Fippy GM's spawned mobs for raid guilds?

[Hoggen]

Rogean's explanation seems perfectly reasonable to me. However, spawning non-instanced mobs on live also seems reasonable, given that all the content later in the game was instanced, and the people are paying. If you want to play on live and not experience the competition of original EQ, and Sony wants to humor you, then I see nothing wrong with it. I just see no reason to play with original content minus the ONLY F-ING THING that made it interesting: the competition.

Right, because camping a character in the room where a boss will spawn within the next 3 days is what made Everquest interesting. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

By "competition" you mean 2 guilds poopsocking the entire raid content and leaving a pretty boring end game behind for the rest of the server. What a pathetic waste of time for both parties, SERIOUSLY!

Fuck that, this is 2011...

There are plenty of MMOs that have instanced content. Nearly everyone who plays this game knows what they're getting into.

It's not some robber baron stuff where the evil poopsockers are oppressing the EQ middle class or something.

To be fair when some of us joined the server the population was around 200 during peak times. "Zerg forces" a year ago was when you had 28 people show up for a raid. So, while I knew what I was getting in to back then is not the same as what we have now.

True, I definitely accept that point.

So your solution would be? Cap population at 200 and never let anyone else play until you have every slot filled with top gear? Have Rogean set respawn timer on gods/dragons to 1 hour? Not sure what you are pining for. You can always play solitaire. No competition, total predictability: you can leave anytime you like and come back when you want to.

I played this game when there were maybe 3 guilds on a server that could do top end content, and it was a blast racing to said content when it spawned. Been there.. done that. Really don't give a damn what it looks like on this server, but I understand some people do, and they have my sympathies.

Ouch! I hope you didn't need stitches for how hard you bit your tongue, Salty.
