Pure speculation.

Ah, good to know.

If you were the top guild in a game for quite some time and wanted to leave the server for greener pastures

That right there shows you a glimpse into the guild and the fact they had some internal issues going on breaking the guild apart well before they ever decided to wake the sleeper.

justify it any way, but you knew damn well it was dickish.
the storys we all heard from the past were enough to experience it yet let our museum of a server enjoy the fruits. "you" just had to have the apple and were tickled it would be pissing others off.
though we already knew you would be doing this and if the tables were turned, it wouldnt have been "us".
in other words the "other" guild would have had let many more loots drop.

You realize that p99 isn't instanced, right?

Literally every time you've ever killed something, turned in a quest item that despawns the mob, looted a drop... every time you were denying the person who showed up later the chance to do what you did.

Are you a dick for killing Hadden and looting his earring, and then when someone logs on an hour later to look for him he is denied the chance because you got "the apple" instead?

Are you a dick for turning in a shimmering pearl for your cleric when another cleric wants it too?

Are you a dick for winning a one-time GM event instead of letting the 2nd place guy have the prize?

Are you a dick for winning a BOTB and getting a title instead of the next guy?

Nope.

And Rampage aren't dicks for experiencing content just because it so happens to also deny content to everyone else, either. They might be dicks if they revel in the salt that comes on account of what they did, or if they woke the sleeper solely to spite everyone else. But short of that? That's non-instanced MMO for you.

i will just point out that when I kill hadden it's in the expectation that he will respawn.

Oh c'mon, killing the Sleeper is nothing like any of those, or anything else in EverQuest for that matter. It is the only way, in the entire game, that you can affect the world permanently.

They respawn; Sleeper doesn't.

Someone has to win those; no one has to wake the Sleeper.

I'm sure you can see the difference between killing Hadden and waking the Sleeper. One will respawn every 8? hours forever, the other will remove some mobs from the game who dropped some BiS or otherwise unique items.

Also as far as "experiencing content" is concerned, I fail to see what content are you referring to? Seeing the model of Kerafyrm? Google it and see it, there, you got your content experience.

The person(s) who decided to wake the sleeper were doing it to spite the rest of the server and secure the legacy status of their robes, sceptres, masks, etc.

Rest of the guild members followed because they figured "if I don't go there, they will still do it without me and I won't even be able to say I was there".


You won't ever get Dainty Gloves or that CHA mask on your new enchanter on P99 because some unemployed overweight nerd who hadn't showered in a week decided so after his third daily wank. You're welcome.

i heard that hokushin flew into an autistic rage when a competitor guild got the first Gharn's Fist of Nerdiness and whipped his guild of burning out neckbeards onward into a teary eyed attempt to give their lives some semblance of meaning beyond hemorrhoids and type 2 diabetes

really not much "content" to experience with the sleeper. I checked the twitch and it was basically the same as EQ always is. a lot of boring waiting around, fat dudes mouth breathing in vent, and an occassional glimpse at an ethereal dragon killing ppl

Don't let anyone try and convince you it was anything more than a last ditch effort to "win" p99 by denying select pixels to the rest of the server in perpetuity. Keep in mind, these are the same people who spent their precious vacation hours (or forego having employment at all) to play everquest 16-20 hours a day prior to the start of velious launch

Why not google what a wardar drop looks like and be content? Or play a custom server and give yourself all the wardar loot? There. No need to have the sleeper asleep still!

You guys are grouchy that you were denied content because of what someone else wanted to do, and therefore you're arguing that someone else should have been denied content because of what you want to do.

Again, the "Content" poor Rampage would have been denied is a 30 second script of watching a buggy model killing some models in other zones. No extra loot. In exchange for that they permanently decreased content for everyone else.
