Problem with a third "raiding" guild, is that the server can't support it. Right now, even after the big push by Nihilum to get all the vets back, we're barely hitting 50, and a good number of that 50 are euros and people who can only play for a couple of hours "primetime" before needing to dip. That number is BARELY workable for Velious PvE on a blue server, let alone a red server where you need to defend the mobs, etc.
Factor in the constant turn over from burn out / defections, and you can see why it's almost impossible for a third guild to thrive.
However, if your goals are to be a smaller guild that snipes some targets, it can work with far fewer numbers, but keep in mind you'll be constantly losing people to Az and Nilly as people will jump ship for the easiest pixel express, particularly when those velious pixels start getting linked in OOC. Blue has 10x the pop and can only support a couple of true Class A or w/e the fuck they're called raiding guilds, so it's 10x worse on red.

Good sum up. My hope is that the numbers keep climbing up. Im leveling an alt and i see alot of new players who im grouping with, starting out on the server. I think the pre-velious buzz will be a great time for a group effort in passing the word on other gaming forums about red99. The more the population grows, the more its an incentive for new people to say hey this looks fun ill try it.
I think its healthy for everyone for the server to grow like this and ill be going out of my way to help the new people on the server settle in. I gave a 100p to someone after leveling with him in Kurns, ported him to BB and bound him near Lfay for that Mistmoore grouping and he was hyped about the server. Hope to see this snowball.
