Not sure how Tune destroyed Red99. A FFA, classic [no boxing], low pop pvp server is going to always have one large guild on top. If you look at every period of the box's history, it has been dominated by a single guild, with the exception of a two week period here and there. I could type paragraph after paragraph about why that is, but I'll spare everyone including myself that labor. It's not a Tune problem, it's a classic EQ problem.

My statement was false in the sense I didnt specify a specific timeline. However, Tune was definately a factor in the death of this server in the later stages post Empire.

Example: He'd go out of his way to kill mobs like VS and Trak while farming ToV just to stop smaller guilds from getting any content, this while 60 of the remaining 100 players on the server were in his guild.

It's true only 1 guild dominates red99- but that's an easy feat during classic and kunark where you could clear the content in a day, and where it wasn't so drastic of a setback for other guilds/players to catch up in terms of the gear curve.

However, no one can justify during Velious era besides maybe VP Dragon's any reason for a guild farming ToV/Kael to go kill kunark dragons - it was simply a tactic to stunt any other guilds growth - on a 100 pop server remember.

Edit: also at this stage anyone who was/had been in a tov raiding guild had 1-2-3 geared velious toons so people were just farming ToV for alts and Vuulak yet the destructive, obsessive mentality persisted.

Edit2: It's the nature of the player's/leaders that ruin this game, coupled with the lack of content in classic and kunark that cant sustain more than 250-300players.
I guess my point is that one can rule the roost and let other's flourish in the content they don't need, or you can make decisions that make people stop investing their game time.

I was talking about this with a member from Dentists the other night and he was arguing how guilds like Catalyst ruined servers because they recruit more than is needed to down mobs. He was wanting something like 5 guilds with 10 members each and that will never happen. The 4 guilds that are losing won't stand by and let the 1 winning guild with 10 people that play 16 hours a day take all the content. You also leave out everyone on the server that wants to play but can only log in for 4 hours a day. If you only have 10 spots someone that plays 20 hours a week can't join. The casuals normally end up in the best guilds because they like to be able to log in and do stuff when they play games.

People who want servers broken up into small guilds are actually pussies - we all know skill levels vary and class inbalances are strong in EQ. So all a 10v10v10v10v10 guild setup would result in is 10v10v10v10v10 wizards of the likes and all the sub-par skilled and casuals would be worse of.

Plus those sorts of concepts are born out of the ideas from people who flourish in group PvP and would just dominate anyhow so they want to prescribe the server to their most dominating tactic. It's the reverse zerg in otherwords, same mentality though.

Anyone believing these guys are only playing 20 hours a week?

If only Tune left Talendor up we’d be witnessing 300 pop and guilds gearing up with dragon hero bracers ready to take a shot at contesting for box supremacy

[ApexNews]

all of kunark other than PD was left up for the majority of apex's lifetime, which did not even begin until the server was like 5+ years old, a year after the last content had been released.

nihilum had a vice grip on kunark killing every mob on spawn for years

holocaust steamrolled velious with 90 players.

tune killed vulak with 30 and ruined it for everyone. taylorswift_ok.gif

sorry you didn't get what you wanted out of the server.

nexona was never touched and it’s a dam shame.
