End-game raiding experience from either Everquest Live or other MMORPG. If you don't have this, you're going to have to learn it on the fly. It's a lot harder, but it's do-able. Ultimately if you learn quickly you will be ok but if you don't, we will leave you behind and mock you!
I had to lol hard at this, since when is EQ hard? I didn't want to troll on the guild forums, but lets get real here people. Unless you have a mental disorder it's pretty fucking hard to fail at raiding.The only thing everquest raiding requires is having the appropriate gear in the right slot. What a joke. Scratch out that entire sentence, take a large shit, flush it down the toilet, and edit in this line:
Legally sane or pictures of medication for mental illness. If you don't have this, you're going to have to pee on a girl in a video and send it to Karsten. It's a lot harder, but it's do-able. Ultimately if you are not learning disabled you will be ok! If you are, we will leave you behind and mock you!

why would we be mad? just pointing out how silly this thread is. especially with pet and melee damage broken, there are really only two options:
- some of these encounters are actually challenging, despite the claims to the contrary by people who still have huge problems with them or are going by their 10 year old recollections alone
- some people are somehow absolutely horrible at this game.
either way, our recruitment thread is extremely tongue in cheek, which I assumed you'd get since you seem to usually have a pretty good sense of humor.

There must be some level of skill involved, because a lot of people (some might say, Zuranthium) do not meet the threshold required to play the game well.

Not meant to piss anyone off with my above comments but lets be real this is more of a social game like facebook type of shit than some l33t skill game like LOMAC/ARMA series or anything of that nature. You would get mugged and raped in pvp on those types of games compared to candyland here.

It wouldn't be difficult to decide once and for all if the actual encounters themselves are difficult. I brought this idea up a long time ago but here it is again.
1.) Put the test server back up and hold a tournament.
2.) Each guild wanting to participate agrees on 4 raid targets and number of people in raid for each target.
3.) GM spawns a raid target for each guild one at a time.
4.) Guild gets 1 chance to take out the target with the number of people agreed upon. Nobody in zone but which ever guild is up to bat and a GM frapsing the encounter.
5.) Rinse, repeat for each guild for each target.
So basically you can split this up over 4-5 days then at the end of the tournament all the videos get posted online for everyone to judge for themselves.
My theory is that the only thing making encounters difficult is the race involved and not having a suficient force available when you need it. In other words most guilds with a sufficient player base should be able to knock out any boss in the game currently when there aren't other guilds breathing down your neck and half your members are offline.
Last time I brought this up the idea was shot down by the top guild (honestly don't remember if it was DA or IB at the time). Can't really blame them because if this was allowed to take place and my theory was proven correct, then it would take away most of the bragging rights people now enjoy.

all players have same gear and you got a deal. any guild with better gear is more likely to complete an encounter.

reason for this, is for example doing trakanon with say, players lacking in poison resist is going to require more healers, or more dps. Obviously damage output and longevity is compromised if healers don't have manastone, or there's no mage online. These aren't factors of skill, but of preperation, your doing the same mindless button mashing in all encounters, I'm not bashing everquest raiding, just the brainpower involved.

Some folks would argue that the preparation is indicative of the skill; that EQ is more strategy and perseverance than pressing buttons. EQ is about planning and prioritizing on account of the harsh penalties for being unprepared, moreso than most video games.
And honestly, video games aren't hard, period. They are still a child's medium first and foremost, and MMO's in particular are designed to accomodate a wide range of ages, aptitudes, equipment, etc. They are as inclusive as herpes.
But yeah, the "skill" in EQ is in prioritization and endurance. not in the dexterity of one's fingers, which is kind of a poor measurement of skill anyway unless maybe you're like a professional clit-flicker or something, which would be pretty rad.

look at wow raids, they require quick thinking and changes you need to adapt to in order to complete most encounters, I have seen some very clever strategies to complete BC encounters. WoW is a shit game too, but their pve raids require brain juice to complete(well they did before u could get a mod for every raid that tells u what to do every single second).

Saying the prep is the skill doesn't make much sense. By that logic, the poop socking of raid targets for days and days at a time with a raid force was the pinnacle of skill. You know it will pop within a few days, so you prepare beforehand by sitting a raid force there for several days. Bam, you have prepared better than anyone else, you win the skill game!

Just the number of people involved in EQ raiding makes it more difficult. Ten people are a hell of a lot easier to coordinate than 30-40-50.
Seriously though, WoW raiding is just as easy as EQ, if not easier. I'd never contemplate doing an EQ raid black-out drunk, while at the same time I'd never consider playing WoW sober. That should be all the proof anyone needs.

Yep, that's endurance and dedication and also what passes for skill in a game that could be played by a quadriplegic. Frankly, those are still more meaningful traits or skills than rapid joy-stick manipulation or expert button-mashing, anyway.

People still fucked up and bad even after this wheelchair was put under them. I have never had so much rage in my life trying to raid with people who didn't understand how to run to the other side, or "don't fucking dps that guy yet".
I hate that game because of this. I cringe every time I see something WoW. If I could stab an ethereal concept such as a game I would.

Especially the fags from TR. You guys zerg down encounters because theres no limit to how many people you can take with you to slay the magical dragon. Thats some mad skill right there.
The only thing classic EQ raiding takes is mass amounts of people, geared warriors and no real life commitments. A lot of people here can't raid because they can't drop what they're doing at a moments notice to go kill the demigod your boxing druid just picked up on track. There are literally no mechanics to fights, just make sure you've got resist gear on for specific encounters and you're golden as long as your clerics don't fall asleep at the wheel.

