View Full Version : 40 Nihilum showed up for Nagafen years after box released - No Variance killing Red99

No variance does not allow for competition, even years after the box was released Nagafen is still easily killed with a time commitment of about 30 mins out of a week.
If GM's do not address the static timer and how easymode this box is for the #1 guild it will continue to stay low pop and uninteresting/boring.
We have years of experience with Red99, we know it doesn't work - one guild has kept all mobs down the entire time, it's too easy.
It isn't even a debate anymore, this is broken.

If they had to keep trackers on top of Naggy, and actually had to invest some sort of effort into getting him, as with all the 7 day timers, this box would be an environment that underdogs could actually compete in.
Ty for your time GM's.

It is too one sided, much like any server in EQ history to take on the #1 spot head on.
The problem is the static timers allow you to keep all of them down, forever, with minimal effort like has been done since release of the box up until Velious with even Draco/Naggy/Vox.
Box is easymode, it's too easy for #1 to take mobs that competing guilds depend on.
The pop/raid situation has proven this over the years pals.

ho hum Feen you are right. lets pvp 15 people 50-60 against 40 people at 10 am on a workday. the nihi open door recruiting policy pretty much guarantees this won't happen.
this is what happens when a guild plays purely for themselves not also aiming to help promote server growth.
Stasis01
02-04-2014, 12:08 PM
It doesn't have to be, give guilds other than the biggest and strongest a chance - rules are still broken, maybe GM's will take another look eventually.
Or Velious will just be the same shit, that's OK too I guess.
We had 6 people in sol b. You logged in 15 to 18. We started dropping you like flies. Not my fault you lost. Well, maybe it is my fault...

You showed up with 38 to Solb at the exact time Naggy was about to spawn.
Left to start clearing Fear for the CT pop, and then we logged back on to try to force that group out. Heavy beef crew with good players and a soulfire paladin lasted long enough vs our 18 till more came in to back you guys up.
You were preclearing fear for the CT pop, while keeping on top of us at Nagafen.
Easymode much?
The fact that you have all the hardcorest neckbeard pro players isn't impressive - the ruleset makes it too easy for you guys.

And here is the same argument since day 1. No body can "pvp" you because you have the vast majority of the level 60 population who are willing to log on @ 10am EST on a work day to kill dragons once a week in a three hour span. There's no counter to this. There's not enough people to recruit, etc. Because there aren't enough pixels for the other side to get, people get burnt out / quit / app nihilum. It's a never ending cycle that makes the box uninteresting. I'm sure this will get 10,000 LOL U MAD HAHAH PVP US PLAY BETTER responses, shrug, w/e, I have my loot. I can get 85% BiS in Velious without ever touching foot in NToV. But is it going to be fun? Shrug, I don't think so. There's a lot of more compelling PVE games out there than EQ.
Doesn't really matter, the truth is, the devs don't care about this server, and most of the players don't either. People will zerg Velious, get full gear, and then quit forever, and this box will finally die. If I ran this box, I'd allow blue transfers/copies TODAY, I would enable 2 boxing for sub 50 chars, TODAY, I would keep static spawns but mix in a second 10 day complete variance pop with serverwide YT when the mob popped, remove OOC, likely completely shut down the red forums on this site, perma bans for rule violators based on their IP. I would launch this with a one month huge hype phase with bonus XP, classic drops back in the game during this time period. I would make a monthly GM event, maybe more often, where a random raid boss is popped with GM chosen teams to fight for the mob.
Dunno, all things to make this box exciting. Anyways, this thread is about to turn into 100 retti meme posts that I have blocked, a bunch of people from Nihilum saying how the server is great and tons of fun and to play better or something, Stasis and others making 100 QQ posts about the server, and the most important statistic: zero posts from devs.
I did the kill all raid mob bosses every week in a 3 hour window. I didn't find it that fun. It's weird, it becomes a "job" and you feel sub-consciously obligated to log in to do it, so I get the motive for people to continue doing so. It's like a second nature habit where you just "have" to log in even though you don't want to. One day though I took a three week break and realized I didn't have to anymore. It was pretty refreshing. I don't get the people that play here ultimately. Do you play with the three point sliders on max in NBA 2k also? That's what being in Nihilum is like. Ya it's fun to rain threes for a while, but eventually you realize "o man dis is pretty dum," and jack up the difficulty to superstar / hall of fame, and turn the sliders off. #RED99
edit: for all the people who talk about how velious will save the box, you can get 80% of the gear you need with 3 groups on off hours in the course of 2 weeks. people will get the gear, and quit, just like they did in Kunark. the only thing that can "Save" [i.e., 200+ pop with consttant clashes], is two+ viable guilds with consistent mass pvp. Velious won't bring that. It will bring pixels tho. I said this b4 Kunark also tho and no1 listened [although I was completely correct].

