Kergan.. I feel like you're a smart enough man to understand but you're in this "Nihilum" state of mind currently. What I am asking for is for the better of the server. I know there are members in Nihilum that don't like waking up at 5AM Eastern, or hell 2am if you're pacific.
What I am asking for, is the next repop be more around normal times for the normal human being. That is all, we have had a fair share of 4AM repops and I think it is time for a change no? I enjoy pvp more than your average player, win or lose count me in. I enjoy being the underdog and earning what I worked for. I don't like handouts and thats why I am not in Nihilum.
Let's just test out a normal repop time, no one is asking for handouts. I want competition and I want to pvp for dragons. Under the circumstances that we currently have, that is impossible. Thanks for listening to me Rogean and hopefully we see change [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
I HATE 4 and 5 AM repops. My raid attendance has plummeted nearly to guildremove level since it started. But clearly Nihilum is able to handle it as a guild. Altering a repop schedule that happened naturally simply so another guild can contest isn't sporting in my opinion. It's easy to say you want competition when you can't compete, but even getting to the point you can contest takes time and effort.
There is a reason blue has 10x the population as red. I've convinced a huge percentage of people on R99 are there because of the exp bonus and nothing else. They think they'll be able to avoid PVP somehow. When it becomes difficult they quit or join the easy path. There will always be an easier path, and because the majority will flow in that direction it will never change. Even if you split Nihilum in two and pitted those guilds against each other, one would become victorious in fairly short order and you'd end up in the same situation. As long as one guild is capable of clearing all top tier raid content on the same day it respawns this situation will not change.
Velious is really the only hope to build a second guild. None of what we're talking about in this thread or anywhere else - variance, PNP, repop times, random simulated server resets, etc will make a dent in what you are defining as the problem. Until there is more stuff to do then one guild can accomplish.
All that being said, I don't see the harm in doing the simulated server restarts during prime time only. Changing the entire repop schedule is way too much, but throwing a few spawns out there to see what happens wouldn't be a bad idea.
