How many bloomins did it cost ya though?
None. By 50 DKP any Nihilum member had trak bp/VS legs, VP weapons, epic and either a CoF or BCG. It was like standard issue.

Yeah, you did a lot of fluffing though. Farzo had to nut swing 8 months to get a haste item in Empire, and it's wasn't even a 36%er.

Poor guy is fully convinced nihilum wasn't going to gear him. It all happened at 50 dkp. Membership was capped at optimal levels. Apps were turned down to allow a #2 or #3 guild which weren't grieved out of planar raids. Azrael had no interest in planar raids and wanted to snipe the top tier mobs if anyone remembered correctly.

Empire is just about recruiting the whole server until you cannot farm a zone without an <empire> kill crew ganking you for lols.

I agree except with the part where you said stuff.

Membership was never capped. In a year I never saw a single recruit turned down because "we were full". In fact Nizzar stated on multiple occasions he thought people he turned down would just quit and hurt the server pop so he wouldn't - something which I mostly agree with tbh. We even had sub level 50 recruits if they could contribute (like clerics). At no point ever did we not have enough people to clear a raid mob on a scheduled raid, and often times raided with 3-4x the required players.

We also actively recruited high level/competent players from the lesser guilds, batphoned PVP to wipe their raids, did things like corpse camp RD after a PVE Gore wipe, etc. Niz wanted total dominance and would do anything to keep the pixel flow going, and didn't give a flying fuck about what any other guilds wanted.

Trying to revise history to paint Nihilum as some guild of saints trying to foster competition that was disbanded by a corrupt GM for no reason is just fucking dumb dude. Everyone knows, including sane ex members like myself, that Nihilum crushed competition when it popped up with the full force of 50+ VP keyed neckbeards. It's one of the things I loved about the guild. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Only ones I see rewriting history on the regular is empire tbh. Did you also forget when nizzar and elderan wanted to give RD targets from our desired mob pool such as VS to keep the guild "alive" and prevent it from folding into another Azrael feeder guild?

That's a rewrite also. Rd was asked to not raid with azrael in exchange for a few dragons a week. nihilum just wanted to snuff out azrael. it wasn't some charity to keep Rd alive it was too try to hurt nihilum's competition.

Oh you mean the mobs we let RD have, but if one of the items we wanted dropped they had to give it to us even though they killed the mob?

Yeah that definitely was for the best of the server.

Lol naw it was the loot whores in nihilum that are now in empire that were saying that shit. "What happens if x y or z drops? I still need that!"

I remember the names of the ppl kicking up a stink about rd getting mobs and guess what? They are now all tagged empire.
