I like it mostly for the potential of skirmish PvP (not so much from you guys, but in the future when another potential guild is on the rise). I do honestly think most of you Azrael folks are kind of arguing for it the wrong way, though. It's always presented in a way that pertains to your guild's current interest in the game, or Nihilum's overwhelming numbers, which they really can't be blamed for, as much as people may want to.
I don't honestly think it will create more competition on any realistic level. Azrael will have a second-wind, certainly, but Nihilum will still get the same amount they get now. You'll just be interested in the game for a little longer until Lite and the people who look up to him lose a few times and become defeatist about server as a whole again. But at least you'll be online - and that's good, not really for the server, but definitely from my perspective as someone actively PvPing you. You guys may want to ask yourselves if you've got the will or the playtime to really see something like this through.
It only took three weeks this time for Lite to sit back and reflect and then rip his guild quite literally in half (back to what it was). That's pretty bad, dude.
The Azrael 19.0 jokes are widely known for a reason. You guys get these sugar rushes and then wane super quickly.
From a pure PvP standpoint, I like it. But you also gotta recognize that with simulated repops in Velious, Nihilum won't be able to control everything. I don't even think they'll want to. There will be potential for newer guilds to gear up with velious questing and kunark dragons. But if you want to face facts, unless something insane happens on this server, Nihilum will be pulling ahead by a large degree and variance will not matter very much. For the very near future, maybe it will help. Probably not, though. You guys have like 4 non US players. Nihilum has a full European crew.
I don't know. I don't care. Just beat it into the ground until it happens, I guess. Seems to work.
