Basically, I think there isn't a reason for it anymore. FTE shouts take the work out of having to GM poopsocking events. Anyway, proof is always better than what someone recollects or says they remember. I don't even trust myself to be correct and would love to see some proof. |

IMHO, you can't have both:
-plenty of raid content for everyone AND -classic EQ These two are mutually exclusive. This is how it was from day one till instancing was born. Because classic EQ raids are mechanically simplistic, the most fun was achieved by getting to the target at all, rather than "beating the encounter". When raids finally evolved, and instancing appeared, everyone happily forgot about the "getting there first" and concentrated on "killing it". Since this is a classic server - there will NEVER be enough content for everyone. Not even for a quarter of everyone. Accept it. Move on. |
If we had like 1 server repop a month, and VP training was removed...shit would be a lot better.

VP training will be removed when pathing is patched.
That's on the list of the devs, alongside with Velious. Don't swet it and wait patiently :) |

There shouldn't be a variance, and it should be a poopsock fest like Noble. Which will eventually turn into some sort of agreement between guilds to make things different. With a poopsock, all guilds would have equal chances. We can't have that now do we? The way things are allow for reduced competition in the end, but claiming it's classic is just being in denial. It's easier to motivate your guild to log for an encounter when you know the spawning time, and actually have a chance at it, than burning out members for tracking for days with a slim chance to get it if bigger rosters can do the same and have twice your raid force logged under 30 seconds, because of multi account plague. |

Values, he states, "are a certain kind of fact. They are facts about the well being of conscious creatures." We do not think that rocks can suffer, thus we do not value the well being of rocks. This idea extends to everything we value, as per what we understand in biological complexity as per how much suffering can become impact. The conditions of well being holds facts, Sam states. We can move through a continuum of the worst possible suffering of conscious life, up and through to lesser suffering. To move to a more idyllic series of situations. We know, he says, that there are right and wrong answers to this space. If we're discussing human well being (thus the human brain and how we realize and experience suffering or idyllic feeling), then to hold the power to withhold idyllic situation from other conscious beings, while keeping them all to yourself, you are, intrinsically and by definition, being immoral. I would find this hard to dissuade myself from, given the sheer amount of logical discourse Sam presents. Is this entire concept up for differences of opinion? Sure, but I'm still waiting for any single person to get deep enough into this ethical construct to dissuade me yet that there are not concrete rules for human morality. I strongly recommend his book, The Moral Landscape if these ideas interest you. Anyway from the debate onward: I like a more random respawn rate. I also don't actually mind the idea of different versions of given raid mobs. Think about a Trakenon who can do everything he does, but now he can also aoe mez or stun. There might be no way to know which "version" of the given raid mob might spawn. No way to be completely prepared for the encounter. Maybe this version needs you to have two junk buffs in your first buff slots, but perhaps this other one requires MR where others didn't. I love the classic experience and I understand completely the desire to keep the server as classic as possible. I'm not in interest to change that, but if it helps keep a portion of the game more entertaining and fair for the general populace, then I think it a valuable consideration. |

The idea that if you do not work, you've created your own death bed is in itself, intrinsically immoral. These are archaic theistic views that hold no credence in an intellectually capable modern world. We are so wholly filled with this idea of how hard we work that for many people, who they are becomes almost directly correlated to their job. I work hard in all of the things I do, this includes in my employment. I will NEVER be my employment. I am a martial artist. I am a musician. I am a poet. I am a writer (my degree is in English). I am a student. I am a gamer. I am a thinker. I am a science enthusiast. I am many things. None of those things are my employment. The answer to your question is "no". It's no because you asked if he has a god given right to it. Gods don't exist. Plus, this kind of conversation, while very interesting, is completely derailing the topic. |
