Ya. It is. On the bright side! Tons of camps open on red99.

Lots of EQ memes2 be made.

A better guild name then <Riot> could come out of the ashes.

Nows a great time to reflect on what made EQ good and re-evaluate current rules! (Make KSing legal on green, and not blue) see how that goes. Great time to experiment with an alternative rules set.

Also plenty of opportunity to try out new hobbies or games like elden ring or animal crossing and share your experiences... do EQ themed designs in minecraft.

Try out server wide universal DKP...

Look at the blessings of today and the opportunities of now! Sometimes we forget how awesome it is to have water. Or a forum to post on. I'm always here if ya need something to ignore or read! Or yell at.

When there's no oversight and very little consequences for cheating and rule breaking you end up with the server you see before you.

So a good reason to change rules sets to need less attention and focus on moderation of more important things like violent guild names.

Need to revert most of the changes. Unroot dragons. Revert recharge nerf. Go back to FTE races and lockouts. This promotes smaller guilds because of the smaller loot spread. Smaller guilds = more competition = more fun. Not to mention returning the fun of actual races.

Reverting all this garbage would disband Riot and Vanquish overnight, with the zerg meta gone. People would scramble to make smaller, more efficient guilds with playmakers and high effort raiders.

They don't need to do much work, just undo the damage they've done. But to do would be admitting their mistakes, which may be a bridge too far.

I think it's fair to say that the server and raids were a lot of friendly fun when these were the parameters.

I remember that one guild, was it Rustlers or something like that? They made quite a name for themselves during this era. They were quite the talk of the town. People either wanted to be them or team up with them.

Plenty of dumb posts in rnf on the topic of raid rules and zergs but this might the dumbest most out of touch post I've ever read that wasn't blatant trolling lol

I dunno, I'm having fun still. Unroot dragons sometimes would be a nice change though to mix it up /nod
