A modest proposal: Limit guild sizes

[heartbrand]

It's funny because the way Smedy posts you'd think he was at all the huge PvP battles against Nihilum during classic in guk and sol b and lava storm and PoF, but yet for those of us who played here then, he wasn't at any of them.

its 2016 , lets challenge ourselves, shit is so boring when u kill it with 90 people

Can only speak for myself but im enjoying velious. I was 16 watching dragon ball z when it came out so didnt experience mych of it. Its eq so its not super complicated. Dont let tanks hp hit 0 get mobs hp to 0. But we still wipe when mobs gate or ch or w/e.

Aow is fun, 10th ring is fun, warders are fun.

Its a game enjoy it

On a low population server like this, it's entirely possible for one guild (<Empire>) to dominate the population and the high end kills. We have the same problem that Sullon Zek had--one team dominates.

I know I'll get flamed and trolled for the idea, but would limiting guild sizes do anything to increase competition? Would guilds then just cooperate? Or would having multiple leadership groups create imbalance, bad feelings, and eventually some interesting high end PvP?

I know PvP is broken in Everquest, if for no other reason that one person can cause a wipe on a carefully prepared raid. I also know that some classes are better at PvP than others, and equipment makes a lot of difference (as well as strategy). But the server might be better with more balanced guilds competing, and limiting guild size might be a step toward it.

the title alone makes me want to join empire.

Put in the work and you can overthrow.

In a nutshell...

Empire used to be called Holocaust. Holocaust was the megazerg of the time, recruiting literally anyone with a pulse and promising pixels. This drew in tons of people which started to choke out smaller guilds.
This was addressed, but since 200 out of a 300 pop server was promised pixels, they didn't care.
This killed the server. The end.

best way to play here is not to care. there will always be a ruling zerg. nilly 1.0 2.0 3.0 will always exist and rule. forget over-throwing unless you can find 50+ real life jobs for the warm bodies that are always present in the winning zerg. so even if you were to topple the current mega zerg either thru petition quest or grief, the warm bodies would app to the new winning guild and the cycle would start all over.

server reset is the only way to level the playing field once in awhile. think diablo 2 ladders/seasons.

I agree.

Also, Pro tip to anyone new to the forums. Spend very limited time here, most of the forum community is filled with adults that act like this are preteens. I will be the better man and not throw out names, but you know who you are.
