The same shit will happen all over again. The people who care about killing dragons on a weekly basis will all join the guild, the so-called "PvPers" will cry foul about how these dragon slayers number far too many and are "ruining" the server by killing nagafen & vox, and everything will repeat itself.

The issue again is three-fold:

1) Not enough content to keep people online consistently outside of raids. Classic doesn't fix this issue long term, it just provides a quick short term fix as people race to max their characters again.

2) No PvP incentive in EQ to PvP over anything not PvE related.

3) For some reason I still can't comprehend, unlike every other game and even EQ Live where contesting for targets is a source of pride and fun, contesting on red99 for raid mobs is considered "blue" and "bad." As long as the chest thumpers continue to pretend that fighting for raid mobs is pointless, there will never be meaningful consistent pvp.
Contesting is great. Everyone agrees contesting is great, except zerg raiders. The problem is that it isn't happening anymore, and can't happen in velious with our small population.

You've yet to offer a single suggestion beyond leaving shit the way it is or childishly demanding that the devs create more PvE content for you. I've offered ways to fix shit which require next to nothing of the devs and would bring this server back to classic where it should be.

I'm not the only one offering ideas, and several people have come up with similar alternatives. The only things you've done are push the status quo and demand more free content.

And you think I'm the problem? Hah.
