I posted this elsewhere, but might as well say it here as well. TMO isn't doing anything different that hasn't been a precedent set by OTHER guilds on P99 before for the past 2 years. The difference is that the semi-casual and casual players have finally "caught up" and are getting to the point of being "raid ready" (if not already). So things are coming to a head. It was bound to happen at some point. The server caps at 60, so I guess that point is now.

So the anti-TMO sentiment is kind of being "encouraged" becuz of that. Nobody screamed a year ago when IB/DA were monopolizing all the content becuz there was no reason to. Guilds were still able to stay busy with Fear/Hate/Sky becuz they still needed a lot of gear and levels.

While I don't feel a full fledged rotation is the way to go - I do feel there needs to be room for compromise in order for the server to "stabilize". TMO is a full-on in your face competitive guild and should be able to play accordingly. However, P99 is supposed to be an outlet for EVERYONE to be able to enjoy some nostalgic re-invention of Everquest. While some servers had harsh competition for spawns, some had rotations in place. And I believe a middle ground that both sides of the fence can agree upon (one that instills competition and keeps TMO's engines running, but at the same time offers progression and opportunity for casual guilds) would be the most viable option at this point in order to encourage population growth and long-term results for all parties involved, as well as the server itself.

My 2cp...

Casual guilds did suffer as much from IB as from TMO now, it's just that IB being gone, TMO takes the lead and the bad reputation in the process. Casuals don't have issues with leveling (IB & TMO & BDA have reached the point where they got armies of alts) and have been max levels for a long time.

I agree with all the rest.

When have there not been two guilds competing until now? It is not a fair statement to say that anyone suffered from either in isolation when the situation was never that way for either. You cannot compare anything to TMO now, because TMO is the only guild to ever act this way in this situation.

IB never had real competition except for two or three months of DA and then TMO. They had basically all the content to themselves for a long long time.

Saying it doesnt make it true....

The absorption of DA into TMO took time for it to become a force that actually competed with TR. Everyone knows this. I do not see why accepting it hurts your feelings so much.

we took our first trak before the merger and our second immediately after. We competed on multiple mobs immediately what took time is for our stragglers to quit so our numbers became reasonable and we could grow efficient.

oh and saying it doesnt make it true. lol
