Yeah, this is 100% correct. I think Velious offers a much better opportunity than classic or Kunark though for a smaller guild to see continuous gains, even if the reality is they are falling even further behind the top geared players.
The biggest mistake that a lot of the larger up and coming guilds that have failed here have made is trying to compete directly with a force that is larger, better equipped and is more active. The reality of the situation, as Colgate stated above, is that the limiting factor to this server is low population and that has always been the case. Empire is no bigger than most of the top tier guilds that were on EQ live servers. The difference is on those servers you had literally 5-10x the playerbase to draw from if not more.
Plus there is the fact that every time there has been a battle on R99 where more than 100 players are involved the entire zone turns into a laggy desyncing shithole that isn't fun for anyone. Even if by some stroke of amazing luck another rival guild of similar size to Empire happened along, the mass PVP would be so frustrating it would probably lead to more people quitting than joining in the fun.
