Hyjal is right. Experimentation is good. Good on the devs for trying. But not every experiment works. It's really obvious that rooted dragons had the exact opposite effect as was intended. There is less competition in NToV than at any point in server history.
Guilds are not intended to sit in each others camps in north, and play chicken with who will pull the dragon with more mobs in camp. It's hard enough to determine who is training what when theres 2 mages and 2 FTErs per guild in north. But when theres 200+ people, it's just a disaster. Unroot em. | ||

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The original (1.0) Loramin started on Bristlebane, and while I was never in Fu I was friends with a lot of them IRL (for instance, I know the story of how you convinced Verant to let you have a guild essentially named "Club Fuck You"). But that aside... yes, some servers, just before Luclin, pulled dragons to the zone ... and then as soon as more servers started doing it (in Luclin) Verant quickly rooted the dragons. So, it was clearly an exploit, it got fixed on live, and the only reason it didn't get fixed during Velious is that it wasn't common enough (and maybe also the devs were too busy trying to get Luclin out the door). Just because something happened in classic does not mean it was classic. Rotations also 100% happened on live servers during the classic era, and while I'm a big fan of having them here, I have to agree that the evidence suggests they were the minority. Rotations aren't classic ... in the sense that most people don't remember them existing in the classic era (while they also are classic by other definitions). Pulling to zone was the same thing ... only it was also an exploit that got patched almost in the classic era. Both things are "quantumly classic", but P99 can't exist in a quantum state. So R&N have to pick a state, and of course they're going to pick the game the way it was meant to be played, and was played on most servers through most of Velious. But like I said before: that solution was post-classic in a literal sense. If someone were to propose a better solution, that actually made the server feel more the way people remembered it being in 2001 ... maybe the staff might just embrace it. But a solution that has the whole server pulling to zone 100% of the time most definitely isn't that.

I don't know if the problem is the raid rules, but since those aren't classic I'm inclined to believe that a fix lies with changing them ... not restoring unclassic exploits.

Do you have an in era screenshot of Vulak dead at ent? We killed Eashen and Ikky in picture room on live, not through some sort of miracle pulling, we cleared to them and it was empty the whole way to us. No trainups, da's, whatever. Even top guilds like Legacy of Steel killed Dozekar in his room. Their site is still active, so you can browse their pics. | |||

You know what else isn't classic? 150+ overgeared players killing 1 dragon. So don't tell me this set of rules has created a server with a classic feel.

Regardless, you don't have to raid in order to be tired of people (many of whom have been here awhile, and should know better) ignoring the upper-left corner of their screen. This place is about classic, and if you want to use "X existed on at least one server prior to Luclin's launch" as your measure of whether something is classic ... well, then, rotations were classic also. Let the rotations begin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