I don't need Nagafen loot, I don't need CT loot, I don't really care - I just think the entire process of how this is fought over, and how easy it is for the #1 guild ruins the box.

I think at this point Stasis making posts actually ensures nothing will ever get done. I imagine the staff at this point just completely ignores any threads he starts. It's like a kid waving his arms in the air and yelling "pay attention to me!" over and over...eventually you just ignore it.
HB, you have some good points. But I still would not call this server broken. Everything happening is because of the way EQ is designed. Every PVP server had a top guild dominating 90+ % of raid content. People only share when they have to, it's human nature. I appreciate your frustration, but in the end without changing the fundamentals of EQ the scales will always tip a direction and on a server where you can impose your will on another force it will lead to a single guild dominating.
Put it this way...if you took the entire 55+ population and randomly put them into two different guilds within 3 months the situation would be exactly how it is now. One side would gain an advantage, top players from the opposing side would start leaving and you'd have a dominate force crushing the inferior one into irrelevance. Servers with over 10 times our population had this same thing happen, it's a game design issue not a population issue.

02-04-2014, 12:28 PM
The point is this is red. Theoretically, many of us chose this server because it's not a PvE server. I understand that this is not a crushbone war counterstrike elf simulator quest box. But that doesn't mean it should be 95% PVE 5% PVP. I understand the value in "locking" down pixels to deny your opponent an advantage in PVP. But at the same time, this HAS to be balanced with keeping a viable population. I get that there always be a "#1" guild with such a small server pop, but it shouldn't be only a one guild with nothing else. There has to be some sort of balance, be it 70/30 80/20. Right now it's 99/1. People on the other side aren't looking for all the pixels in the game handed to them. They are looking for "hope," i.e., "if we get lucky, I have a shot this week at item X." Some of the suggestions I provided give that hope, keep people engaged and willing to be an underdog. On this server, the reality, is "lol nope u aint gettin dat 0% shot", and that means people quit. That seems retarded to me. You can cry WoW or something all you want, but I'd rather a viable server with a thriving pop that has a little bit more of a distribution of pixels with some fighting over them, then a "hardcore" red99 like we have now. I wish I knew how to code, because I'm fairly confident if I did I could build a server that people would play on over this one. I could fund a shit load to it too.
If there are people out there who do know how to code, and want to build a classic-"style" [i.e., some compromises made but the essential "classic" spirit maintained], and want to make money for their contribution, hit me up in PM. I'm willing to fund this.

Problem the server faces is that's nihilum is doing everything possible to stagnate the server. It's not bad enough y'all have bis characters and all raid mobs on lock down vampire times. Nihilum also keeps recruiting and taking players that we need to compete.
What's the point of playing this server or on a red one in general? Why do you guys see it a necessity to obliterate all and any competition. Nihilum still killing nagafen and vox is comical, like any of y'all even need that loot anymore.
I guess nihilum wants just one big guild on red99. Just make this sever blue and merge it and reopen a new red server.
Stasis01

The problem is you dedicate 0 time for mobs that you have no need killing.

