Prove it?
And you looked through Afterlife's archives please show me this too because I raided with Afterlife. Again prove it. Your word is shit here Tassle. As I said, this is your thread, you have the burden of proof.
Mith Marr was a cutthroat server. Anyone from Mith Marr that plays on P99 can attest to that. Why do you think Cats and Hats left the server? Now dont get me wrong. Afterlife did some stuff to make the community happy. Open Hate/Fear raids for free loots. But when it came to contested mobs it was get the hell out the way or get ran over. Aka VP training.

My character back in EverQuest was Terok Kneebiter (of the Ak'Anon Kneebiters), and I was one of the founders/officers/raid leaders/whatever during the Kunark and Velious era. I talked to a couple of my old raiding buddies, and to be honest nobody could remember any instances of any actual training. Most of the headbutting involved the free-for-all nature of raids back then, as the "rules" were very much first come, first serve. This lead to a lot of racing on server resets, the worst part of which was a lot of ambiguity about when one could be declared as having "won" the race. When both guilds showed up for the same boss with 30+ people at the same time, it was difficult to really figure out who had the rightful shot at it. Afterlife also had a tendency to want to go out of their way to try and stop us from catching up with them, so they would often race over to "entry level" stuff first, knowing that we couldn't really raid the harder bosses. We would often have to trick them by logging all of our characters near one boss, waiting for them to notice and race over, and then rapidly teleporting away towards our actual raid location.
One of the biggest "incidents" with us and Afterlife was one where Cats in Hats somehow had amassed a raid in Sebilis before AL, and in fact we had already cleared to Trakanon's room and were preparing to engage. Well apparently Afterlife had
their entire raid waiting right outside the zone (40-50+ people back then), and they sent a "spy" down to feign death near our group, a female human monk named Delnatha if memory serves. When my guild engaged the raid boss, I guess their spy told the guild, as they zoned in their massive group all at the exact same second, which at least back then was guaranteed to crash the zone. When the zone came back up, everyone was transported to the zone-in, and then the server GMs were called in to "mediate" the dispute. Somehow they awarded the zone to Afterlife in a travesty of justice the likes of which the world had never seen, and if my timeline is correct, we decided to take the opportunity to transfer away pretty shortly after that. That incident in particular was certainly a big factor in our decision.
We went on to thrive on Drinal without the stifling influence of another uberguild either stepping on our hands as we pulled ourselves up, or grabbing our ankles and somehow pulling us down even when we did manage to beat them. So as much as we didn't get along, and I think Afterlife was going out of their way to hurt us as often as they could, there wasn't any training that I can remember. Certainly not in Veeshan's Peak.
