Staff - Players - TMO, a Treatise on the Future of the Server

[Nirgon]

Here's the thing.

The wrong approach is "we deserve mobs" - that's exactly how the guys on top feel, BUT they are willing to (if they do work) drag in everyday heavy eyed etc, play till it hurts. That's supply and demand. You have a demand but can't seem to supply the effort.

Trust me when I say if you guys wanted to compete for, say, another mob.. there's a good chance you could post a tracker there and have people camped out to kill it.

That said, you don't have to kill Trakanon or VP dragons or Venril to enjoy the game. Those spawns, are in fact, and were in 1999, held down by the top guild.. accept it.

Do your epics and plane of sky and shit. A lot of that shit is best in slot and I don't think is hyper contested.

The good news in Velious is that I think spawns like King Tormaxx and probably Plane of Growth will be all up for grabs until you're ready to put the pedal to the metal and fight for shit like 7th talismans.

Part of the FAIL of this current gaming culture is "well if I don't get to kill the highest end content, I'm not playing". Wtf.

Imo release an optional velious beta so we can go testing

He has a very strong point. Ball is in the staff's court if they REALLY WANT TO corral TMO away from current targets. I'm sure it is being worked on right now and may be absolutely in no shape of ready, but its a beta let them make the laundry lists and do the finer points of testing for you.

Velious increases the Supply.

@falkun I wonder where you get your statistics from. Based on average server population TMO is roughly 20-25% of the active server population. Alot of guilds out there aren't actively trying to raid. Where do you get this majority from?

/who "the mystical order" all
There are 12 players in EverQuest

/who all count
There are 236 players in EverQuest

Unless there are a LOT of ashamed TMO out there /anon, which is a decent possibility considering your recent fall(s) from grace, we are wondering where YOU come up with these numbers.

I don't think TMO is actually the high a percentage of the population, but this test doesn't even take into account the number of members playing alts that aren't in TMO.

I think TMO does represent a decent percentage of the people who have been active for several months.

You have to count the TMO alt guild Enraptured to.

From Amelinda to Alarti in a PM, posted publicly (emphasis mine):

(snip some stuff)

Zeelot's attempt to circumvent the raid suspension by having people join Enraptured.....

and speaking of that crap....what the fuck man.... That's like him giving me the middle finger and I do not like it at all! That is blatant disregard for the rules. The PEOPLE in the guild are raid suspended...not the tag. If the dodgers get suspended for being shady...their team can't suddenly don Brave's uniforms and go play baseball as the Braves for the duration of their suspension. the PLAYERS are suspended. This is the same. (And don't tell me that people are joining enraptured of their own accord. I know all about Zeelot's post on your board saying that people could go over and raid with enraptured for 2 weeks and get DKP with them but would only take certain loot. I know about zeelot co-leading enraptured with toleez, his alt)

(snip the rest)

Even beyond that, everyone noticed when Darkdeath, brother of Zeelot, co-founder of TMO, was tagged Enraptured. The brother and co-founder stuff is just heresay from my end, but his tag switch wasn't.

I can't fucking wait for next month when we're back to being called a zerg guild. You guys are perpetually mad at something. You claim we're all jobless basement dwellers because we have a different playstyle. People work shift work, have days off mid-week, and live in different countries. Before the suspension, we were only fielding 20-35 on average for targets.

Like someone said earlier, Trak/VS/VP were always locked down by the top dog. As far as killing the other shit "just to cockblock," someone will always need a Tobrin's off Vox/Talendor, WR bags, CoF, BCG, AoN, Shield of Rainbow Hues, etc.

I'd be just as happy to respond to batphones and kill shit and give the other guilds the loot we don't need, but something tells me ya'll wouldn't be cool with that either.

Rotations just aren't fun, IMO. Periodic respawns and the release of Velious will cure this server. Every single outdoor Kunark dragon will be infinitely easier to obtain as well as Trak/VP. Velious will occupy TMO/BDA and all the high end Velious gear will make VP shit obsolete, minus Phara Dar and a few select pieces from the other dopes in there.