HB you are so two face its funny.
You were telling everyone how you planned to recruit 150 people to zerg nihilum off the server. You have zero interest in "making this a better server" so don't even think about trying to spew that nonsense here.
You failed in your plan because your plan was failed just like I tried to tell you before.

the funny thing also is that you aren't doing it to "lock out the competition". for the most part as a result of this behavior, people either quit or join nihilum. so then how does banking that umpteenth trak bp or CoF help the server? it doesnt, just in the long run kills the pop.

One side would gain an advantage, top players from the opposing side would start leaving and you'd have a dominate force crushing the inferior one into irrelevance. Servers with over 10 times our population had this same thing happen, it's a game design issue not a population issue.
Could easily be fixed with monthly drafts / fight caps / three guilds, etc. There's plenty of options to make things fun. My frustration, if you want to call it that, is that the server just isn't a lot of fun, on EITHER team. I get there's people out there who really enjoy logging on once or twice a week and smashing auto attack. I did it too. I'll admit, it's kinda fun for the first couple months to just to rape everything with ease. You beat up on everyone else in mass pvp, and you start to feel real skilled and powerful. You feel like a legit badass in Nihilum, no doubt about it. Eventually though, as evident by the massive burnout in Nihilum, most people find it quite boring in the end and quit. While I don't think something as drastic and top down as drafts or what not need to be implemented, I don't see the harm in a couple of changes that give the CHANCE at more pixels to the other side. Again, people just want "hope," even if that "hope" is only a 10% chance at pixels rather than 1%, it's enough to make people engaged and interested in continuing to play. While I didn't play on RZ, I played on a blue server Xegony, we never got 100% of the mobs like this. I really do understand that there will always be a top dog in this game.
My only "complaint" is it needs to be more of an 85/15 90/10 proposition than a 99/1. In the end, like I stated prior, I can achieve 85% of everything I want in Velious with Red Dawn. But what I want more than that, is some fun PVP for that. Unfortunately, I'm not sold that the current "setup" of this server allows for that. However, perhaps with Velious being "it" for project 1999, you'll see people get geared, and leave their guilds and start making small pvp crews a la Dentists / Sharknado. Now THAT could be a shit load of fun. Unfortunately, that's prolly 1.5 years away.
I just want this server to be a bit more fun. I don't think we need to put in Variance, I'm ok with this being a 90/10 server. But I don't think 99/1 is healthy.

We never really had this problem on VZTZ. It was a shameful thing to be a Zerg and I always kept heresy in its most efficient state possible. We wouldn't recruit unless we lost players and we for sure didn't kill every possible raid mob just to grief people from getting any pixels.
At one point on VZTZ we had 3 almost 4 top guilds competing. Shit was SO much fun, eventually it became 2 massive guilds that would fight but it was usually always an even playing field.
I don't see why that's not possible here? If nihilum would just recruit enough to get by then we would have another guild of equal geared players maybe.
After apping nihilum for 8 days, I clearly saw how bad that guild is for the server. There was no way I could hang.
Nihilum either wants a competitive server or they don't, and currently their actions lead me to believe they don't.

