2 hr/1 mob rule is just a rotation between fe/ib and tmo. It's a good start, and works well while tmo is raid suspended, but its going to be those two groups trading mobs once tmo is back and everyone knows it.

alarti's proposal is good. if fe/ib would agree to it, it means you can still have competition, but lets the 'casual scum' (you guys crack me up) compete with other 'casual scum' and have lots of fun while doing it.

I think you guys all need to come to some sort of agreement on your own, but from where I'm sitting, this is a reasonable concession that looks good on paper and would probably look good in practice.

I'd like to suggest that the draco/sev/tal/etc mobs that get left up are the FIRST spawns of the month so that there is no confusion or silly counting. When the clock ticks over to 12:00 AM est on the first of the month, those next spawns are left up for 24 hours for the "casual" guilds. If they are still up 24 hours after pop they become open to anyone. If a guild kills 2nd spawn onward in the month then they remove themselves from the casual pool. So if guild X kills Trak, or Inny, or what ever later in the month then they are not eligible for the first spawn of the next month being left up for at least 24 hours for the casuals.

VS/Trak/CT/VP remain competitive.

Rotations..by and large, will make the high end just as stale as having alts camped out and killing stuff in 20 seconds.

What we really need is like a VERSUS system on like CT. Having more than 2 guilds in fear is just not feasible really.

1st. TMO VS FE/IB
2nd Taken VS TMO
3rd FE VS Taken
4th open
5th A-team VS TMO
6th Taken VS FE

like a basketball schedule or something, If you kill x open world dragons you get put on the sched.

Its competitive, but structured.

Having more than 2 guilds in Fear is fun. What I noticed when BDA comes in or Taken etc... is they don't pay attention or communicate well. You would have 8 DT's before you camped out. At most there should be 2.

Don't kill CT encounter ! Its too much fun

It will work very easily. Rotate between you, fe/ib, and all the other guilds on the server.. 33% of kills is still very reasonable, considering you don't need anything from any of the mobs on your mains anyways... Wasn't there a saying in classic... Need before greed??

Maybe some people here (Alarti) need to go back to fundamentals of pre-k and kindergarten where you learned to share.

I know this versus thing is a kernel of a good idea. I just haven't fleshed it out yet. It's not a rotation, but its not a shit fest we have. CT is just what I am fixated on right now...that raid is the pits when DT cycles are constantly going.

Sounds like marxism!

EQ is a capitalistic game.

At any rate, I think it'd be really cool if at least a few Naggy and Voxs could be left up for server-wide open raid fusterclucks.

Hmm as an addition to my idea, the casual mobs must be killed within 12 hrs of spawn or they are open. No delaying of spawntimers etc.

IMO the primary problem is still variance <shrug>

Sirken why can't you guys agree to just run that repop script that rogean did once every week or two?

You know that on repops a) casual scum get a lot of mobs and b) douchebaggery is hugely reduced and c) there is no need for elaborate agreements?

Why is this not on the table?

"remaining competitive" is the problem. you don't even realize what is going on. IT IS NOT COMPETITIVE. you guys don't even know what that means anymore.

tracking for 4 days, bat-phoning at 4am, logging in fully buffed characters at the mob spawn point, and then trying to dick over the other guild by using shady ass FTE tactics, then to run logs, have camera crews working fraps angles, and to pretty much post a giant ass petition AND / OR RNF thread about the encounter as standard procedures.

=not competing, but rather being psychotic, and about pixels

You have never been competitive other than when you won a darwin award. Don't speak about what you don't know.

1 or 2 naggys a month.


1 vox imo due to the fact that server-wide raids have never really won with her. Last TMO suspension she was up for awhile. We do want to keep the spawn timers going.
