Modern day P99 is really depressing

[Tunabros]

P99 is at it's lowest point right now and you know it.

[starkind]

Ya. It is. On the bright side! Tons of camps open on red99.

Lots of EQ memes2 be made.

A better guild name then <Riot> could come out of the ashes.

Nows a great time to reflect on what made EQ good and re-evaluate current rules! (Make KSing legal on green, and not blue) see how that goes. Great time to experiment with an alternative rules set.

Also plenty of opportunity to try out new hobbies or games like elden ring or animal crossing and share your experiences... do EQ themed designs in minecraft.

Try out server wide universal DKP...

Look at the blessings of today and the opportunities of now! Sometimes we forget how awesome it is to have water. Or a forum to post on. I'm always here if ya need something to ignore or read! Or yell at.

[Croco]

P99 is at it's lowest point right now and you know it.

When there's no oversight and very little consequences for cheating and rule breaking you end up with the server you see before you.

[starkind]

So a good reason to change rules sets to need less attention and focus on moderation of more important things like violent guild names.

[eisley]

Need to revert most of the changes. Unroot dragons. Revert recharge nerf. Go back to FTE races and lockouts. This promotes smaller guilds because of the smaller loot spread. Smaller guilds = more competition = more fun. Not to mention returning the fun of actual races.

Reverting all this garbage would disband Riot and Vanquish overnight, with the zerg meta gone. People would scramble to make smaller, more efficient guilds with playmakers and high effort raiders.

They don't need to do much work, just undo the damage they've done. But to do would be admitting their mistakes, which may be a bridge too far.

eh, what is so bad now? just a week or two ago i saw green wih over 1k players. maybe you should take a break.

Roll meta is the best meta. Competition doesn’t have to be about how many bodies you can log in, but rather how few you can beat the mechanics with.

Who is this goddamn genius.

Every time you participate you are rewarded for participating with getting to roll for items your character needs.

I don't know how to integrate some need before greed on this. I don't want to have to have a level 60 in every class category so I can roll on EVERY item that drops. At the same time I understand the guild wanting the max BIS guy to be on this max BIS toon for maximum contribution to the raid, but that guy needs to greed roll for his alt, otherwise why is he showing up?

Maybe you get to choose one character to be representing each raid, so if you're a 60 cleric but you're playing to gear your 56 SK you can't roll on cleric shit at all during that raid, but you can roll on all the SK stuff?

Sorry never been in a high end raiding guild that does this so I dunno how it works out?

I think its the only way to get rid of all the fake scammy stuff where some closed door session decides who gets what.

In most raiding guilds you can use your dkp on whatever drops you want. So if you have an alt, you can purchase the item for them. Just gotta run the alt there to loot it

[Allishia]

Roll meta is the best meta. Competition doesn’t have to be about how many bodies you can log in, but rather how few you can beat the mechanics with.

Lol that meta sounds awful, crappy like scout roll rofl...

The unrooted dragons / clickys and fte lock out meta is best imo. Can bring back small guilds like rustle and wouldn't need the zergs like eisley said /nod.

Rooting dragons 100% created the zerg. Nerfing clickys ruined any shot small guilds had with low number kills.

[Gustoo]

cd288 I thought Naethyn was saying that guilds should roll for drops instead of use a DKP system with corrupt loot council ETC.

Just standard /random 1000 with everyone present that is eligible for roll because of their class or whatever for a given item, right there on the spot in front of everyone.

Instead of collecting DKP you just get more chances to win by participating in more raids.

That may mean that some guild members may not be welcome at certain raids, but at least that way there isn't this kinda back room stuff going on and people constantly piling in at the bottom of a loot pyramid scheme. Just my thoughts.

[Croco]

Yeah I mean I’d definitely rather have random than a dkp system for sure

[starkind]

Dkp with caps on savings + random. If you miss too many raids you get to take a penalty to your random. Allow guilds to KS on raid targets.

Loots should be awarded to most prolific RnF posters.

Also. Micro guilds could deff start forming. Randoms give even more chances for pharm crews to step up their plat splits game and start marketing more top tier loot to the highest buyer.

I think it's fair to say that the server and raids were a lot of friendly fun when these were the parameters.

I remember that one guild, was it Rustlers or something like that? They made quite a name for themselves during this era. They were quite the talk of the town. People either wanted to be them or team up with them.