You guys are completely delusional if you think the population would explode even if these changes were enabled. Where would these people come from? Do you think there are 200 people sitting here waiting on variance to be enabled so they can start a character?
Variance isn't going to do anything. The same people getting the loot now will get it with or without variance. It just baffles me why RD would even want it. You can't get a mob now when you can organize to contest it for literally a month if you wanted, and you think somehow that if it spawns randomly you'll be able to organize in time to do it? You're asking for this out of pure spite. You want to make it suck for Nihilum as much as possible since you can't do it with the means already implemented (PVP). The staff either A) doesn't care or B) sees right through your bullshit.
At least HB is being reasonable with his requests, asking not for Nihilum to be essentially punished for their domination but for another set of random repops on the raid targets. Last I checked variance was dramatically reduced on blue because it ruined the game for a lot of people. Why the fuck would they enable it here?
Maybe part of the reason Nihilum is unwilling to do anything is because your methods? If I remember correctly there was at least talk in the beginning of allowing RD to take some raid targets? Now its thread after thread asking the GMs to step in. What happens if they enable variance and it does absolutely nothing to change the situation (which is wouldn't)? Are you just going to start making posts to raid suspend Nihilum just so RD can have the shit uncontested? It's funny as shit to me really, you talk about how you want to compete and PVP but you want the GMs to put methods in place where you can stealth a mob without having to contest for it. All the PVP you could possibly want is right there for you. Sorry that the deck is stacked against you but you're taking a 3 month old guild that isn't even half filled with 60s, isn't even in full pre-kunark planar loot against a 2 year old guild knee deep in VP geared alts.
Velious is in a few months. Maybe work on getting your guild stocked with enough 60s with their spells to start contesting the extra 50 raid mobs that are about to get added. There are raid targets on 8 hour timers that drop near BiS loot. There will be plenty to get done and plenty of loot to keep members interested.

Nihilum left one group in Sol B to pvp. By the time a second group of four more arrived the first group had already won the battle. So by "variance" Stasis apparently means absolutely uncontested content.
Tubben
02-04-2014, 01:13 PM
Every PVP server had a top guild dominating 90+ % of raid content.
Well on VZ it was 2 guilds. Ancient Dawn vs Defiant and one tier below it was Zephyros & Aerist.
AD had constant battles for mobs vs Defiant, and both guilds were pretty good geared and got an fair share on mobs.
The way it is currently the argument "You can pvp us over an mob" is just nonsense, since RD wont win an mass pvp battle vs people way better geared with higher numbers then they have.
Some rules from blue could help here (like the guild ratings for raid mobs), or variable spawns so Nihilum dont exactly know when to bring the force to just splatter anything in their way.
It will burn people - not in Nihilum - out, just because loot is a part of Everquest, and not having a chance to get it will make people leave the server or not even starting on this server.
And everyone on this server wants more players.

You guys are completely delusional if you think the population would explode even if these changes were enabled. Where would these people come from? Do you think there are 200 people sitting here waiting on variance to be enabled so they can start a character?
Variance isn't going to do anything. The same people getting the loot now will get it with or without variance. It just baffles me why RD would even want it. You can't get a mob now when you can organize to contest it for literally a month if you wanted, and you think somehow that if it spawns randomly you'll be able to organize in time to do it? You're asking for this out of pure spite. You want to make it suck for Nihilum as much as possible since you can't do it with the means already implemented (PVP). The staff either A) doesn't care or B) sees right through your bullshit.
At least HB is being reasonable with his requests, asking not for Nihilum to be essentially punished for their domination but for another set of random repops on the raid targets. Last I checked variance was dramatically reduced on blue because it ruined the game for a lot of people. Why the fuck would they enable it here?
Maybe part of the reason Nihilum is unwilling to do anything is because your methods? If I remember correctly there was at least talk in the beginning of allowing RD to take some raid targets? Now its thread after thread asking the GMs to step in. What happens if they enable variance and it does absolutely nothing to change the situation (which is wouldn't)? Are you just going to start making posts to raid suspend Nihilum just so RD can have the shit uncontested? It's funny as shit to me really, you talk about how you want to compete and PVP but you want the GMs to put methods in place where you can stealth a mob without having to contest for it. All the PVP you could possibly want is right there for you. Sorry that the deck is stacked against you but you're taking a 3 month old guild that isn't even half filled with 60s, isn't even in full pre-kunark planar loot against a 2 year old guild knee deep in VP geared alts.
Velious is in a few months. Maybe work on getting your guild stocked with enough 60s with their spells to start contesting the extra 50 raid mobs that are about to get added. There are raid targets on 8 hour timers that drop near BiS loot. There will be plenty to get done and plenty of loot to keep members interested.
HB tried a different method where Red Dawn and Nilly were on friendly terms. I was in nilly during this. Nizzar wanted full control on how Red Dawn was. If any little thing happened nizzar would threaten them grief. This happened about 10 times in one month. Then nilly decided to go grief mode because Red Dawn took naggy one day. Nizzar is a tyrant and he benefits from his members greatly which is why he doesn't work. Its why he monopolies as many pixels as he can. This is not a game to him, its business.

