everytime i read a comment from active TMO people in this thread, it reminds me of how frustrating and stupid it was to be on top of the server. Cockblocking people to feel better about yourself. I did it all a year ago, and now that I have some distance to it all I can see what a sad thing it truely is.
What you (and by "you" i mean the people on this server that are not in TMO) need to realize is the mentality of these people. They feel they "deserve" every dragon and raid mob in the game, because they PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT. Therefore, if you can not compete with 24 hour per day tracking, and being able to mobilize 40 people within 15 minutes, YOU CAN GO F*** urself. You dont deserve ANYTHING. If it was up to them, they would still be cockblocking every single raid mob in the game because they CAN.
You dont deserve it. Thats the bottom line.
Now I moved to AK. I didnt rejoin TR because tbh I didnt like my time there very much. It didnt remind me at all of how classic everquest used to be. There was always competition, but it was NEVER like it is here. On P99 theres a unique metagame, that is only reinforced by the horribly retarded forum community. Thank god some people started cleaning up a bit. I hope it is not too late.
The earliest I saw people starting to cockblock to slow down others progression was after PoP launch, because you NEEDED to keep the other guilds out of the EPs so you could progress on to the Plane of Time, through flagging - It was a flagging bottleneck so you needed to slow the progression of other guilds or they would catch up
. Anhow, TR fits in perfectly in the new server, they get along with everyone - Despite some TMO forum trolls going on a riot on the AK forums to try and get IB/TR kicked from the server, they raid there, silently, without any drama, sharing the content with numerous other guilds. Even Lron has given them a break.
Back to topic: IMO just dont compete with TMO. By the time you beat them you will hate yourself for what you have become, it is simply not worth it. Let them have their little E-Win, they all sacrifice so much for it. And most of all donīt let them troll you by believing that you dont deserve "their targets". I am sure theres plenty of old school TMO around that would agree that what they used to be was way more important and fun than what they are now.
If youre casual and want to see some content, get a mac mini and join us here on Al Kabor. It is truly a classic Everquest Community with awesome content and 2 guilds that are dedicated to do real progression. TR and vintage are both still progression locked at velious, AND theres also Luclin and PoP for all those who didnt actually hate it. Both of the expansions had a lot to offer, and you will be able to play the game you like without classic nazis telling you how you should and shouldnt play this game
