Anyone give me the short version of RedDawn final days

[Khellendros]

Had my computer die a horrible death and had several toons in RedDawn. . Moved to a new state and now that things are settled thinking of getting back into red 99. Just curious what kind of reception Hexica and Khellion will get. . Last I played I was in red dawn but I don't think it exists anymore.

[Eslade]

Red dawn disbanded when we couldn't keep members when the xp bonus went away with no replacement. Now members are divided between all guilds or quit. So as far as toon acceptance you'll be fine wherever you go.

[Khellendros]

Cool.. Never really had any major issues with anyone lol.

GMs let the resistance perish.

[Khellendros]

Who's the new under dog guild?

[Pitborn]

Blacks.

[Eslade]

Who's the new under dog guild?

Hokuten is similar to how red dawn was. Good times in that guild.

[Kergan]

GMs let the resistance perish.

Only reason RD had any success at all was because they didn't consider themselves the resistance.

[Khellendros]

Cool thanks. . Be on in the next few days. . Hope to see you all

[Khellendros]

Had some good pvp fights. . Was getting easier to at least get away on my enchanter

[mostbitter]

the real answer ? Heartbrand happened

[Smedy]

Top jew had multiple nihilum symphathizers close to him , they had creeped in like a plague and was whispering seeds into his ears

Top jew and the Mexican were both hard to work with, but essentially red dawn choose to fight azrael and hand holding with nihilum even though nihilum was the true bad guy.

Anyone handholding with nihilum will end up in nihilum so that's exactly what happened

Pretty close actually

[Pikrib]

It was a fun time before the end. 3 guilds were going hard. Raid mobs were being pretty evenly split between the 3 guilds. There was tons of mass pvp. Nihilum and Azrael were grinding each other to dust while RD was sniping mobs.

RD used to be more of a leveling guild much like Hokuten is now. So when the XP nerf hit a lot of people just stopped logging on. Sektor got banned and any character that he had ever logged on to. It took the GMs months unban people. Even more people took breaks/left the server.

Lite and HB didn't seem to be able to compromise on mob splits and Azrael started going hard on RD members because RD worked with Nihilum to split mobs. At the end RD went from 70 people to about 25. 20 or so were Azrael members who left when the server introduced simulated repops and the rest was due to poor staff decisions imo.

The server was at 200+ pop then <100 after XP nerf/ banning’s. The server just can't support 3 guilds when the pop is that low. We fizzled out and most of the officers joined Nihilum, Some of the regular crew joined Azrael, and a lot of the lower levels joined Uprising which was a leveling guild that died recently when Hokuten was formed.

The server is looking more positive now. Pop is up which is good, but so is Nihilum's zerg force which is bad. If there is a prime time repop I would guess Nihilum could easily log in 65 for a raid force. Myself and others are trying to help out Hokuten. For instance last week I helped Azrael kill Draco, and Azrael just gave the loot to Hokuten.

Azrael is in hibernation at this point after ruling the server for a few months.

Nihilum is on top again after mass recruiting most of the new people who joined the server when the xp bonus was introduced.

Hokuten is the new resistance. It’s and is fun but I miss a lot of my pals.

[Kergan]

I'm sure Hokuten really appreciated those spined dragon claws and other various garbages.

Also 10% gay by his own admission.

[Kergan]

Naw I said I'm 90% sure I'm not gay there is a difference.







I think...

[Cheesypoof]

Kergan is 10% sure he is gay.

[Not Salem]

Sure is nice having a stable core of players, no need to gear a revolving door of randoms for years on end to keep gearing the core players sick desire to have 6-7 fully VP geared alts. Feels good to not even care about a BCG because none of my pals could even use 1.

[Kergan]

Yeah would be great if everyone just quit after getting geared.

Good to see all vets aren't bitter.
Great post regarding guild histories.

[Rellapse40]

the real answer ? Heartbrand happened

[Rellapse40]

i keep looking at it and getting the feeling of being ugly n alone

[Tradesonred]

Thats bullshit. I was there at the time.

What happened is this:

Heartbrand submitted to the guild on TS the nihilum proposal, which was to not raid with Azrael and we would get some raid targets. We could still PVP against Nihilum, we could still group with Azrael, but not raid with Azrael. Personally i didnt like most of Azrael so it wasnt a difficult choice, but it was pretty unanimous. No raiding with Azrael vs getting cool people like Thresh their epic, no brainer.

This kind of horizontal decision making would have never happened in Azrael, Lite would have just taken a bad decision without consulting anyone, and thats why out of every guild ive been in, i liked Heartbrand's leadership style the most.

It was Azrael who then decided to go on the warpath, nothing was set in stone at that point.

My reasoning was that Azrael wasnt going anywhere with their toxic roster and Lite as a leader so who cares if we annoy them a little. Turns out they were annoyed alot. And i wasnt there for the final days of RD but i think what happened is Azrael took advantage of RD's low numbers cuz of xp nerf to finish them off. What Smedy Goebbels's propaganda calls "Choosing to fight Azrael".

[Kergan]

Lite so good at torpedoing guilds he can do it even when not a member, impressive.

[Bazia]

lets all criticize lite who is the only person who has successfully contended with Nihilum at any point in the servers history

he could be in nihilum in 8 seconds, i for one respect his commitment to server health by sacrificing pixels and time in order to at least have flashes of an actual pvp server here

[Not Salem]

so what ecolis is saying is heartbrands bad decision making and lite's superior leadership/guild smashed Red Dawn into breaking up and joining Nihilum, sounds like it was a good guild

[Kergan]

lets all criticize lite

Ok!

I was trying to convince people to crush lite while i was playing the game because hes so bad at leading and discourages people into logging off the game with his loot council bullshit, so that out of the rubble something else than Azrael could emerge.

Yes he knows the game a bit, he played VZTZ for a while, ok. That doesnt make him a leader. His huge ego and lust for pixels probably killed a possible resistance more than anything else on this server. The only reason that hes still there is the low pop of the server makes it hard to attempt a third option.

[Kergan]

so what ecolis is saying is heartbrands bad decision making and lite's superior leadership/guild smashed Red Dawn into breaking up and joining Nihilum, sounds like it was a good guild

So what you are saying is Lite decided to focus his efforts on destroying a new player/leveling guild instead of fighting Nihilum?

[Bazia]

before lite started running a resistance guild server pop was 13 ppl

thats wut a 1 server guild looks like

thank u lite for ur sacrifice

[Kergan]

On behalf of Nihilum I'd like to thank him for sacrificing his guild about 22 times.

[Tradesonred]

Nizzar has like 10 times the leadership skills that Lite has, with half the ego.

[Eslade]

Because he's running a business, his livelihood depends on you neckbeards following what he says and not asking questions.

Lite plays for fun.

Nah i open my mouth, thats why it wasnt gonna work out for me in Nihilum, i wasnt gonna take shit and not say anything because i want my pixels.

Thats something ill agree on, Nihilum is like a business operation. People shut up when the boss is being an asshole cuz your "job" is at stake.

Id still play in Nihilum any day of the week vs being under Lite's boot though, that says alot.

Guild politics and raid loot are the worst part of Everquest.

good thread, reading it again

[Khellendros]

Sorry lite didn't mean for this to turn into a bashing thread.. You only killed me a few times but your guild helped me a lot too at odd times lol. All In all pvp on a pvp server is what it was all about.. can't wait to get back into it.. But it will be a while whatever I did to my laptop trying to install a new hard drive has not worked.. so ill be looking to buy one that works rather then try to role play a computer repair person.. so whenever I find one that will run eq on my poor white boy budget I will be back in the red 99 fold
