This server is designed for casual play...
Not sure how someone would make this assumption.

The server is the server. People play the way they wish to play.

Besides... if you want top end stuff, there is nothing stopping you from putting in the hours and joining one of those guilds that do the top end stuff.

You can't have it both ways, though. You can't remain casual and expect to experience the game like those that put in 40+ hours a week in the game.

Games that try and make it possible for the casual player to experience the same things as a high level raiding guild end up playing like a modern MMO, or a single player game where you just happen to have others playing in the same space as you. Then you completely lose what has made EQ Classic so great.

ooooo suppression!

Might I suggest, endless waves of bixie drones with laser beams that come out of their eyes?

If you try to kill a high end mob twice in a row, a swarm of them starts to follow you around from zone to zone. They should only have a few hundred hitpoints, but they should keep coming.

That's cuz they have a bbbzatphone.

Switzglock plz make sure u run MQ while u play on this server, and i highly suggest two boxing while your runing your MQ software. Also programs like macromaker help make your game play as easy as possible.

Plz take my advice.

TL;DR Fuck off

Default Rotations werent bad

Rotations weren't bad, lol.

You can actually make plans with real life people, and not worry about your DKP standing for your internet addiction.

It wasn't just good for the other people on the server, it was good for our burnout as well.

Truth hurts, dude

TL;DR op must b troll

Rotations can work with stuff like sky which known pop times happen. But with variance a tad bit harder to have a team kill or who ever kill a dragon god Demi god:-/

Also Eq not easy mode. Do what lorean does or join a high tier guild for you pixels

3 little words are all that is needed to explain the question of why no forced rotation.

I don't even need to type them.

But everyone has to get their main fully geared, and then their alt fully geared, and then their other alt fully geared, and then their new main fully geared.

It's pretty gross imho.

Fippy was the best for a year and a half. I can't wait for SOE to announce a new TLP server, hopefully at SOELive next month. Community and content beats P99 any day.

I was so disapointed by the combine, it was fun but the way they allow progression is stupid. Once the bosses are defeated next expansion.

it only takes one hardcore guild to rush through and ruin it for the rest of the server. When foh took down phara dar i laughed because pd is a joke and they did it with like less than 3 groups of people...cmon

Well, Fippy started with 3 months of classic, then vote opened up for Kunark. Every expansion was guaranteed at least a month of existence before a vote was opened up for the next one. Several times, votes failed.

After about a year or so, SOE realized that a month wasn't enough time for more casual players to experience the content, so they mandated a 2-month period for every expansion before a vote opened up. If they start a new TLP server, you know that they'll probably adopt the 2-month-per-expansion system from the beginning (and probably keep classic for a longer period of time, as the 3-months was also a criticism).

I think they're trying to perfect the TLP system. During the first 6 months or so of Fippy, the server was so ridiculously packed, so hopefully they realize that's what players want.
