Server's just not fun, getting banned for accepting an item from a friend. Forcing yourself to document every exchange you do in fear of getting perma banned.

Also I enjoyed my time hanging out with TMO but trying to go up against a guild that is to big and has been farming the server for about a year now would take so much effort and time just to try to contest them and I don't believe in any of the current leadership on this server to go up against empire.


Keep in mind none of my accounts are currently banned and I still have everything the forums are still funny which is why I read them but I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.

Like many others have said, there isn't much to look forward to in this game. Play if you have fun, quit if you don't.

Many people are enjoying other games. If you want some scale pvps go to TMO/CS.
If you want to raid endlessly with 80 other people to get 1 piece of loot in a month, join Empire.

Good luck and have fun.

Yeah Dreyo. Have fun playing 20hours a day on a box, eatting hot pockets all day long talking to your 80 guildies that all hate you while you raid, not getting to use your loot at all in pvp.

I think everyone thought this box was going to be fun with just 1 large guild, no contesting. I still play because I pvp everyday in somewhat large scale pvp vs CS. We have fun, we don't shit talk each other and we help each other CR afterwards and then we go our ways. I still have some fun, do you?

Everyone on the server thinks they are the best at everything and velious was a reality check. It's why friends sit at POM tree hoping for a naked cr kill, why tmo sticks to HOT, and why cs etc does whatever they do. The server is so inundated with anti social gimps that it cant support another guild even fielding 40 people because of all the conflicting egos. It's not a population problem, it's a fucktard problem that can't be fixed.

I feel like you are on the verge of a self inflictijg.mace wound and hope you get better. If you aren't having fun with your 18 other guild members try recruiting to do content? Ever quest is not a linear game and if you chose to stay small and do no content then that's your own decision, not the fault of anyone else. Grown man baby.

Some people don't want to join a zerg guild for raid content. I don't see why that's so difficult to understand or, God forbid, acknowledge. I personally don't see the fun in locking down raid content through sheer numbers alone. One of the main draws of this server is supposed to be large-scale PvP fights, particularly over raid content. It adds an additional element to the endgame besides gearing. However, that draw is marginalized when a bunch of people flock to a single guild to zerg raid content. It just seems counterinuitive to promote a playstyle that will ultimately shorten the lifespan of the server as well as diminish one of its better qualities.

It's not hard to understand. Nobody is forcing anyone to recruit and nobody is starving any other guild from content. Velious requires a certain amount of players, so the guilds that ARE interested in end game bosses need to have the size to do it.

Friends "chooses" to stay small are the ones that are complaining about not having members enough to do anything. Weird.

I don't really see thunderdome, casual scum, or TMO crying (except Brobb). And I know Casual scum and TMO both raid.

Thunderdome is effectively a leveling guild at this point.

I'm not saying that this dynamic prevents raiding altogether. However, how often can TMO actually contest a raid mob against Empire? It seems to me like anything Empire chooses to raid belongs to them due to the inability of other guilds to field the same numbers.

Sure, other guilds can try to recruit more, but recruits will still be drawn to Empire anyways due to its ability to lock out content, thus resulting in a negative feedback loop that reinforces the status quo.

Vztz was bluer by definition because it dumbed down the content so you could 2 box it with 5 other people. Legacy of zek/roflonzek offer the same experience of that's all you care to do.

TMO might not be going head to head Empire, because you are correct, empire has a deeper roster and has been clearing end game.mobs so has a.much bigger gear advantage. That's nobodies fault thougg, both guilds are playing the game the way they decided to play the game.

Empire has a very relaxed schedule and you can set your calendar and watch to it. They also leave a lot of mobs up for the convenient raiding schedule without poopsocming and work in the prime time evening (after working hours with a reasonable bed time, including a norm of a 3 day weekend "off days").

Hardly some detrimental powerhouse preventing anyone from.experiencing content and progressing their guilds.

The server is what you make it. It's not hard to figure out how to accomplish things.

You sound upset empire is accomplishing what you can not with cool normal bros on a very casual raid schedule. Stop being so salty and do something about it. Maybe if your groupd of <Friends> wasn't so toxic you could recruit people to contest? But no one cares cause you routinely shit on your members.

There is a reason on every single PVP server in the history of EQ the same exact thing has happened. It's not the people, or the server - it's the game. The draw of this server is to duplicate the classic experience which is exactly what has happened.

On a red server one guild dominating all the raid content is the natural balancing point for the server. People may not like it but it is the only outcome given enough time for a server like this. There is two main reasons for this.

The main draw of this game is character progression.

A secondary draw to game is UNFAIR pvp. Everyone wants there character to be stronger then the other guys so they can beat them up and prove their dick bigger.

Noone really wants a fair fight. Everyone wants to be stronger then there opponent in some way.

You might not like it or not be able to admit that but it's the truth.

Given that is the two main draws for this game two guilds actually competing with each other over raid content makes absolutely no sense. People really want UNFAIR pvp and people really want character progression. This will always lead to 1 dominate guild.

