Well this kinda sucks. I figured after kunark being out for like 4 years that Velious would get a decent run or at least more people might have had an opportunity to participate in this. That being said, congrats all it's awesome that the server has lived to see this moment.
Was fun racing and competing with you Rampage. Hoku, sorry your leaving but you gave it a hell of an effort for a really long time. You created a guild to be proud of. We hope that the competition still exists with whatever guild comes of the Rampage/Taken merger and we look forward to providing hours of beatdown pleasure for months to come :)

Kunark kept our attention because we always had Velious "just around the corner." With Velious, it hit many of us that this is it, this is the end. As a guild we've dominated Velious for almost all of 6 months and it is a big sacrifice waking up at very odd hours, its not healthy and not normal behavior. Almost the entire guild is extremely happy about how P99 ended. We could have continued on and gone back and forth with who the new #1 or new #2 guild is just like we did on Kunark but to us it wasnt worth it. We're going out 6 months into Velious with nothing left to kill, nothing left to prove. It's been fun.

I guess it's not the worst thing cause now lesser guilds can slowly make their way through that end game content if the people who have finished it move on to other things. OR, the poopsock contest for dominance among the top guilds will just continue anyway!

I think the point is that, for the other 95% of the P99 playerbase, Velious certainly hasn't "ended" as you out it. Just because you burned out in the first 6 months after the expansions release doesn't mean that others didn't ultimately look forward to, eventually, entering ST and killing the Warders for themselves.

It was fun to watch the twitch. Made my husband watch it, but he just sort of gave me the "Oh yeah... that's, cool?" and went back to doing his own thing. He doesn't understand the whole EQ thing, ah well.
As to being upset or something that the warders won't spawn... I mean I get it. It sucks that the limited content is now even smaller, but meh. I lost my roll on the mask back in classic and was trounced by the sleeper when it awoke on my server back then. I've just sort of accepted that sometimes there are those rare items you'll never get.
It's what makes them cool. My thoughts on her being asleep or awake don't matter. It was still fun watching her rampage again after so many years. Hell of a way for a guild to go out, no matter what your viewpoint.

History repeats itself, you guys did the same thing back in Kunark when the competition started to heat up, quit competing and sold ur pixels for cash. Don't try to act like you're "walking away" all of a sudden. Grats on doing exactly what everyone expected you to do and proving that you guys are scum. I personally wish rampage stayed together though, raiding going to be awfully boring without that competition.
I feel bad for all the people in Rampage who left their guilds to jump aboard the pixel frenzy early on in velious, only to have the core of IB abandon them when times got tough. :o

what an accomplishment
be sure to put it on your next arbys resume, rampage
since Vulak was just stolen a few weeks ago , and w/ consistent steals the competition was starting to heat up.
Guessing the main core burnt out (lots have) , so the "warm bodies" will be looking to play still?
Most of the tramps posting here believe they "won" because they got a primal? There are so many that drop it was near rot status for ramp.
The core though , stacked up dual scepters of big D and other big cash items , most being full BestNslot.
If anyone won it was them , IMO that sucks for the regular guild working guy.
EQ is easy to burnout when there really is nothing to loot.
What happened last time IB quit playing p99 ? did the members reform and just officers leave?
What path will they choose?
Will Taken score a merge?

Pretty disappointing to see the competition leave. Things started heating up a few months ago and FA had been starting to dominate more recently. In Rampage's defense I think they just stopped caring/trying.
It was fun Rampage. /salute.
All the Rampage fan boys that were cheering about the fact that there was one mega guild dominating the server at the start of Velious - this is exactly what we said would end up happening. Monoploize Sleepers>Get caught up to>burn out>wakey wakey.
Doubt this would have happened if FA didn't :
1) make the raid scene fairer by removing "Mallet spamming with AF" (see Moosejaw fraps for example)
2) catch up to ,then overtake Rampage forcing them into merging with a Zerg of warm bodies , then continue to still dominate said alliance
But there's enough RMT with ST loot to buy a shiny new bicycle for your paper rounds so I guess that's a win.

Forsaken got dominated. Asgard got dominated. You allied to form a mega-alliance and months later BEGAN to "catch up to" us.

