everyone who did play would find ways around it using vpn or what have you just to have another character to play.

Because playing one character for several years of eq would fucking blow nutsack

That's all moot, without charging people money there is no way to limit a guild size or the amount of characters /accounts per person.

There are enough tech savvy folks playing this game to come up with a solution around any such type of restriction, they could then easily share said solution.

I remember how much trouble our IT dept had trying to restrict Internet usage where I work. That was on an internal network. "Try to tell me I can't get on Facebook just cause I have work to do and sometimes get viruses!" lol

I could however see people quitting in a rage if they instuted such now... Ok everyone pick one character and the rest get deleted starting tomorrow...

To those upset about fighting a zerg and wanting to down content with limited numbers and having custom content, this is what you're looking for

This looks neat at first glance, I will have to read more. Thank for posting!

Very easy to do this actually, just change all the raid targets to 4 hour timers. Hell, at this point the gear saturation is so ridiculous compared to live you aren't even hurting anything. People will fragment just in time for Velious and maybe it'll stick who knows.

Lol good thought if one really thinks about it. Your on a roll man.

just played out a pretty good example in my head, tell me what u think

lets say the rule is in effect...

azrael takes 30 to kill ct, holo zones in 70 to clear them out

seeing a pointless fight, azrael gates out

when its time a kill ct, holo is forced to zone 40 out for the kill leaving it at a vulnerable state , it can easily get wiped outside by the 30 azrael

also alt chracters can be camped out inside to deal with the diminished size of the holo zerg inside

it also creates a new dynamic because it forces holo to play "keep away" if azrael can get past holo and zone in then pvp must be dealt with before ct dies bc it will drop zero loot with all the people in the zone.

i duno i think this forces the zerg to split up even if for a brief period its a good thing.

Isn't the main point that people dont have to be in a guild to be a Zerg force. When raiding was fairly new on Fennin Ro communication was done in shout because smaller guilds banded together.

If you can't use guild tags how can you differentiate between az and holo in your example? If you only look at people in zone period, I tend to think people would show up just to play spoiler. If we don't get lots nobody gets loots.

I appreciate you seem to be genuine in your intent. I think it boils down to the blue at hearts just outnumber the red at hearts here on p99 red raiding scene. If that were not the case wouldn't Holo split so they could PvP against each other, AZ and Fresh for the raid targets?

Have yet to see a real workable solution...

You can stop with the PM's I am being facetious. I am not coming back in Velious to lead a guild against Holocaust... Colgate & Gong are pals.. Gluck to their crootin.

this doesnt have to do with guilds , this has to do with the # of people in the zone

that would mean if a force of PvP zoned into somewhere where you were raiding, you couldn't engage anything, even if it took the other force 20 minutes (or longer) to get to you (if that was even their purpose).

i am well aware there can be a huge amount of people un-guilded and working together

this idea takes into account total number of players, and doesn't look at guild tags
