This is why IB was complaining.

Wait you deserved that shot and had the rug pulled out based on your opinion? So this is more about what you feel you are entitled to and less about what is fair?

You must be making up for your failures on live to have to come to a EMU server to try and fight over (again) 10 year old content!

Take a moment and read the quote again. You are doing yourself NO favors.

Hello , I for one applaud the Gms. Their decision is very fair to everyone.

I would ask people on live to share one of their camps. At times they would Ks me and I was forced to call in a gm, as a last resort after asking to share. The Gm would make the other party share spawns, or the other party would be ported away/banned. That's the way it worked.


Sharing is caring! Can't we play nice and let everyone enjoy the server. Not just the top guilds.

Where were all these people when we beta tested anyway?
I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not.

You know if GM's are intent on "keeping everyone happy" and try to be "fair" (fair being w/e the gm's decide), what is the real issue here?

A. Is it the "experience" of re-living raid bosses? If you ask me that nostalgia gets old after killing any raid boss twice.

B. Is it the thrill of competing vs another rival guild?

C. Is it the potential of loot upgrades you may get for your toons?


You have 1 guild who is intent on re-living the full experience which was mostly about competition. I've played since Classic in a high end raiding guild, quit after PoP and moved on to WoW with some RL friends. WoW players never understood "the competitive" element because everything was catered to their needs.

In EQ when an officer shouts "GTF here at X zone" it meant gtf there right now, NOT after you banked your shit, not after you logged on an alt, NOT after you wait for 1 more spawn to pop, because if a few members slacked, a competing guild would already be there buffing and be ready to pull a boss. Look at every top guild in WoW atm and the majority of them have an EQ background, because they had raiding mentality. The casual minded players however want the same stuff the raiders want with as little effort as possible. Talking about how they got more RL issues, limited playtime blah blah blah... well guess what? You don't have to raid and a lot of you won't and there's NOTHING wrong with that. Afraid you won't see Naggy? Plenty of other guilds will get their naggy shot when a different tier of raiding pops in, do you think IB or trans will waste their time doing naggy when better content pops up? No, not if they are true raiding guilds.

So what this all means is that a bunch of casual minded players did not want to show effort in competing, decided to take action by actively sending emails to the gm's who eventually caved in to their needs. So how do you fix it? Well if your completely going to take out the "competition" element out of EQ, why not take it a step further, and just completely emulate WoW by doing these bosses as instances?

Yeah, Gm pops each boss per timer to EACH guild that wants a shot at it, i mean if your dead serious about sharing 1 boss mob with potentially 5+ other guilds eventually, why not just pop 1 for each guild? Your already telling your player base when you can kill a boss, may as well give 1 to everyone.

This is why this whole discussion is so pointless and why GM's should NEVER have gotten involved even if All trans people decided to do a mass suicide pact in RL, letting people resolve the issues would have been far wiser in the Long term of things....