Wow skew.
We got dominated on ST key mobs until ironically you merged (all those Taken guys falling asleep) but apart from the early months in ToV (when we lost some of our more loot hungry pixel whores to you) that zone was on a way one trend to being owned by FA. See year to date kill lists.
Removing mallet- spamming on spawns seems to be the straw that broke Hokushin and thus rampages back. He made his displeasure obvious on Sirkens stream.
Pretty disappointing to see the competition leave. Things started heating up a few months ago and FA had been starting to dominate more recently. In Rampage's defense I think they just stopped caring/trying.
Over the past few months, we had several people quit or "indefinitely afk." I don't blame em either, when you beat every mob and know that this is the last expansion this server will see, it's hard to get motivated to put in the crazy effort that CoTHquest requires. I'm glad I won't have to deal with any more 3am Vulak Windows or Fraps wars and can get back to enjoying casual EQ.

All i feel is that the server lost some of its goals to work towards to, which is a big reason to play on a nostalgic server like p99. Also with people leaving the world will be more empty. Overall it just makes me sad that the people here couldnt find a way to prevent this from happening and value their pride and self-righteousness over the most of the server population. Anyways good luck to the people leaving the server, I just hope your scorched earth behaviour doesnt give you any satisfaction cause after all you just made this little world a little lighter.

So waking up the sleeper is depriving the server of 3 items?
is this what those idiots are so proud of ?
hm ok lol.
Feels like you guys got beat big time and have thrown the towel but meh, what ever floats your boat.
I mean, its pretty amusing to hear you claim autofire when Detoxx was banned for that just yesterday.
Anyway, convincing Sirken to overthrow the player made agreement and go back to COH-quest was a brilliant move on your part. Two magicians can't really cover all of NTOV, so you started by picking up uncontested dragons just by putting your mages in other places. And then, with each dragon taking 3x the tracker time (1 monk on a spawn point -> monk+mage+bind sight tracker) , you just waited for Rampage to burn out while zerg recruiting a whole bunch of hungry people and offering them a lot of DKP for tracking. The whole business was a near carbon copy of Kunark launch, really, with the difference that there was no content to lock in Kunark.
It's sad that, unlike EQ Mac, we won't have a full Sleeper's Tomb for years for everyone to enjoy the classic content. But I blame the staff here: variance encourages this hypercompetitive raid scene, because when you've been staring at the wall for 16 hours you really want to kill the fucking mob. It will be interesting to see how the server changes over the next year or so. I hope this leads to a less competitive and more nostalgic environment, but I kinda doubt it.

Fix binding in ToV.
Ban CotHing in Velious zones for purposes of FTEing.
Reduce Variance hugely so mobs overlap a lot more.
Make suspensions actually hurt. A 5-day Forsaken suspension is laughable. No mobs are even in window because the server reset happened. 2-cycle suspensions on single mobs are also laughable considering you need rock solid Fraps for anything to happen, guilds have proven they are better off breaking the rules every time and hoping they didn't have good enough FRaps.
Make bannings actually hurt. Getting caught on fraps using bannable 3rd party programs to cheat, then swapping characters to your main in the same fraps... Yet you only ban the alt, lol. Probably was only a suspension anyways.
Raid scene has always sucked here. I dream of days I can tell my guild at 7PM Sunday we will start buffing in ToV and begin crawling through North and at around 10-11PM we call it quits after slaying a few Dragons.
Raev, when Moosejaw posted those fraps at Cekenar it confirmed what we all suspected (that cycle you guys won I think every "jav spam" FTE with our FTErs saying the mobs appeared to be running into the world you were so quick. Odds on that?)
Since we had no upside to compete with AF we wanted as many variables as possible so removing the player made agreement was obvious first step.
I'm impressed no one in either alliance CoTH ducked either , so at least we could agree to that.
Raiding here has always been a war of attrition , you know that.
Highly doubt it changes or becomes less competitive ( why not play another prog or Red99 if it's a casual game you seek?)

Raid scene has always sucked here. I dream of days I can tell my guild at 7PM Sunday we will start buffing in ToV and begin crawling through North and at around 10-11PM we call it quits after slaying a few Dragons.
It would be so great to log on at an agreed upon time, see what's up and go kill it for a couple hours.
Nope.
Make suspensions actually hurt. A 5-day Forsaken suspension is laughable. No mobs are even in window because the server reset happened. 2-cycle suspensions on single mobs are also laughable considering you need rock solid Fraps for anything to happen, guilds have proven they are better off breaking the rules every time and hoping they didn't have good enough FRaps.
Make bannings actually hurt. Getting caught on fraps using bannable 3rd party programs to cheat, then swapping characters to your main in the same fraps... Yet you only ban the alt, lol. Probably was only a suspension anyways..
Was Catherine your GL when he was caught admitting on a vent recording to using AF at Noble? And how many of Taken's core/officers did he have to snitch on to get off with a 1 week suspension? Glasses houses and all that old boy.

