whereas, with the variance having a chance to reset, players are less likely to poopsock knowing it could be 6 hrs up to 30hrs until pop.

ultimately it's up to the players to decide how they wish to spend their time, you will always have guilds using trackers, but i expect to see a lot less of 100 people on VS or on trak or on any other raid mob spawn spot, because it adds a higher sense of randomness to when the pop will happen

How about the non-randomness of one guild taking every single raid mob since box release, where the top guild can log on their entire raid once a week to drop every dragon.

There's always been a top guild, there hasn't ever been this.

What don't you get? There were 30 nihilum members on stand by last night at 2am for a potential server reset. You think variance is going to help the 7 classic members kill dragons so they can bank vox horns? If anything variance will only ensure that nihilum never loses. a Mob. All variance does is grief nihilum by making the game unenjoyable to play. They have games where everyone gets a shot at raid mobs, Warcraft is a lot of fun I recommend you try out mists of pandaria with me.

shits just circling the drain now a days...... tbh i dk how variance could 'hurt', could it get any worse for the server right now?

red woulda had a chance if all the changes in the last month were put in a year ago

eq emu pvp has such a small player base and id say 60% of them have already thrown in the towel on this project

you clearly never heard of Tallon Zek on live, it was the same thing with <Pandemonium>. Another guild that was able to easily sit on the top forever and never had to deal with competition.

honestly i feel bad for the old TZ players, you guys missed out.

The major difference back then Sirken, is that PDM were at least 60% red. Meaning that they had 60% of their member base online at pretty much all times even when raid mobs weren't up. Nihilum never have more than 10-12 people online until mobs spawn.

It's a problem that leads to an extremely dead pvp server, essentially blue with pvp enabled. Adding in variance would liven up the server, because it would be necessary for Nihilum members to actually be online more often.

This would increase the rate of PvP, and also possibly weed out the Nihlium loot whores who in all honesty can't handle a classic red server, because they are unwilling to put in the time.

Please add variance.

It ensures that you can't log off for 6 days(minus the 3 days/Sky) and get 100% of the raid loot, which most Nihilum do.
