Im very casual bitchy..heh /sarcasm - I didn't post it in my prior post but I would definitly fall into a Min/Maxer category so this probably wont apply to you if your not Jify. We only value something thats worth something to our character kinda like apple stock stock irl. If apple blew up 2morrow and shares went to 0.1 without hopes of a comeback it would be worth the same as a manastone to me prior and post kunark.

Not if they care about having bragging rights as being the #1 guild on server. I suppose I could be wrong I dont know the mentality of the high end guilds here. If I was running IV here though the minute SKY came out we would be there until we had established us as the #1 guild on server. In turn giving us the rights to anyone who wants to be recruited into the clear #1 raid guild of the server. Also in turn fucking up guild morale of any other guild on server that has seen its first taste of "Oh shit we cant kill something they can" feeling. If you are not familiar with sky shit, you cant just clear it and come back the next day to pick up where you left off. (Read make sure levitate and Spell:Summon Corpse dosent work when Sky is released if you want to slow progression way the fuck down)

This was half joking, yes. I am serious about this being a waste very few players used this zone even when it was brand spanking new and shiny in live. The reason this zone was even introduced was because at the time a very small amount of live population was doing the planes. I know this is classic but if classic Joe knows how to do plane of hate/fear hes going to do it. Its not hard anymore like it used to be. The only players who will use the zone for non key items (Temp Staff) will be solo'ish non guilded non raiders which lets be serious your on a server with 200ish players on most nights and you have what 3 guilds doing planes already? The fire giant toes were a joke however.

Originally posted by Jify No instancing in EQ1. There is triggered mobs, but they still have trigger mobs that spawn. I agree this is the type of expansion that you keep around for a long time, but seriously? Release it soon? Come on... lol.

We meant the same thing just worded it differently you can do 4 Druid epics in a row if they have the trigger items ready. As far as Kunark, how many ways can you rotate the gods from 2 planes and 2 dragons in classic between 4 guilds? Its a shitty cycle of players quitting because they have every peice of plane armor and are only logging in to hope that the off chance an item from a god drops they need. Versus guilds trying to get their foot in the door. You cant split planes between 4 guilds and expect ANYONE to enjoy it casual or raider and this scenario is approaching soon. 4 Guilds cant be in all the raid zones at once when Kunark is open which leads to alot more fun and smarter decision making from guild leadership on targets.