Raev, when Moosejaw posted those fraps at Cekenar it confirmed what we all suspected (that cycle you guys won I think every "jav spam" FTE with our FTErs saying the mobs appeared to be running into the world you were so quick. Odds on that?)
Since we had no upside to compete with AF we wanted as many variables as possible so removing the player made agreement was obvious first step.
I'm impressed no one in either alliance CoTH ducked either , so at least we could agree to that.
Raiding here has always been a war of attrition , you know that.
Highly doubt it changes or becomes less competitive ( why not play another prog or Red99 if it's a casual game you seek?)
You guys Coth ducked on several occasions just so you know.

Specifically there were a lot of Tormax's where I saw your mage Coth ducking, and then there was some coth ducking at Vulak right after the new rules were put in.
You guys calmed down eventually, and I have not seen any ducking in the past few weeks, but you were definitely doing it for a while there on key targets.

I'll take your word for it as with so many mobs and hours to cover someone for a brief period may have monged out but our regular coth team who did most of the work didn't and the occasional time someone asked to do it in TS they were told by Os and others a resounding NO. It didn't seem to be a feature in our FTE races with you for 95% of the time.
Raiding here has always been a meat grinder. I play a lot, but I consider myself a casual because I don't get up at night and I don't track 10+ hours a week. I haven't seen these Moosejaw fraps. Anyway, as I said it was a good plan and it worked, aside from the Shroud/SoD part <shrug>
And yeah Daldaen, I'm kinda disappointed in Sirken's ruling there. What is the point of suspending a guild for 'for volume of infractions' for 5 days during which no raid mobs will spawn? And even the KT suspension seems like a slap on the wrist. It frustrates me because I think with just a bit of work (automatic repops and GMs somewhat less insane than Greengrocer) raiding on this server could be really fun. But I've pretty much accepted that they like this better.
Dear friends,
Congratulations. I wish I could have been there with you. Waking the sleeper is a dream of a lot of people, I'm glad you got to do it. After the thousands of hours invested in this server you deserve to see the final boss of the game.
We shouldn't bother responding to all the people trying to diminish Rampage's accomplishments. If they can't see that Rampage was the most dominant guild to ever play on P99 then they're delusional and will most likely not be reasoned with.
I hope I play other games with you in the future. If anyone here that knows me would like to add me on Battle.net or steam, just PM me here or Rampage boards and we'll get together.
Love,
Franswa

This isn't fair to say about our suspension, Daldean. The GM long standing rule is that every issue must at least have been discussed or tried to be resolved between guilds independently before bringing the issues to petitions. Not a single one of these infractions were brought up with Forsaken leadership before being petitioned and the opportunity to remedy whatever the initial problem was, was never granted.
And, in surprised at you really believing that's auto fire when we both know you can spam a temp staff faster than that with a single key. Turn your logs on and try it.
I'm not in here to white knight for anyone, but Dald, I know you're more of an independent thinker than that -

Nah... Tmo members got banned for rmt... any guild has that. IB/TR's member base organized a GM assisted RMT operation with the same GM that raid suspended them.

Not for lack of trying on my part! I think the raid scene would be much healthier if everyone would post fraps in Raid Discussion.

Yeah everyone else is out of luck. But honestly, that's how it should be. Sure I would have personally preferred another year or so of pre-sleeperwakening Velious, but the whole reason Everquest is great is that not everyone gets to have everything. If you neckbeard hard enough you deserve to have some kind of special recognition and having loot nobody else can have is a form of that. We were all driven here by the shitty modern MMO's, which feel soulless precisely because they hold your hand and everyone gets to be a hero (and thus nobody, really). And I mean, there are still tons of high end items to get that most people will probably never have a prayer of seeing anyway.
EDIT: Oh and also all this shit already got got like, coming up on 20 years ago.