If the experiment was to repeat the same thing would happen. 1 completely dominate guild and a few other guilds taking the scraps.

zerg guild ... sheer numbers...

Funny since most guilds did it with more people on live... and you could resist things like fear reliably with 255 resists on live, and things like Zlandicar's stun were single target not AE, and there were no luclin era flurry drakes in ntov... etc....and they still needed more...

The reason people don't forumquest as hard/as much is because on live people didn't take the game so seriously (well not this seriously). Forumquesting is mostly people bitching and crying about losing because they can't hold a guild together full of greedy ego driven players, and framing it in a way that tries to make it appear they want 'more PvP' or 'what is best for the server'.

The rest is people bragging or trolling about something. There is really no value in anything that's posted on boards anymore, if there ever was.

Yeah, it makes sense why it would happen. It is just disappointing that there isn't more competition. In Live, there were expansions in the pipe. Here, though, once a character gets geared, that's it. They can fight other players, but there's no new content to look forward to. With more guilds competing for raid content, there would be more large-scale PvP and people wouldn't use up the remaining raid content as quickly.

Kergan
10-14-2015, 04:53 PM
There is a pretty heavy churn in players here. For every person who has been around since classic there are 50 that played for 6 months, got geared and then quit. That keeps the top guild consistently raiding and not getting bored, disbanding and PVPing for the fun of it.

lite, I don't believe we've had any interaction but I respect your FQ game. However, I must respectfully disagree with the notion that Velious, under any circumstances, results in anything but zergs.

It happened on live on Vallon Zek. Sirken was in the zerg defiant that loot whored its way to invincible numbers.

It happend on the original prog servers. I was in an "ap" guild when my crew zoned into fear, helped the main guild recover from a wipe and I tanked the cazic that dropped the soul leech, which gave us the power to unlock velious whenever we were ready by completing the SK epic, the last thing needed for unlock. These guys were terrible players, but they had the foresight to swell their numbers just as Velious was opening and they had an ap guild with twice their numbers while the main guild got first refusal on all loot.

Velious content requires x numbers. On a pvp server, it requires x numbers for PvE and a sufficient force in excess of x to either handle PvP as it happens or, more likely, to be so overwhelming as to make PvP not an option for rival guilds. Velious is never going to turn out any other way. Four years of Kunark didn't cause this. Velious caused this.

too bad lite merged together a 130 man raidforce months before velious and then let it fall to pieces after losing a week and a half of mass pvp fights, causing most of those people to quit the game

always been anti zerg, joined the movement to be good sports. Would be pretty fucked up if a guild with our PVP legacy didn't help out.


Whatever you gotta say to try and throw attention from the fact that you talked shit about Nihilum's zerging and raid schedules, just to PVE harder than they ever could.

lite has always been anti zerg, but he made by far the largest zerg this server has ever and probably will ever see

real shame the leadership couldn't hold it together

shocker that I gave you all of Nizzar's zerglings so you could fulfill your dreams of being in a hardcore raiding guild.

I am weird like that.

i'll never forget the day you amassed 130 people in KC and lost to 80 of us, even though you got 40 kills in a row from desynch right off the bat

Was even numbers, and most were OOR, every guild was in their own teamspeak.

But you gotta cling to whatever you can, when the alternative is to discussing your PVE addiction.

Why did you immediate give up after that loss? Clearly you identified some easy to address issues. If you guys had instead redoubled your efforts on leveling, found a way to unify your communications and pressed on maybe you'd have your dream server of multiple guilds competing. Empire didn't just immediately emerge as the top guild the second Nihilum was disbanded - it took months.

The biggest issue this server has had with competition is that a weeks worth of losing has always equaled the losing side giving up. Even Nihilum did this when Nizzar took his D3 break, content to just log out until he came back aside from some of the hardcores.

anti zerg/red guilds have a history of logging 50 people on at 4am on a weekend for uncontested venril sathir's 12 hours after the #1 guild is disbanded

no thank you.

All of it has a trickle down effect. True competition would have meant more time and energy spent over high priority targets, opening up more things for smaller guilds to try. True competition has a pretty short expiration date due to the amount of people who take the path of least resistance, but if it could have dragged out a few months the effect on the server would have been enormous. Plus by then Velious would have been much more real, and even the side losing ground would have had ample opportunity to reverse their fortune.

50vs50 pvp does pretty much blow, but it was the only away to accomplish what you wanted the server to be. No amount of simulated repops would have changed that.

Sometimes I wonder what it is you're all really bored with, the content or each other.

I ForumQuest in the screenshots section. Rest of my time is spent in Norrath having fun and meeting people instead of pontificating about the meta-game.


This is so true. The more time I spent reading the forums, the more jaded I become about the endgame content even though I haven't even been in a raid yet. People are probably better off not paying attention to the forums. I've only ever felt negative about P1999 when reading posts here.

If you play actively at all you shouldn't be on RNF. This is for retired and/or banned players to insult each other.