Yeah they’ve made it personal now so it’s less about fun and more about “I hate those people and want to deny them everything” which is pretty pathetic.

I don’t think rooted dragons are the source of zergs though. There were always overly large raiding forces. And many of those participants were lazy. With unrooted dragons the people doing the work were the pull team and then the tanks and clerics as usual. Didn’t really change anything

I propose a novel solution:

It's like daylight savings time but not pointless.

Also, dice rolls for the mega bosses - Vulak, Tunare, AoW, Tormax, Yelin, Dain (with optional /guildwar (or champion best of best) to dispute/gain mobs )

Everything else is FTE

This would spice things up a bit

Sorry for late reply!

I'm not a play maker, all I can do is tank dragons / soak dkp on alts if I can't get war there in time. So nothing I could have done would have helped. Numbers and tanks was not the issue in riot, play makers / shot callers are what they needed.

So ya I guess, you can call me a guild hopper. Because I just want to have fun in my limited play time. The only thing I really enjoy is tanking giants and dragons anyway...and it is a game right? :)

I would have told him to go fuck himself.

You were a great guildmate in Rustle and Aftermath. always playing the toon needed for the encounter and coming prepared. I lost count of how many classes you played as well anyone else.

When members of guilds start to talk shit about members who left, they pretty much lost any hope of getting them back or recruiting new ones of the same caliber.

in 2022, if i see someone with an SoD, i wonder to myself, "How much did you "donate" to the server, or "What duping tricks haven't been discovered, or even, allowed to continue.

all in all, you gotta ask yourself one question after you log off for the day:

"Did i enjoy the time i spent playing here"?

nothing else should matter

Truth is, there's nothing they can do to appease everyone. If they try to improve something, someone will get upset. All you can do is try to enjoy what you can control. Meet some cool peeps and make some fun memories and move on.

You’d be competing more efficiently without the first ‘enter’. Typing ‘/‘ opens the chat console. The ‘0’ also isn’t required. The client assumes ‘0’ for the min value if only one number is provided for random.

Need to revert most of the changes. Unroot dragons. Revert recharge nerf. Go back to FTE races and lockouts. This promotes smaller guilds because of the smaller loot spread. Smaller guilds = more competition = more fun. Not to mention returning the fun of actual races.

Reverting all this garbage would disband Riot and Vanquish overnight, with the zerg meta gone. People would scramble to make smaller, more efficient guilds with playmakers and high effort raiders.

They don't need to do much work, just undo the damage they've done. But to do would be admitting their mistakes, which may be a bridge too far.

Plenty of dumb posts in rnf on the topic of raid rules and zergs but this might the dumbest most out of touch post I've ever read that wasn't blatant trolling lol

I have actually been able to affect the outcome of the games rolls without using technology or cheating. Through just universal oneness kind of thing. You can't do it intentionally and on the spot so easily. The way you would think. It's possible tho to achieve a state where the rolls will magically happen. Intention and desire doesn't work so much as reaching a calm state and opening up to the possibility and picturing that possibility with just the right playfulness and a sort anticipation. It's hard to explain. The focus loses shift from winning and the game then became very different. I stopped playing it like I used to. And inadvertent fun, surprise, happenstance, synchronicities all opened up as possibilities including my interactions with other players.

The magic went much deeper than the rolls and code and hardware then.

[Zephys]

People are getting bored and even pettier; it'd be fun to see some things get mixed up.

I'd rather see a no rules, wild-west raid scene than whatever it is that's going on that would require a U.N. Style discord, guilds getting routinely raid banned, and all the other wild stuff that I definitely don't recall hearing about back on live. Admittedly though, I've never done a lot of high end raiding, here or on live. Just seems soulless and horrible from my seat; to the point where I don't even want to try for my epics.

Regardless, alternate rules should be considered and put into play, not just for raids, but for basically any disputed rules. Maybe convert one of the existing servers to a 'test' server, or have whatever's planned for after green be such a server. Crazy proposition A isn't working out? Great, time to test crazy proposition B for a couple months. There'd be space to play with some more out-there ideas as well.

Randomizing what hot loot drops from what hot camps could be a fun thing; so would team PVP.

I would do all legacy items permanently no nerf and td binds for eternity.

Would be a fun server at all lvls.