Simulated repops solve about 99% of the problems with this server instantly. Literally the only argument is it "floods" the economy, as if a server with 200 azure robes and donal bp's needs to be worried about being "flooded."

If they had to keep trackers on top of Naggy, and actually had to invest some sort of effort into getting him, as with all the 7 day timers, this box would be an environment that underdogs could actually compete in.
Ty for your time GM's.
All this does is make things suck more for Nihilum, or so you think.
The people you hate the most in Nihilum probably play the most (The Duke, Tune)... so they will benefit over the more reasonable human beings in the guild because they will get tracking DKP.
Seriously Stasis, get some data on the average times of day mobs spawned with variance in place. Here's a hint: you're at work or asleep most of the hours of the day... and this shit is truly random.

Keeping entry level raids down with a small portion of your larger guild farming all the 7day timers is bad for server growth and multiple guilds.
Not hard to understand, with Velious around the corner it's a semi wipe, a lot of gear is useless, I wouldn't say it's a level playing field but it's the closest we'll come to one.
Need to make necessary changes with variance to give box a chance to a second/third guild.

Just want 2 make clear. I don't support Variance, I think it would be awful for Red Dawn, though I do think it would grief Nihilum which I guess might incidentally benefit Red Dawn? I support simulated repops tho, be it once a week, once every 10 days or once every two weeks or even if it was only once a month. I think that alone would shift this from a 99.9/.1 server to a 90/10 85/15 server where we would see more people willing to be the underdog, which means more people stick around, more players, and eventually more pvp.

b.) even if RD would be able to do this, they cant compete 40 vs 40 just because of the gear difference between both guilds.
With Variance RD will atleast have the chance to snipe an mob because Nihilum is unprepared. Currently you are 100% prepared for the raidmobs, and with the geardifference no one do really have an chance vs nihilum.
And the last sentence of your, that they only want this to make Nihilum as sucky as possible is the sentence i really startet to laugh irl. You are just accustomed to be the guild who get all the loot, because however you did it, you get your guild online to a time, no one normaly play so you get the mobs uncontested.
And if you would really like to fight over the mobs, where is the problem if the mob do spawn to an different time where other guilds have more members online ? Chances that you win the pvp are big, simple because gear makes the difference.

Repop = More mobs = more shots @ any mob = higher morale = more people come back who quit cuz no way to progress char = more people getting geared = higher chance of more evenly matched pvp = more fun
no repop = all mobs dead 3 hour = people quit = gear gap = no chance @ pvp = not fun

Then in your next post you'll say how this will attract new players somehow. I'm sure there will be dozens of people ready to line up for 8 hour poopsock level 1 ranger battles in SolB.
This flawed logic that somehow a raid target spawning randomly will lead to competition is baffling to me. You are perfectly able to contest every single raid target in the game now, you're just not ready yet.

Any form of uncontested mobs lead to competition for a variety of reasons.
1) it boosts morale which means people are more likely to keep playing and not join nilly
2) it helps recruitment
3) provides gear that makes you stronger
All of these make it more likely that there will be a thriving competing guild
No competition means, bad morale, less members, less recruitment, less gear.

Not sure if serious or dum. Read what I quoted in my above post he was very clearly talking about variance which is exactly why you poopsock.
I've already said in this thread I wouldn't mind simulated patch days once or twice a month, not to add extra spawns but to alter when the repops happen during the day. Maybe for a few weeks its 3AM. Then the next few weeks its 2PM, the next month is at 9PM, whatever.

