Need to catch up

[Morphyus]

Greetings fellas!
This is actually not an intend to make a rant, but the subject have potential, so can just put it here as well in the first place :-)

I just came back from a lil break and just wana catch up on the server guild historie. Took my break in march (maybe it was late feb) and then it was Awakened and Aftermath on the top, with Awakened being heavly supspended - 40+ days or something like that... Now I see no more Awakened but two new groups Tempest and Core, is the history simple that Awakened broke into these two new groups or where do the player base come from in these two new guilds?

Also wasent/is there a guild on red99 called Tempest as well
- are there any ties to that?

Hope someone will fill me in on what I missed in my break and dont ask why - it just interest me keeping up on the guild history on the server I play on.

The best from a lone wolf running without a tag :-)

Welcome back.

Summary: blue raid scene is beyond repair. Red is the only hope at this point.

You're welcome.

[Mead]

I think I might agree with Swish

I honestly swear, not trying to troll here :-) Just trying to keep up on the history, like continuing on Bruts list here...

By Brutillus in an old tread
"- Server launches, first people to lvl50ish form Inglourious Basterds and run the show.
- Transcendence becomes 2nd major raid guild. Staff enforced rotation is formed between them and IB.
- Divinity grows up to become 3rd major raid guild. Poopsocks Nagafen to get their first raid boss kill. Staff breaks rotation. IB dominates content.
- Fish Bait is formed, led by Salty a VZTZ reject. Formed mostly of goonies and whatnot internet scum afaik. Blatantly trains people for Hate gear and whatnot. Mutiny occurs, guild reforms as Dark Ascension.
- DA becomes legit competition. Summer of poopsock comes along. Horrible ruleset about # of people sitting at dragon spawn point to "camp it" are made, resulting in 3days straight of 15+ players sitting semi-afk at Vox/Naggy/CT/whatever.
- IB merges with some of the midtier raiding guilds, forms Transatlantic Rampage.
- Late classic DA falls apart to drama (I think?).
- TMO can't break Fear.

- KUNARK LAUNCHES -
- TR still runs the show. Splinter guilds of DA (forgot the names, Dozekar was one of them?) get some random ez mobs on the side. TR farms Trakanon for teeth to get ready for Veeshan's Peak.
- TMO wipes in Droga meanwhile and loses locket camp they were trying to lock down.
- Veeshan's Peak constantly delayed.
- TR starts to wear thinner on numbers while waiting for new content.
- Leftover DA guilds and TMO form a megazerg and throw 100+ players at Trak to kill it. Gets rewarded teeth off random GM events and whatnot in solB. Starts to have enough teeth to be VP ready.
- VP finally released. TR and TMO forced to /random the dragons, forced rotation.
- TR teams up with Vesica Dei to compete with TMO zerg.
- Petitionquest wars. Paypalminda main raid GM. Horrible times ensue.
- TR reforms as IB to try to sneak in VP kills. Something about TMO leaving PD up for a stupid long time which pissed them off so they went for it. VP rotation breaks. Train wars. The bigger zerg triumphs.
- Mobs split back and forth between IB and TMO. Some major petitionquest suspension drama occurs, both guilds suspended, but then randomly TMO gets unsuspended, IB gets mad af, RMTs off server.
- Leftover memberbase joins VD. VD trolled and griefed off server by TMO.
- Bregan D'Aerth (sp?) becomes #2 raid guild of server by default since only guild to do upper sky islands etc. Leftover IB/VD join BDA.
- TMO happy about BDA competing. Then BDA actually gets some mobs. TMO then declares BDA is scum and is secretly IB/VD in disguise and needs to be griefed off the server as well.
- One happy Trakanon attempt, TMO wipes their first engage. BDA calmly clears juggs and goes in, TMO snipes FTE and petitions that their 6 rez effex'd half-naked people running into it were a raid force, they want the loot. GM gives them the loot. TMO brags in RnF and claims they'll do this to BDA scum every raid from now on.
- BDA adopts the FTE over all strat. Starts to just port random teams of monks to Hate to jav Inny as TMO is engaging, petitions, actually gets loot. TMO cries foul in RnF and how unfair this is.
- BDA actually puts up a fight, recall taking 3 VS in a row. Internal drama happens, VD/IB populance wants more strict raiding requirements etc DKP and whatnot.
- Forceful Entry splits off BDA. Fights with TMO, takes time to get off, actually starts to dominate content outside VP. TMO brags how VP is all that matters and they need to come there to fight. Train wars are the best thing in game says TMO.
- FE goes to VP. TMO parks their entire raid out of zone boundaries so they don't get trained cuz train wars are the best thing in game (?!).
- FE can't compete with the zerg # and all the bought toons with rez sticks and whatnot preparked in the zone. Sloan is a goof and spends 20h play sessions with some other dudes wasting time training Necrious and whatnot all day long. Guild leadership neglects rest of targets, people get fed up, results are bad.
- FE falls apart as such. Scrapes some crap mobs here and there. Sloan poofs. Horrible times of career idiot Shinko as guildleader.
- IB starts to come back to server after waking Sleepy on EQmac and ruining their lives there. Teams up with FE to compete with TMO again.
- IB/FE vs TMO is trucking along, whatevs, same old. VP still under TMO controls sans some random dragons here and there sniped by preparking. Phara Dar once, big deal apparently.
- Froovygate happens. Major TMO members caught duping and RMTing, also one of their top officers (I think?) decided to ninja loot some Druushk loot when salty and mad about losing it. Rogean raid suspends TMO for like a month or something.
- Zeelot ragequits server when seeing the writing on the wall. TMO left in shambles.
- Server raid suspended as playerbase meant to come up with their own rotation ideas to let everyone get merbs from here on out.
- Weeks of nothing happening as any agreement is shot down by salty BDA leadership.
- Rogean puts foot down and enforces a rotation with tier system.
- FE/IB vs TMO leftovers, new raid rules, no VP training now, other humbug all around. Coth ducking is a thing now. Casuals get mobs too and form their own rotation for them.
- Casual rotation falls apart due to too many alliances and small guilds joining in. Big surprise. BDA and Taken, the top 2 guilds, throw the rotation out the window and just eat all the casual mobs themselves. Divinity takes the rest. CSG is formed (think it was Europa, Omni, aaand something) to compete with Divinity over the leftovers of leftovers.
- FE goes full scum and teams up with TMO to form a new megazerg mother of all megazergs. 120 player Xygoz raid. Disgusting. IB left with 20ish people to compete on their own.
- IB fights back, FETMO megazerg starts dwindling as late Kunark goes along. IB pulls together. Guildleader Getsome disappears on a fishing trip.
- IB reforms as Rampage due to said fishing trip. They were raid suspended at the time of reform, asked GM if they're still raid suspended, was told no, went for a Nexona. FETMO cried foul, Rampage offered to give up Nexonas to compensate in spite of being allowed by staff to kill stuff. FETMO cried no, demands week of free mobs. Didn't get any of such.
- Rampage vs FETMO back and forth no one has a real advantage, primarily due to Nalken's scripts and macros to secure them PDs.
- FETMO reforms as Forsaken. Same thing, different name. Gets raid suspended first week of their formation since genius leader thought they could go snipe R tier mobs from BDA and Taken. Rogean said nope.
- Same old back and forth continues.

