[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Dear Finalgrunt

I'm an old time player, and I'm assuming you are too. You can go look at old FoH forums and Quellious forums, if you can find them, and yup, there I am, Sadre the enchanter.

I just wanted to say, your post made me sad. I'm not even gonna go into eq-speak and start using technical language like "spawn windows," /random, "lock out," duels, or anything else that *could* be used to make things more lively and so much less -- sigh, how to put it? -- predictably how every mmo game dies and becomes boring as fuck.

But your post made me sad. Because these sorts of negotiations *do* go on, just not in p99 apparently. Guild alliances, gang-ups in order to overthrow top guilds, ll kinds of things happened in live.

But not here, not now, and not in the foreseeable mudflated future..

Yours is such a modest request.

And it is sad, isn;t it? Classic eq is about as close as we have ever gotten to a sandbox online game, imho. The possibilities of competition are really up to us.


And all our geniuses can come up with is the usual batphone, spam keys until spawn, FTE wins.

Classic often *avoided* this outcome. On my server, quellious, people got bored and broke top guilds up, rather than live like this. And that was when expansions came faster!

Anyway, Divinity just got a thumbs up from me, if it matters. But I hope you don;t get what you want. Because it still sucks. A zerg guild with batphones and loot council is basically the worst guild structure eq produced. I will argue that IN THE ARENA FUCKER. lol. Couldn;t resist. old Sadre got out.

But that worst possible guild structure and method owns p99. Until someone realizes, there are ways to play in a persistent world that does not involve making the order of things persistent. We can change the world.

Everyone now, grab your juiceboxes and sing with me, "We can CHAA_AAAANGE the WOOOO OOOOOOOORLD.
