Sirken so wise, except with Red

the idea (and i could be wrong, Rogean please correct me if i am) is that if the variance is shortened it will increase the # of players poopsocking.

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.

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.

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.

My last reply to you HB pal don't need essay wars pal.

i do not see 95% of nihilum members online except for on whatever their raid day is(usually sunday)

I actually played TZ as Gaanon/Bamzal/Amuk at different times, and it was nothing like this with one guild logging in for a few hours to gank every raid mob.

FOI alone could get raid mobs at off times, whether that was due to PDM not caring or variance, who knows. I do know that the top top raid mobs were left up most of the time due to noone being able to actually do them - I was in PDM for the first vindi kill when they reformed on Gaanon with 70 ppl, it's why they started cross teaming, to actually kill raid targets with bards/other classes since noone was.

No one is on because there's nothing to do, velious is months away and we all have multiple level 60s. Should we hold hands in OT inspecting each other? Should we all sit in KC for the five minutes a day that there's pvp there? Should I go form groups to pvp crypt groups to just have them evac and cry Zerg and VP loot in ooc? Should I go grief their royal raids so I can hear in ooc how I'm killing the server by griefing the competition? Should I go grief newbs in unrest or city of mist? I already maxed all my tradeskills. There's no reason to log on. Give us item loot, give us velious or content and people will log on. I got better stuff to do then AFK in KC just to say hey I'm on bros.

I was in inner circle on xegony and I can count on one hand the number of mobs we lost from release through planes of power. Welcome to EQ.

I'm not saying variance will increase loot going to non Nihilum - but fuck they'll have to actually fight and earn it, this zerg one day a week is fucking garbage - you need to realise it Sirk dawg.

[heartbrand]

Fight who? Who would we be fighting? We get 20+ people in OT within five minutes of a bat phone. A lite led guild can't get 20+ people to a pre planned raid within two hours. There's no pvp because the competition is awful. You need bluebies here who know how to bat phone and form up for competition not variance which plays right into nihilums greatest strength. P.s variance will mean nihilum recruits even more people so that there's 30 strong ready to answer the bat phone at any hour.

All variance is, is a punishment to nihilum. When classic disbands and all bounces again, and disband they will like all the guilds before them, all that will remain is a non classic feature that does nothing but punish the only people who play here.

[Stasis01]

There's no pvp because the #1 guild can log on as a zerg at a specific time that's suitable for the guild.

You aren't as strong as you let on during non peak times - I wonder if you lie on purpose or if this is just the way lawyers talk.