- VELIOUS LAUNCHES -
- Serverwide tier system rotation gone completely.
- Rampage runs the show and gets most everything. Locks down ST keys. Farms content for some months for free. Gets all the relevant server firsts.
- Forsaken teams up with Asgard and Taken to zerg it up. Trains and dramas and whatnot.
- Coth ducking wars and other lame nonsense and zerg rushing. Think Taken ditched the Forsaken&Asgard team and teamed up with Rampage? Don't remember this part too well, I ragequit due to the good vyemm eye going to a shaman (he had the wrong face too /nod).
- Rampage calls it quits after Forsakengard snipes a Vulak and gets server first Gharns I think? Wakes up Sleepy on their way out to piss people off. Good riddance monk robes.
- Leftover Rampage form Bacon or something. Teams up with Taken and forms Awakened after a bit. Forsakengard merge to form Aftermath because they wanted to be earlier on /who all guild searches or something stupid.
- BDA leaves server. Bye.
- Divinity also vanished at some point. RIP oldest guild on server. Think Europa has that crown now?
- Some departed IB comes back to form Rustle because ???. Didn't get the big red carpet hero welcome invitation to Awakened that they expected, got salty, dedicated their time to petitionquesting against Awakened and teamed up with Aftermath and told them how to kill Tunare and how to do the ring war.
- Bunch of petitionquest wars occur. Tons of suspensions and nonsense.
- Current state. Alot of casual guilds have died down. Rustle seems to be pretty much gone. CSG seems to be trying alot less. A/A farming server with same old back and forth."

To say core is a split from awakened is a little innacurate, but it looks that way from outside.

Core is a few Awakened+old rampage players who didn't want to be in a guild under Bellringer, so went and did their own thing. Grew from there with Europa pals and some Venerate folk who also didn't want to merge into Tempest, and a lot of random pals along the way.

Thanks exactly the info I seek!

Nice post by Brutillus, sums a lot up. Each line encompasses weeks or months of drama, so glossing over it doesnt give an outsider the same sense of loss and victory at various times. Love that guy <3

Imagine taking a near-decade long shit as you read it.

[pogs4ever]

A/A got themselves suspended. CSG leadership works with other guilds to split locked down mobs so everyone gets to see new content. A few AG decided they want all the pixels, break agreement and leave CSG.

[Lammy]

- Rustle sets the standard for all raid guilds. In an envious attempt to recreate the magic that was Rustle, Awakened splits off in to two smaller guilds. One led by some guy described as "changing for the worse," which fails to compete and the other not allowed to compete.
- Aftermath then adopts a contradicting, hand-holding philosophy of 'no more farm crews' while they continue to lock down 18 year old raid content while somehow maintaining an autistic raid force of warm bodied zerglings. All of which secretly can't stand each other but put on smiles in the name of pixels.
