Getting rid of the FTE policy entirely would be a great first step to fixing things around here.

remove variance and eliminate gm intervention except on cases of ninja looting, i guarantee there would be a rotation within month

who would want that tho? peace doesnt make for exciting thread titles and website traffic

if all the threads were about "what class i should make?" or "whats a good spot for a lvl whatever shaman to solo" then this would be a rather dismal place

I agree this would be a great step after removing FTE, with the exception that training should still be considered something against the "play nice policy" and suspensions should be awarded for breaking such policy(outside of Greifer's Peak of course).

They also should enforce a "raid force" policy, that once you have enough players in a zone that could realistically kill a particular target and they are in position to engage such a target that they should be given first dibs on said target.

This would specifically be a good way to combat a guild like TMO who have many individual players camping multiple alts at different mobs so via batphone they are a click away from adding another player to the force since poopsocks involving multiple guilds can't exist under this ruleset and whatever character that's camped there is camped there for nothing in this situation.

This suggestion of course has been repeatedly ignored even though it's known there are timestamps for how long characters have been logged in and when they enter zones so proving who's "force" was there first is as simple as a GM looking at a zonelog.

People will always find things to flame each other over, don't lose faith just yet.

variance was a good experiment, but i think it causes more problems than it fixes

did a GM a few pages back speak admiringly of the zerg guild approach to gaming? The single worst guild model eq -- or any other online game -- has ever sunk to?


all is now explained. The server is run by drones who dream of drone armies. Yikes.

It used to be considered shameful to have a roster that exceeded your raid force. Glad to see the GM's here keepin things gimped.

I am having a lot of fun playing on this server. I enjoy my time on this server. And I absolutely dread hitting level 60 on this server.

To see a GM say that if people want to kill raid mobs they should join the poopzerg is incredibly disheartening.

Morning update, no word from TMO leaders yet. So I don't even know if it's being discussed. If a TMO member could give us some feedback if anything is going, would be appreciated [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty sure he said if a few of those guilds merged they could compete for the mobs. If you feel that means zerging that's your perception, or if you look at it rationally it could just mean that if you have a guild of 40 ppl and you merge with a guild of 40 ppl then it's more likely you could field 30-40 ppl to kill raid mobs when it pops. Just curious what is your raiding experience here on P99?

You know all too well that having a big roster is only one part of what's required to compete. In short, you also need to sell your soul to the pixel god [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
2nd league would be for the people not able/ready to do so heh.

Back to the topic. TMO, we waiting for your answer pals!

P.S: Cheers to all of you who sent me supporting msgs in game yesterday btw ^^
