And whats left simply joined the competition. Can't beat em, join em! And now the only 60 man L60/125+MR raid force on the server cries out for competition. Look under your own roof.

One huge difference that I've witnessed on p99 compared to my eqlive server experience is the massive amounts of players per raiding guild.

On classic live, I'm not sure if it was the inter-guild conflicts, lack of enough loot to go around, or generally wanting to compete, but there were never guilds this large.


Why so large, raid guilds?

why are the top guilds so big? because they have to be, a zerg force mentality has been ingrained into how these guilds operate, they fear losing their pixels so much that they mass recruit and buy up every 50+ account they can to secure their position as "top" guild

I don't understand the competition thing either. Which guild can log off whatever character they are playing to log in to the all ready buffed and ready to go raid force sitting at whatever mob?

I'd love to know how many level 60 accounts are under TMO control, in regards to how many level 60's are on the server.

Or in highschool / college, chilling on mother's dime. Some have moved past parental dependence, others have not.

Devs: Cut the spawn variance window.

People trying to compete:

1. Camp out buffed at raid spawns. If you are still leveling, well, finish leveling or suck it up.

2. Get your own bat phone. Make a raid spawn calendar. Get organized.


There is hope.

No offense intended, but BDA is not competition for TMO. They may lose a kill or two to here and there, but they are in an entirely different league.

I've heard from a few BDA/ex BDA now that despite this, BDA leadership is/has been trying to turn the guild into something it isn't, much like how TMO went from a friendly semi-casual guild to hardcore raiding and aggression, except they actually succeeded.
We are still friendly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. RNF isnt representative of our real personalities as so many are convinced. However, TMO was always an aggressive/hardcore guild on live. So we were already equipped to make the change here.

Let's get a couple things straight:

1. BDA is still mostly casuals, and will remain that way.
2. BDA isn't as hell bent on getting raid mobs as TMO is, so yeah, we miss a lot of kills.
3. I'd consider myself a fairly active member of the guild, and I don't even remember you being in the guild. So take that for what it's worth.
4. I don't understand why you feel compelled to jump all over BDA every time you get the chance. Sorry things didn't work out with you. Lots of change going on in the guild for the better, and we've had a few unfortunate losses as a result. Hope you weren't a victim of that.
Be casual then. Do it with dignity. I suggest you use Divinity as your role model. Stop whining up a storm, petitioning, and pointing fingers every time you fail. It's pathetic and disingenuous.
