raiding history continued - request for info

[TomisFeline]

Hi all,

I am an amateur appreciator of the raiding scene history on p99. there was that excellent summary that went around for awhile covering the whole history up until the Aftermath / Awakened -> Tempest era iirc. I am sure plenty of you have read it - can't recall if it was on the wiki or just a thread.

I was last playing when Riot rose to power with some massive zerg and aftermath seemed to dissolve in to summer grilling obligations.

my question for you, wise rnf council, and my request for information, is as follows:

would anyone have, or be able to provide, a similarly academic overview of what has happened on the blue raiding scene since Riot was at it's apex?

I'd venture a guess that it's the same shit, but a different day.

[Worry]

IB, Rampage, BDA were all far more interesting than A/A imo.

BDA were good for the memes and the ragequit when they didn't get ringfenced "casual" pixels on day 1 of Velious.

That's their legacy, along with trying to zerg every target and recruit half the server :o

What about «*The Mystical Order*»

I saw this and vaguely remembered typing up a condensed history on the raid scene at Velious launch through a little after the sleeper being woken up. I found the original thread which also has some decent info about pre-Velious sprinkled in there. My post is on page 2.

IB was top tier, quit then a zerg guild was formed TMO, velious launched, IB came back stomped all the zerg guilds, TMO disbanded, Aftermath/AA era now Vanquish/Riot era

[tankh]

I think best guild ever was FBI , followed by the A-Team

Half the details are just lies made by salty casuals

Honestly the wiki is bad and full of errors .the most hillarious one is claiming tmo compited with rampage at velious start.
TMO died on kunark . i was the last remainin player from the pre merger with dark ascension still playing being Atmas aka optmeter the closest one still remainin(he joined later post merger but still was active )and ofc my beloved portsche.

Fun fact tmo still remainin guild bank was split btw old timers before velious .
Detoxx formed and competed with rampage under aftermath tagg.
the 4 edition of tmo lasted 2 weeks after the break up with most of the old timer retiring and quitin or on my case going rampage because people could not stand the mouth breather.

I checked out that wiki as well and it has a lot of problems. TMO dissolved and Forsaken was formed like 6 months before Velious. TMO appears as an entity in that wiki for like a year after it was completely gone.

Also Rampage and Aftermath never existed at the same time. Forsaken went into Velious as a solo guild against Rampage. Then Forsaken and Asgard aligned to compete but didn't merge into AM for a long time. Taken joined in and then quickly jumped ship to align with Rampage. F+A eventually snuck into Sleeper's and killed some warders with a small crew, got a gharns off vulak, and then Rampage immediately woke the sleeper and peaced out. Taken and a few remaining Rampage formed Awakened, and then a few months later Forsaken and Asgard merged into Aftermath. Aftermath and Awakened competed for like 2-3 years before Awakened broke up and started Tempest (and maybe one other version between that) and then eventually turned into Riot. Aftermath died after a bunch of rule and mechanic changes. Former AM went through a bunch of iterations (Ghost,Freedom, etc.) as well before Vanquish came about.

Chest getting suspended day 1 velious was one of the best days on server, change my mind.

thanks legday. your post was superb. that's exactly what I am looking for. if anyone can pick up where he left off with that same quality that would be exactly what this post was originally intended for.

IB was never Top Tier. They were just the first. They got beat pretty soundly by TMO.

[Delekhan]

Why don't you research and post Green's history? Blue's is already done.

If only there was a way for posters like you to make it better ...

[Solist]

Say what? By that logic, noone but Vanquish is top tier, they all just got there first. IB had 43 VP keys before (TMO+A=TMO) had one.
30ish VP keys quit the server before VP even opened...... Maybe 5 came back for opening day.

TMO grew into something huge, but it did so with zero competition when IB left for EQmac. When IB returned from EQmac, Rampage formed. History repeat. But it's all meaningless history..

Riot or Vanquish of 2021 would dominate either of those guilds effortlessly. Even giving the old guillds old clickies, either of the current two would have their match.

Its the same people recycled, with a few casuals that decided to move up out of "casual" guilds.
