My Take On: Sirken's SuperCast #42 ft: Cloki, and Raev!

Truth, i didn't sit thru the whole thing, i skimmed it. Whatever you guys were debating, i will have to remind everyone, that what killed live was too many expansions, too much patching, and too many Guilds bitching because they wanted to be lords of EQ.

It totally irritates me that you have people that take this game too seriously. This game is supposed to be fun, yeah hard but fun. One person cannot win this game, you need a group of people to reach the summit, but that doesnt mean a lone person cannot survive and have fun.

I think there should be a limit to the number of people you can have in a guild, also the top spawns should be ultra rare, that way, you may not stop TMO from getting every single kill, but it will take them way more time to acquire as much loot as they have now, and you limit their power by limiting the number of players that are uber twinked, that combined with a guild limit reduces their power.

I don't want this server to spiral down the way live did, you said Velious is the last expansion, you have also stated you wanted to keep things classic. Well i hope you keep your word, and not open more expansions. If you are a person that has everything in the game and is bored/tired, well let them leave. I'm sure there are 5 peeps behind them that want that spot.

And nobody truly leaves the game, many peeps have come back and played on P99 because they miss the game. I am sure many people will quit and comeback and start new characters just to get a fresh start. I guess my main point is don't give in to the guilds, they will never be satisfied, set your rules for the game, and if you lose peeps then o well.

I read a story of mages in certain guilds precasting summons for hours for a few second headstart on a raid mob when it popped. Hearing things like that make me not even want to waste my time getting to endgame. It's sad and pathetic and I wouldn't want to be a part of it. Talk about taking a game too seriously..

So, I listened to the first hour and I enjoyed some of the ideas on how to fix the raid scene. However, I feel once velious comes out the greater supply of pixels will offset the the fact that p1999 has been in Kunark for 4 years. It's simple supply/demand. There is a high demand for pixels due to the "unclassic" amount of level 60's that are capable of taking down raid content compared to the fixed supply that has followed a "classic" timeline with 7 day average respawn.

Here's my ghetto p1999 Econ graph I made.

so, we need a shock to the system (velious release) to raise the pixel supply ceiling higher or 1) shorter respawns/more respawns 2) fresh server to lower the pixel demand.

Simple pixel economics.

I like Velious and still has that classic feel to me but I would be fine with staying at Kunark. If you go past Velious into SoL you may as well get into PoP.

SoF killed the game the most.

Levels 1-75 were fine.

Raiding was useful in GoD, OoW, DoN, DoD, PoR, TSS and TBS at level 75. The gear warranted getting together full raids to go after.

But once SoF dropped, Crystallos gear obsoleted basically all of those raids and it was doable with a single group. Many guilds died. If you weren't in the latest expansion, it wasn't worth raiding.

Was maximum dumb. Stupid groupers demanding gear they didn't need. Group gear was progressing just fine and it was tuned properly to complete group content. But they just HAD to have a 100% increase in stats going from TBS to SoF, and due to this every casual raising guild collapsed, or hemorrhaged members until they collapsed.

True endgame: Stand around and have people inspect you constantly. For this armies have rallied and gone to war.