Probably not.
Tough to keep staring at a wall for 16 hours to poopsock a mob you've already killed solo 20+ times, for gear you don't need because you've already beaten every mob in game 5+ times.
It will be the same deal with most guilds on this server. Nothing is coming in the future, Velious is all there is. Once the next guild has killed Tunare, and Sontalak, and Zlandicar, and AoW, and Tunare, and 10th Ring War and Vulak 5-10-15-20 times, the people waking up at 3 AM for Batphones and those tracking from sunrise to sunset will stop, and figure out going hard like that isn't worth it and they'll just quit.
It was a similar situation to what we faced on the Mac server. The content was locked for 10 years and due to bugs, archaic mechanics and low population on the server, it steadily progressed through PoP to EPs and eventually PoTime. Once everything but Quarm was beaten, we started hemorrhaging members. Those who stuck around, only stuck around to raid with Guildies/Friends. It's a lot more appetizing to do this twice a week from 8:30-10 or 11. Rather than responding to 25-30 Batphones throughout each week at ungodly hours.

Yea pretty much this, If we really really wanted to stick around we could still compete, it would likely have turned into a situation similar to how Kunark was, where the top guild basically swapped every month or two.
But honestly why would we? We accomplished our goals, we got the overwhelming majority of Server firsts, there is no real need for gear since we killed most of the current raid targets in Kunark gear. Why would we subject ourselves to the torture of tracking hundreds of hours a week, for shit that we have already done multiple times?

Wow skew.
You guys got dominated and lost your uncontested kills. You no longer had the numbers advantage you had at the start of Velious that you had by and alliance and merge with A-team. You then tried to alliance with Taken to fix that and continued to lose after a good start with them. Your core of monks and fte'ers on spawns got mad that they couldn't sit on spawns and use autofire anymore and left. Stop with the rhetoric. When the game became fair and competitive you guys tucked tail and ran away.
Detoxx did not use autofire so that rhetoric needs to stop too. Anyone seeing that video going around can see pretty clearly no autofire was used.

Watch Sirken's recent stream where he interviews Hokushin, he mentions it specifically and even notes that not a single Gharn's has dropped since Velious has been released. In all their Vulak kills not one Gharn's dropped.
In the past month or so Forsaken/Asgard has gotten Vulak more often than Rampage, but still no Gharn's...until yesterday. F/A killed Vulak, got the server's first Gharn's. It obviously didn't go to Hokushin. A couple hours later he decides he's quitting and to wake the Sleeper.

A lot of people didn't even come back to this server until Velious. Rampage by then was a large monopoly guild after the TMO model. They accomplished a lot of what TMO was able to do in Kunark. So they had a massive head start (mostly thanks to TMO ban).
The minute Asgard and Forsaken were able to get the numbers they needed to kill dragons, Rampage's loot started to decline. Despite the massive advantage they started Velious, they began to be overtaken by FA.
So you can pretend you won the server -- but to me it looks like the second there was any real competition you guys fucked off. Well before huge swaths of your membership had half the gear they wanted.

In all seriousness thou you forget the GM's could decide to just put him back to sleep, or allow the warders to repop anyway... its always been at their choice, that's what you must come to realize when playing on a privately run server. They try and be fair and balanced in their decision's like a normal company run server simply from an ethical stand-point, but they are by no means legally obligated to do so, If they wanted to they could outright ban all of my accounts and simply send me a email saying "We don't like you" and Id have no recourse against them, because their service is free, and they are not a for profit game company trying to appease everyone.
There is also the chance the GM's never put him back to sleep, that is also by their choice not Rampage's. Whatever they decide to do with Sleeper's Tomb changes nothing, Rampage had their fun, and Awoke him and got their retirement Gift /Server first / History Milestone. And having done that they really had nothing at least at the time being to look forward too (which can be pretty depressing), who knows maybe Custom content in the future will awaken all the sleeping characters now forever camped inside the Sleepers tomb bubble....

A lot of people didn't even come back to this server until Velious. Rampage by then was a large monopoly guild after the TMO model. They accomplished a lot of what TMO was able to do in Kunark. So they had a massive head start (mostly thanks to TMO ban).
The minute Asgard and Forsaken were able to get the numbers they needed to kill dragons, Rampage's loot started to decline. Despite the massive advantage they started Velious, they began to be overtaken by FA.
So you can pretend you won the server -- but to me it looks like the second there was any real competition you guys fucked off. Well before huge swaths of your membership had half the gear they wanted.
This is exactly how it went down, lol.