Twainz

Any form of uncontested mobs lead to competition for a variety of reasons.
1) it boosts morale which means people are more likely to keep playing and not join nilly
2) it helps recruitment
3) provides gear that makes you stronger
All of these make it more likely that there will be a thriving competing guild
No competition means, bad morale, less members, less recruitment, less gear.
But you already said the gear sucks off the dragons because Velious is coming. Why do you care if the gear sucks?

Bottom line is nihilum doesn't have to take this shit so serious, leave a mob up and let us prepare for it. When you see us moving to slay the target, bat phone and come pvp. Would rather mass pvp and lose then to never see a mob up because it's slain while I'm getting ready for work in the morning.

HB tried a different method where Red Dawn and Nilly were on friendly terms. I was in nilly during this. Nizzar wanted full control on how Red Dawn was. If any little thing happened nizzar would threaten them grief. This happened about 10 times in one month. Then nilly decided to go grief mode because Red Dawn took naggy one day. Nizzar is a tyrant and he benefits from his members greatly which is why he doesn't work. Its why he monopolies as many pixels as he can. This is not a game to him, its business.

Defiant wished they got all server first, but thats simply not true. Could just ask yourself who entered PoTime first. And who got mostly Vex Thal ? Not Defiant.

We had no competition at our time, and won almost every mass pvp vs defiant.
Anyway. This doesent really matter anymore. I tried to say, that both guilds got their fair share on mobs. So it did work somehow, unlike on r99 where Nihilum get every mob.

Brobb, you beat Defiant? In AD? First of all, AD was made during luclin? even if we still contested velious. The second guild on Vz for at least the first 8-10 months of velious was Ancient Order, which was euro and allies with Defiant. After Prophets got beat/disbanded, there was no PvP at all, except against the dark team guilds, who were far far from contesting anything. X-teaming came later.
I'm not trying to brag about old shit, simply saying VZ had a topguild too. No other guilds got any PvE done we still needed in defiant. Whatever fights you might have won was on euro time, considering no other guild did ANY ToV or ST during the whole velious era, I fail to see how that was very different.
But yes, there was PvP and during kunark it was defiant being the underdog. But I'm sure one guild would have controlled everything if we had 2 years of kunark there too.
My research is solid brobb, considering I was there.

Vexare, prophets, silent souls and there was one other but all small guilds banding together vs defiant and AO. Was fun times, though my experience back then was more for the pvp and less for the pve. Though wherever we went we rocked defiant, i never remember them being anything more than "well geared scrubs". Though i assume shortly after i left people got tired of not doing the big pve content so they joined defiant, kinda the same situation with Nihilum but Nihilum can hold its own in a fight.

Ancient Dawn was an result of an Guildmerge of Ancient Orden and Ebon Dawn. Before this we were Ancient Orden (not Ancient Order), and had to merge at some point because of numbers.
Ancient Orden was allied with Defiant while Kunark, thats true. After we started to regulary getting mobs Defiant wanted, we canceled this ;-) I remember the discussion we had about this.
After this there was war between Defiant and AO, but allways pretty friendly by the way. Same same vs Ebon Dawn.

AD Killed Coirnav first and entered PoTime. Coirnav was the last boss Defiant AND AD missed before entering Time.
We killed Coirnav on an guildmeeting in Stockholm, while several Defiants were in the same Internet Cafe.
I am from VZ, Bonuzz. I was in Die Ringtraeger, then in Ancient Orden and then in Ancient Dawn. I left VZ at the end of GoD, after AD was the first guild to beat Uqua at lv 65 (on vz), before Defiant was able to do it.

