If they released velious, you "casuals" would have some of the kunark content opened up for all your "casual" raiding.

Unfortunately, theres no velious and all the casuals are 60s with no epics and want epics handed to them.

At this point, instead of doing raid rules that ruins the community, they should have put in the epics changes from march 2001 and let the casual scums get welfare epics.

Then nobody would cry about not getting raid mobs.

I wish you all many gold plated costanzas and dragonbone bracelets in your future.

They didn't have a choice indefinitely farming the same mobs they no longer needed loot for, just to keep them from everyone else right? They were forced at gunpoint? At this point, they are trying to implement raid rules that the community wants instead of continuing to suffer through the unplayable end-game that existed before server staff forced dialogue. You need to re-evaluate who is doing the ruining around here, it's definitely not casuals or server staff.

how much time have you spent in game and how much time did they spend?

Servers weren't stuck on Kunark for 3 years.

Servers didn't have 6-8 guilds capable of killing Trakanon.

Server's didn't have the majority of the player base with a max level character, nor was it classic for the top guilds to have alt armies of maxed out twinks camped at every competitive raid mob.

Therefore, a non classic solution is required. There is no way you can disagree with any of my points above.

This. I don't understand why the hardcore guilds can't comprehend these concepts. They use the argument of "Hardcore guilds and competition is classic" but neglect to realize that over the last few years, the classic experience on P99 has become anything but the classic experience (for all the reasons posted above). Their arguments lack this basic reasoning when bringing up the "classic card".

When Velious came out on Live (just over a year from Kunark's release), the hardcore guilds (I was in Vis Maior on Quellious, I know) migrated to the next content while the smaller tighter-knit, casual and family-oriented guilds moved onto the old content (that was boring and useless in regards to loot etc) and smaller raid targets in Velious and Kunark.

I really have to question the motives of the hardcore guilds, but can't fault them either... what else are they to do? If it brings them fun (whatever warped sense of fun killing Trak 200+ times can give you), who are we to say otherwise? The simplest answer, usually being the most opportune, would have to be to release Velious in a timely manner. Kunark was not designed/intended to go on this long, but here we are.

Actually to succeed here has little to do with the time you play and more with how many alts you bought to park at raid targets.

What is a hardcore EQer on p99?