I don't raid, nor do I ever plan to (have been in hardcore raid guilds on live and I just don't care about that anymore), but choosing to "beat the game" by waking sleeper, then quitting, was a pretty dick move.
Nah it was a pretty good move IMO. Detoxx/TMO + Asgard are the most toxic/salty players on this server. Just look at their current raid suspension as proof. Rampage had to drop the mic with style.
They had nothing left to achieve, and The Forsaken Order was foaming at the mouth to do the same. Rampage played with dignity, no lawyerquest to win bullshit that we've been seeing Forsaken do for *years*.

how the fuck all you idiots have so many lvl 60's? looks like all you retards need to figure out your lifes
Hokushin wanted a Gharn's Rock (http://wiki.project1999.com/Gharn's_Rock_of_Smashing). Watch Sirken's recent stream where he interviews Hokushin, he mentions it specifically and even notes that not a single Gharn's has dropped since Velious has been released. In all their Vulak kills not one Gharn's dropped.
In the past month or so Forsaken/Asgard has gotten Vulak more often than Rampage, but still no Gharn's...until yesterday. F/A killed Vulak, got the server's first Gharn's. It obviously didn't go to Hokushin. A couple hours later he decides he's quitting and to wake the Sleeper.
This is not a coincidence.
interesting.....
if true I mean, couldn't he have just kept up the competition and eventually got one to drop off Vulak? Seems silly to rage quit over a competitor guild getting a drop you wanted.

Kunark kept our attention because we always had Velious "just around the corner." With Velious, it hit many of us that this is it, this is the end. As a guild we've dominated Velious for almost all of 6 months and it is a big sacrifice waking up at very odd hours, its not healthy and not normal behavior. Almost the entire guild is extremely happy about how P99 ended. We could have continued on and gone back and forth with who the new #1 or new #2 guild is just like we did on Kunark but to us it wasnt worth it. We're going out 6 months into Velious with nothing left to kill, nothing left to prove. It's been fun.
I mean you guys were successful, very successful when no one competed against you...As soon as competition showed up you guys threw in the towel and woke the sleeper :/

Your pretty dumb if you think its not autofire, anyone with scripting knowledge can see that it is. He clearly pre-targets, goes off screen to enable said script,(heres the important part), his cursor then SNAPS back to the EQ screen showing the script is now in control. The script then proceeds to wait for the "you have been summoned" text and IMMEDIATLEY engages the spam, the script then looks for the "Statue engages message" and IMMEDIATELY stops. I understand some of u just look at the video and say "O he only spammed the key 7 times that cant be autofire!?!?" sadly it is look for yourself.

"questionable fraps"? Its absolute proof autofire was used. The fraps you linked shows nothing, all you can see in your fraps are several people casting/auto attacking at the same time just a roll of the dice.
Except for the fact that Hokushin and Mahavishnu are in complete unison? The point is there is no concrete proof on either side but yet somehow Detoxx still got suspended?

My favorite part about this is how Hoku uses his gate pot o wait no, I mean he used his discipline! Nope not that either, how about him moving.... At all.... Wait no not that either. I wonder could it be he had a macro spamming the fuck with /target and using an ability or timed macro throwing his fucking javelin? Sirken ps dick has been sucked off more than enough from Hoku and rampage so nothing will ever come of it and their penalties and suspensions were pathetic.

I thought it was pretty impressive to get instant fte, he must have really been ontop of his game, but it was odd that he just stood there after the FTE and ate a death after several rounds. He had like 5 seconds to at least disc or pot. Oh well i suppose he was too preoccupied basking in the FTE glory. I just pulled after he ate it. heh

Take this video and slow it down to .25x. Notice they are in complete sync, and the druid you THINK was at the same time was about a half a second behind, and Hokushin doesnt even move. Then, he throws a Jav at it lol. Oh, lets not forget, they were the ONLY 2 Rampage members there out of the 50+ people on that spawn point. 100% Autofire lol. Also, it makes total sense that I would get a meeting with Sirken and Hokushin, to get rid of the agreements we had in Temple of Veeshan because it was so obvious they were auto firing, and change it to server rules (CoTH races) where auto fire is useless.
Also it makes 100% more sense that if I was auto firing, I would personally hand deliver them a Fraps of me doing it. My mouse went off the screen because I play in windowed mode and i clicked my other monitor, moved it back over to the EQ monitor and clicked again. It was a total of 2 seconds it was gone. Well played Hokushin, destroy my name then leave the server. /salute, you will be missed! Believe what you will though!

Now if u get a fraps of houkushin's first person view and see him pre-targeting/clicking off screen to start script/cursor snapping back to EQ screen, followed by no spam until the milisecond "you have been summoned" hits the screen followed by spam abruptly stopping when fte goes out, then you have some solid fraps sir.
WTF. If a script like that existed(I dunno seems weird your guild is talking about scripts like this). Why would you have to "Click off to turn it on" ? Wouldn't it always be running ? Because by your explanation it doesn't activate until a certain message goes off in your logs. How ignorant can you be ? If it's just a log parser that activates you wouldn't have to turn it on and off ya moran.

There was a reason we wanted the rules changed to server rules. They were clearly using an automation of some sort for FTE's. Why do you think when the rules got rid of that automation they used that the number of FTE's balanced out between the guilds competing for the mobs ? You didn't see weeks of one guild getting almost all of the FTE's after that. It took the mechanic they were using out of play.

Detoxx is so guilty FYI. Let me tell you an entertaining and true story.
On the repop everything but Sevalak and Sontalak was dead so we started prepping for Sontalak. Message comes down from Sirken we are suspended and Detoxx informs us in TS. A few minutes later he keys up his microphone again and says "Great now my Wizard is suspended too".
A few minutes passes as he tries to find out why.
Finally he comes back and says "It was suspended for Autofire where is ****(player name removed)" The person in question wasn't around. He then a few minutes later and clearly angry says "Thanks whoever got my Wizard banned for using it". We try to have a rational discussion about it all of us perplexed. What could possibly be autofired ? Everything was a CotH race. You aren't sitting on spawns why would anyone use it ? We assumed someone used his Wizard on something like Charisa or Ragefire.
Glad to know our competition immediately came to a conclusion that it was some sort of script being used. Goes to show it's probably something they were using. We had no clue something like that existed while we were discussing it in TS.

I wonder, just wonder, if the reason Rampage left is because what FA calls "competition" is so retarded that they don't want to get up at 3am for it? When you have to purposefully find ways to shit over every other guild being in the zone at the time, and hope they are not as good as lawyerquest as you, to "win", maybe, just maybe, a 17 year old elf simulator is no longer the respite from a busy life that we would all like it to be?
I don't mind competition, I love winning a race, and when loosing a fair race I'll applaud the competition, but when it becomes about who can create the smartest train to some obscure zone out and tag a mob, or who can sit in a pull path to make someone else concede, or who can train and hope noone has FRAPS running, then its not "a competitive raid environment", then its stupidity, and I really can't blame someone for not wanting to be part of that.
I know members of FA have a different view, but I appreciate how Rampage has treated the tier 2-3 guilds on the server since they came into play, they've understood that even if the VP/NToV was shitshows, it didn't have to be shitshows when they interacted with us, normal decency could work in that regard - and as such, Rampage has been a pleasant acquaintance.

What I bolded describes Rampage. I am not talking about their average day to day players. I am talking about their leadership in general. I was in a skype call with Sirken, Derubel, Unbrella and Hokushin once. Hokushin literally yelled at us "I will fraps everything and petition your guild to death". True story. They were still IB at the time and this guy became Rampages' Guild Leader. It's why I take breaks from time to time. Winning in raiding here isn't about skill like it was on live. It's about winning petitions when your guild is struggling. Rules have gotten rid of emergent gameplay and you are forced to play in a box. Variance also makes playing in that box pretty unbearable at times.
But yeah petitionquest. It's what IB/Rampage does best when they lose. They call foul and petition everything. BTW it wasn't us that started those types of pulls in ToV. Me and others told Detoxx we could pull that way before Velious released. He wouldn't let us. Eventually the competition started doing it so we did it as well. Detoxx didn't believe GM's would allow us to pull that way because it wasn't a closed zone like VP. So he told us we couldn't do it. You are pointing the finger at the wrong group of players for why things occur the way they do.

All I am doing is describing what I see from my position - everytime, and I do mean every single time, I have dealt with Rampage (or Taken) since launch of Velious it has been cordial, friendly, and respectful, and most importantly, mindful of the way we play the game - something we never get when dealing with "competition", who blatantly talks about how the goal is to crush everyone into obliteration and that all smaller guilds should merge into a big guild so they can get ST loot before someone wakes Sleeper, without realizing that we don't give a hoot about that, as long as we can get to slowly progress through content without having to deal with trainquest everytime we run into "competition".
When the sole goal of your existence is to "beat" or "crush" another guild, then you are playing the game in a way I just can't subscribe to. Rampage understood that, no matter what other flaws you think they had when dealing with "competition".