Indeed. I started about 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that if I didn't have to work 12+ hours a day, be on-call and have to commute 60 miles a day, entertain a particular lady-friend once or twice a week, clean my own house and wash my own clothes over the weekend, among other things, I'd probably be up in my high 30's and more than likely in some sort of guild.
I'm 12th, with 15PP. Doesn't bother me, to be honest. I like living in a nice place with nice stuff, having a nice vehicle, with clean clothes and a fridge full of Jager. I don't give a shit about your level 60, full Hate gear, GEBs and 100,000 plat, levitating in the EC tunnel, preening for anyone that happens to run by for the 3-4 or so hours a day that I play. But if that is what makes ya happy, marvelous. Knock yourself out. (Speaking in general terms here, no one in particular). Been there done that and though I was Mr. Awesome in-game, the only people who ultimately gave a damn were people whom I didn't even know most of their real names and never saw again the moment I sold my account for $500.
Though, I have to chuckle at those who seem to think that their status in an MMO actually has any bearing on their status in reality. Then again, it's been that way since Day One of this genre. Tis the nature of the beast. Unfortunately those who do, normally wallow like pigs in slop in the admiration of those who feel as they do and well, in my experience, most of them are like you said, either basement dwellers at Mom and Dad's and/or jobless. Those tend to give the stay-at-home parents, or self-employed people a bad name and can get rather ...annoying at times, I will admit.
In response to Knuckle's rant, yeah. I tend to agree as well. Back in the day, I vaguely remember thinking it was somewhat difficult, but then again, I had nothing to compare it to then. I also remember being bored, reading books while glancing up at the screen every now and then, falling asleep at the keyboard, and a lot of hurry-up-and-wait. I remember being out at the club or out with friends and getting paged for a raid spawn (didn't have cell phones back then), hauling ass home after feeding my friends some bullshit non-dork excuse, to log in half-drunk, only to sit and wait for 4+ hours.
After that was DAoC. I wouldn't even call them raids. More like, bum rushes. It wasn't until the early days of Age of Conan in 2008 as a 80th level necromancer in a raiding guild doing 24-man T2 and T3's three times a week that I realized that, you know what?

Ektar, let's be real here...
The amount of "skill" involved in raiding in EQ is limited to time invested (tracking, staying online afk at a wizzy spire or OT hammerspot, actively grouping, etc), or gear/level and numbers.
It's true that one dumbass can wipe a raid force (premature pull or tank facing in a different direction / train, whatever) but EQ isn't exactly WoW where you're limited to a certain number of people and have to worry about movement, traps and OMGLAVA. No, you literally sit there and cast 1-2 spells or press a hotkey every time it comes up and make sure it's facing away from the raid. So long as you're not a complete tool you should be alright; learning the ropes in EQ takes 1 swing thru the encounter.

Legally sane or pictures of medication for mental illness. If you don't have this, you're going to have to pee on a girl in a video and send it to Karsten. It's a lot harder, but it's do-able. Ultimately if you are not learning disabled you will be ok! If you are, we will leave you behind and mock you!
u mad bro?

Since you so politely spoke right to me, I shall respond!
If we're talking what it takes to "beat" the game (we'll define this as kill the raid bosses), then yes, sure. But what I'm talking about is individual skill.
I would go so far as to say that in my day of stomping the lands of norrath, I was THE best paladin (luckily Karsten had quit at this time so I can make this claim~). I understood the mechanics, abilities, and potential roles of my class and was a motherfucker not to be matched.
If you bring people of this skill together, you can do more with less people. But I've reverted to a fantasy world which no longer exists! I sad now.

I agree with you, quality > quantity. Unfortunately, EQ wasn't exactly designed with that idea in mind. Chuck in a 4 day variance and you're taking a massive shit on that entire notion; but i guess that's a different battle.

One thing that I've noticed since playing here, is that everyone who played Old School Live always says they were the best when they played Old School Live. Just an observation. It's cool. I was so bad ass that Sony asked me to solo the Sleeper for beta testing.
"People of this skill" If you mean people who pay better attention, can follow orders, and can mash a 1-2-3-4 more efficiently, then sure. That is really all it is in raid settings.

Our average raid size last week when we got everything but nagafen was less than 30 people. The same lie repeated enough is still a lie. Whatever makes you feel better though.
I just wanted to quote this crap and give some insight on this. Our "AVERAGE raid" lol! I'd be pretty embarrassed if you brought 30+ to naggy, talendor (72 people), vox, inny (44 people) myself. You also bring much more than 30 for VS, Gore, Sev, CT and Trak. You guys bring massive amounts of people to raids these days man.

loving the super nerds calling other, probable lesser nerds, nerds. The nerds who cry and whine (but of course cover up their actual anger and frustration with smiley faces and lols - lol!!!) over other nerds getting pixels ahead of them are quite clearly the bigger nerds :) :) :)

This. I swear I've had the joy of listening to every single bozo and their late stepmother bragging about how they used to be the #1 insert_class_name_here on insert_server_name_here.

truth
the best part is when these people equate skill with play time. just look at the percentage of these people post in the 'server first' thread. like i said, all you can do is pity them really. these aren't middle school or high school students. these are adults.
You guys fail so hard to hide your jealousy behind your hate.

lolwut?
We kill gore with 30 while no other guild even got her close to 50% with WAY more people. Just shut up. Same goes for trak.
Either some encounter do infact need skill/knowledge or everyone else fails so hard at this game.

think you mixing TR up with ascension / tmo ...
last trak TR had 42 people, Asc / TMO 60+ (althou you wiped almost as quick as we killed trak)
last vox was 22 alts ...
the thing you are all wrong here in this thread is, EQ requires attention more then skill or anything, thats why most of you ADHS kids fail so hard at it ...

IMO they should edit the guild recruiting thread with a paragraph as follows:
