My proposal for Raiding guilds and GMs of P1999

[Cyrano]

You guys act like we never have random people tag along with our raids so they can experience a boss for whatever reason.

True..but only if you are recruiting them and they rarely if EVER will have a shot at any of the raid loot.

You can open your own server if you want to. I dont understand why you're demanding Rogean does it. The Emu code is available to everyone, knock yourself out.

No where have i demanded that anyone do it. I have on numerous posts stated that i would do it both development and finances.

I have posted the idea of a server that is like p1999 but will have a GM enforced raid rotation system. That system will be developed by the guilds themselves but it must give member guilds the chance at content.

Supreme you know that you are looking at a MINIMUM of 3-5k to just get started right?

You want reasons, how bout I give you 10 reasons to absolve your retardedness...

1)Community Fracture
2)Hosting costs
3)Hardware costs
4)Emergency Maintenance
5)Data Maintenance
6)Smaller player pool for each server - and good luck with maintaining costs while building a consistent playerbase willing to donate
7)Donations rolling in on TWO servers is sure to raise some eyebrows
8)More of the same horseshit once populations stabilize (you've not fixed a DAMN thing)
9)GMs/Guides (there is enough work here already)
10)People solving problems by throwing money at social issues deserve to be shot. (Yes put that skinny $%^& out on the white house lawn and put one in the back of his head...)


I'll bet if I really thought about it, I can do ten more, but I winged it.

I understand you want to do your own thing, what are you proposing, the devs hand over a copy and let you do your thing with it? Oh hells no... Proposing to pay them for it won't go over well at all either, and again, eyebrows will start going up. I already know their is some chatter going on over at SOE's EQLive team office regarding this server, we may not want to push it... Before anyone starts flapping their jack about how "SOE can't do anything" they had better start doing some research.

$3000-5000 dollars? *gasp*

How about i give you 10 reasons why your 10 reasons are invalid?

1)Your community is already crumbling because people are choosing to leave or not play at all because there is nothing waiting for them after level 50.

2)Covered

3)Covered

4)Covered

5)Covered

6)Since it would be a fresh start server i think you are wrong in assuming that there will be a smaller player pool for each server. In fact i think there will be a returning of players as well as more people willing to actually play again.

7)Raise eyebrows with who? Sony? Ya i am doing this to make some $$$ for myself of course..just like everything else I have done/do.

8)Horseshit like..FFA ,perma-camped raid mobs? Yet the specific purpose of a second server is to have a GM enforced raid rotation that is governed by the guilds/player base themselves instead of a spawn variance FFA system.

9)Thats right because only p1999 has people willing or able to be GMs/Guides!

10)Your statement that this is a social issue and then trying to correlate it between something political is kinda far fetched. Offering a second server for people that desire to see a rotation while leaving a server for those that desire to see "FFA" system is a great idea. Its a two way street.

I do not feel forcing people that like FFA to accept a rotation is ok nor do i feel forcing people that like rotation to accept FFA works either.


Either way when a second server does become available you can always choose to not play on it /shrug.

At this point only 4 guilds are up in the planes with any frequency: Div, DA, IB and Remedy. Not sure what these other guilds are you speak of, Trans is all but finished (sorry Supreme). IMO these guilds have a right to a rotation.

I would remove the variance from the mobs. Each week the 4 guilds in the rotation would random for first pick. The mini bosses in fear and hate would be included with their God and the guild that chose that God would get 2 mini boss kills for that week. Once the target has spawned the guild that claimed them has 24 hours to kill the mob or it becomes up for grabs (see the current raid system). You would not get to choose the same target 2 weeks in a row of course.

A timestamped screenshot of the mobs corpse would be required to be posted on these forums so that the accurate time of the respawn could be determined.

Occam's Razor...

I beg your pardon? I believe Winston Churchill said it best,