Rampage is such a pleasant acquaintance that they just shit on every single P99 player by waking the sleeper up and now leaving in a mass RMT wave.
I don't care why they left, its up to them, its a 16 year old elf simulator, who really cares why they left? The e-penis measuring about who is the best and who ran who off the server is pointless, we are trying to have fun, doing something recreational after work. All I care about is how Europa, and other more causal raiding guilds and their members, are treated in the actual game, and Rampage always did good on us, and I respect that. What they did to Forsaken, and Forsaken did to them, well, I wasn't there often enough to comment on it.

All I am doing is describing what I see from my position - everytime, and I do mean every single time, I have dealt with Rampage (or Taken) since launch of Velious it has been cordial, friendly, and respectful, and most importantly, mindful of the way we play the game - something we never get when dealing with "competition", who blatantly talks about how the goal is to crush everyone into obliteration and that all smaller guilds should merge into a big guild so they can get ST loot before someone wakes Sleeper, without realizing that we don't give a hoot about that, as long as we can get to slowly progress through content without having to deal with trainquest everytime we run into "competition".
When the sole goal of your existence is to "beat" or "crush" another guild, then you are playing the game in a way I just can't subscribe to. Rampage understood that, no matter what other flaws you think they had when dealing with "competition".
What are you even talking about ? I personally never wanted to "Crush" anyone. I've always been a proponent of a system that benefits everyone. Again the "Trainfest" you talk about in ToV started out with Taken trying to pull mobs to LTK zone out. Neither Rampage nor Forsaken were the first to do it even though I am sure both sides knew how to a lot better than what Taken was trying to do at the time (Not a knock on them just they hadn't spent as much time in there).
When I have been around Europa in the raid scene (rarely) We usually are cordial with each other and when we make a mistake we give you guys an opportunity at the mob. I know we did for sure on a Velketor. I can count on one hand probably the amount of times I have been at a raid and seen Europa there though so I am a bit confused.

I am not really having a dig at you in person, but when I talk about "crushing the opposition" and "forcing the small guilds to merge" and "I am going to go after your members" that's direct quotes from conversations with Forsaken leadership - and lately there have been quite a few interactions, both for Europa and for other smaller guilds, with Forsaken in raid environments, and they have not been pretty.
I am not really interested in who started trainfesting and cothing, I am interested in stopping it, and interested in it at least only happening on the raid where everyone apparently wants to play that way, and not let it trickle down to the more casual guilds who can't, and won't, subscribe to that culture.
With one of the top guilds leaving, this could be a perfect time to get together and talk about how to make the raid environment better, and more about allowing space and respect for each other - or we could let it turn into another scenario with only one guild/raidforce totally dominating content.