[Tue Feb 04 11:00:47 2014] Nizzar says out of character, '2 groups engagement, need guild LNS'
[Tue Feb 04 11:00:54 2014] Dibandicus says out of character, 'all or nothing guild has to call it sorry'
[Tue Feb 04 11:00:56 2014] Elderan says out of character, 'cant ask for personal LNS when you are in guild vs guild pvp'
[Tue Feb 04 11:01:14 2014] Axiom says out of character, 'LnS'
[Tue Feb 04 11:52:27 2014] Zibby says out of character, 'either way red dawn is not calling LNS, no member has authorization to do so, if they do they are guild
removed'
This convo took place in between above logs, at 1145
http://i.imgur.com/m63uLdw.jpg
So I don't have the full picture here, Because despite public logs I have only showing him calling self LNS. Did you or did you guys not call a guild LNS or say it in tells to a opposition player/force in solb? Only reason you stopped being pk'd was because of this. And afaik(no proof to show how fortunate) an officer did call LNS from RD.
Can the real Leader/LNS caller please stand up. I am starting to see why all these pnp rules can be confusing when people start taking them to private tells instead of /ooc it because they don't want others to see it done for fear of weakness? who knowz

Not a damn thing, I don't care tbh. But its great how you represent your family friendly guild that everyone gets along in and has no problems and a perfect DKP system where people just want to blow their DKP they have and bail while its worth anything :)
Only when its someone I know I can post of and get either them or other people like yourself jimmys rustled hard like I just accomplished. Thanks for that ;)
I'm sure people who leave do so because of the DKP system and not because one guild due to the reality of the server is able to lock down 95% of the content.
Fact: If people like Thrilla would leave they would stand to benefit long term more from the loot system employed by Red Dawn than Nihilum, and this goes for the majority of veteran members. The fact that those players don't want to make a "risky" move has no bearing on whether the system is viable or not [it is]. I used bid DKP in the top guild on Xegony for over 12 years.

Solution = training
Yea just dont understand. GMS comment on every thread except threads that actually imply ideas that will promote server growth and most important of all PVP. Getting ready to quit tbh if theres not more pvp. The week of the massive pvp in dreadlands was probably the most fun ive had on box in over two years. Sad that kind of pvp fun happened almost everyday on VZTZ. Maybe not on that big of a scale but the point is Nihilum disregards and is actually against any attempt to change this stagnant server of pixel farming. Shits getting old fast brews. QQ

To Oppressor, if you want to see some threads on variance just bump the countless threads from the last 3 months. It is out there. There is 0 reason to not have variance and the GMs even challenged Nihilum to come up with a reason against it. They failed.
In addition to variance making sense Elderan threatened to quit the server if he has to log in more than 3 hours to kill all raid dragons every week. Win/Win for everyone.

Well going to bed. Like I said before, AD was made during luclin...
And no the rathe consil or whatever it was called was the bottom neck for all PvP servers to get to PoTime.
AD was made early PoP, not luclin.

what makes you think nizzar wont recruit incoming neckbears from blue?
the box issues cannot be solved by rules and regulations, its the players.

No variance does not allow for competition, even years after the box was released Nagafen is still easily killed with a time commitment of about 30 mins out of a week.
If GM's do not address the static timer and how easymode this box is for the #1 guild it will continue to stay low pop and uninteresting/boring.
We have years of experience with Red99, we know it doesn't work - one guild has kept all mobs down the entire time, it's too easy.
It isn't even a debate anymore, this is broken.

well, exactly.
it's a player issue, if players are so weak minded that they leave it "to the rest" to fix the server and mindlessly fall into the pixel loot queue that is called nihilum there wont be any server to play on soon enough

Explain to me how rerolling my character to a race I prefer is being massively "immersed"? Don't get me wrong, I've been laying a lot lately, but most you bros been playing this much for multiple years :/
Still not understanding how me rerolling is an insult, I'm having fun :))))))

There wasn't a resistance at that time. Holocaust was known as the bad guys because they pked everyone. Then they got banned and quit. Shortly after people realized having the number 1 guild that hides in the darkness for 3 years downing raid content at 6 am was way worse.
