I don't claim to be a badass unlike some forum warriors here, I fully admit I'm a life long blewbie bluebie however you spell it that wanted to try it out. There has been plenty of times, including Sunday, when I felt as though it wasn't worth the bullshit.
I did regret leaving Nihilum at the time but to be honest I'm happy I did because the game is exciting now. Being in Nihilum was just EQ PVE all over again. I was really excited to go raid Nagafen for the first time in years only to be shocked when he was dead before I could even cast a spell and being looted. I wasn't feared? How come no one was dying from AE's? I was confused. I was then excited to go kill Phinny again, that was a real exciting balls to the wall encounter back in 1999, how are we going to handle all of those CHing seahorses guys??? 5 mintues later he's solo pulled and dead via pets, while we all sit there afk waiting to collect loots, (pets > * on p99 and since pet aggro is fucked you can't do any DPS @ all to mobs or else you'll peel the mob off the pets).
Suddenly, within two weeks, my dream of reliving EQ with maybe some cool PVP battles was dead, replaced by charmed sonic bats and pets while every1 afks waiting to type /random 0 100. (Need a math debate on whether 0 100 or 1 100 is better for winning lewts) Something was just missing, is this what I came back to do?
In short, I'm glad I left Nihilum because it's not a PVP guild, it's a PVE guild, and a boring one at that. Nihilum always tried to avoid PVP battles whenever possible. The great Nagafen strat when Holocaust wtfpwned Nihilum a week ago, was to either train Holocaust so they wipe, or simply log off and let Holocaust give up o Nagafen so we could log in after and collect our loot. That wasn't what I joined this server for, to just go /afk and collect loot and then post screenshots and call it "winning." Ya, there were a bunch of dicks in holocaust, but at least they had balls and came to actually PVP.
tl:dr: nihilum pve guild, server pvp, came to pvp not pve do not care anymore about nihilum