What I bolded describes Rampage. I am not talking about their average day to day players. I am talking about their leadership in general. I was in a skype call with Sirken, Derubel, Unbrella and Hokushin once. Hokushin literally yelled at us "I will fraps everything and petition your guild to death". True story. They were still IB at the time and this guy became Rampages' Guild Leader.
I once heard Unbrella raged so hard in a meeting between you guys and the gms that he actually got an IB suspension reversed before it was even handed down. True story.
But yeah petitionquest. It's what IB/Rampage does best when they lose. They call foul and petition everything.
So when your competition is doing sketchy stuff regularly youre supposed to not petition anything and let them keep doing it huh? Great idea. I guess TMO and forsaken never petition anything right? Thats the way you're making it sound. Any disparity in the amount of petitions between FA and Rampage was just because we would actually concede things when we knew we messed up, meanwhile every conversation with Detoxx over a dispute is like talking to a 13 year old CoD player.
Finally he comes back and says "It was suspended for Autofire where is ****(player name removed)" The person in question wasn't around. He then a few minutes later and clearly angry says "Thanks whoever got my Wizard banned for using it". We try to have a rational discussion about it all of us perplexed. What could possibly be autofired ? Everything was a CotH race. You aren't sitting on spawns why would anyone use it ? We assumed someone used his Wizard on something like Charisa or Ragefire.
It was on statue, and it was based on a fraps he recorded and uploaded to youtube himself. So your/his stance is that someone else logged on his char, fraps'd themselves on it using his same ui, and uploaded it to his youtube account?
lol'd
Glad to know our competition immediately came to a conclusion that it was some sort of script being used. Goes to show it's probably something they were using. We had no clue something like that existed while we were discussing it in TS.
Just ask nalken, I'm sure he can tell you all about how it works since hes most likely where Detoxx got it.
Give us a break. TR RMT'd off P99 saying the exact same thing once they got their asses kicked in VP. It's just another sorry ass excuse since they got beat.
Rampage is such a pleasant acquaintance that they just shit on every single P99 player by waking the sleeper up and now leaving in a mass RMT wave.
So you're under the impression that a few bad weeks of raiding crumbled our guild and ran us/Hoku off the server after he spent all that time helping rebuild IB from nothing/putting together Rampage/demoralizing TMO to the point that they collapsed and migrated to red the moment Zeelot winked at them?
Also lol at the same retarded "mass RMT" comment. GMs are watching Rampage accounts closely right now, 0 confirmed cases of RMT so far last I heard.
Where'd your boy nixxar go though? Heard people were being told to change their passwords if they ever let him use their accounts.
With one of the top guilds leaving, this could be a perfect time to get together and talk about how to make the raid environment better, and more about allowing space and respect for each other - or we could let it turn into another scenario with only one guild/raidforce totally dominating content.
You must not have seen Rampage's guild site's current front page news if you think theres any hope of reasoning with Detoxx or to have any kind of respectful conversation with him in regards to any kind of raid content he wants to kill.
You guys gotta stop taking Dottedup so serious.
How can you not take him serious when he makes such scary and threatening speeches if you make him mad?
http://i.imgur.com/FXWftgD.png
So assuming FA does get free farm on Velious, how long you think itll be before Forsaken decides Asgard has served its purpose and kicks them to the curb to shorten forsaken's line at the pixel factory? Those guys in Asgard better hope Detoxx values his friendship with Pint more than he values pixels.
He goes way overboard and we tend to laugh about it a lot ourselves. I hope the server gets a good laugh out of it too.
That's the thing. You think it's a joke, the rest of the server doesn't. So as Culkasi said, if the way he acts is not how you want your guild to be seen, you need to get a new voice for your guild. Because people don't view you positively.

Typical Feign. Full of crap and in full spin mode. Should we post all the old fraps that you guys didn't get suspended for ? We can but out of respect for the "Process" no one does. It would boggle the mind of the average players how your guild avoided suspensions in comparison to the things we got suspended for.
Accuse me of spin meanwhile literally your entire post history is nothing but Forsaken cheerleading and anti-rampage forumquesting.
Also it always gives me a hearty laugh when you guys threaten to post things/talk about these massive hordes of evidence you have and then nobody ever sees a single shred of it. Detoxx must have brought over the TMO forumquest handbook when he started Forsaken.

What the server sees very clearly Feign...
When the rules were changed away from the ability to use auto-fire your guild faltered.
When your guild had to actually compete fairly. They lost.
When your guild lost. It crumbled.
When it crumbled your leadership is running away. Grats ?
Baseless allegations of Ramp autofiring.
Video proof and subsequent ban of Forsaken autofiring.

You guys' whole stance that turning ToV into a CoTH race improving your kill rate proves auto-fire use is beyond laughable. The way coth racing works you might as well meet eachother in ToV and flip a coin everytime a mob spawns to see who gets to kill it.

You're a smart guy.
There is nothing questionable at all about that video. The results after the ability to stand on spawns speaks for itself in regards to the "advantage" Rampage seemed to have. They aren't baseless. Kluwen showed you the video. Hokushin auto cleared his clicky into a mob and instead of FD'ing "Threw a jav oops". That was a questionable fraps. The guy wasn't even at his computer and died to the Dragon because he wasn't around to FD or gate pot.

And standing on spawns was any different ? Are you this retarded ? All that standing on spawns comes down to is having the best ping and spamming buttons. It's a 50/50 proposition too...Yet strangely in that proposition the same few people kept getting FTE time and again. Probably because of one of these "scripts" you guys keep mentioning.

I guess I was just hallucinating all those times Hoku would speak on teamspeak and id hear his keyboard keys in the background getting slaughtered huh?
This whole narrative you've created in your head where coth racing saved you guys from the evil autofirers of Rampage is fucking hilarious. You realize Detoxx fought to keep ToV rules the way they were right? Him and Hoku agreed to some shit like 1 representative max at a spawn or something and Pint wouldn't agree to it so finally Sirken said fuck it, back to regular ruleset.

Everyone had fun on Sunday after the repop. No one stared at a wall for 16 hours straight to fizzle 1 CotH and be a second late to FTE. It was cool.
