A modest proposal: Limit guild sizes

[Flowz]

Limiting the number of poeple in a guild wont do anything, most people use some sort of program to communicate now like vent or discord, and they will just split the guild into 2 or 3 instead of one, they will still have the same amount of poeple raiding in the zone but there will be tags like Empire1, Empire2, Empire3, or whatever people want as names,

[keyz]

Always going to be one big guild dominating on a server like.

Resistance has had chances to compete, but that's a very difficult hill to climb for a number of reasons.

Eh, mostly clicky use is mallets for quick aggro (which could easily be done on red with some legwork) and wort pots for Sontalak/Zlandicar. They don't play much of a role in TOV.

Anyway, everything outside of Vyemm is easily killable with 35, and Vyemm himself is MUCH easier now, so I bet with 35 well geared/good class composition raiders it would be possible.

sure, if you had 2 warriors, 5 clerics, and 28 rogues i could see it being doable assuming enchanters/shamans/monks are being logged in/out to buff and pull and none of the clerics fuck up at all at any point of the fight

i could also see the same scenario for AoW being doable with 60 people if you have 4 warriors, 10 clerics, 46 rogues, etc.

but those aren't realistic scenarios

The minimum amount of people required to kill a mob is largely irrelevant. There is no down side to bringing 3x what you need.

possibly 3x as many people bitching about not getting their pixels [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i haven't seen end-game yet, but i see no problem with the way r99 works. if u want ungriefed, uncontested raiding/leveling, go neckbeard on blue. u want a chance at end-game while being "casual"? join the zerg, or croot n contest (yea, u cant contest meaningful end-game, but that just means anything lesser is always free for taking).

Plenty of pixels to go around with Velious out. Even in Kunark with Nihilum that wasn't an issue.

[TheDuck]

we would have to split empires officers in order to get this done, that would be the only way multiple guilds could run on this server.

since noone else on this server is capable of running a guild. lol.

tldr its not empires fault there isnt more competitions, its everyone elses fault.

Welcome to EQ.

this is what im saying

my only idea is to give a sort of downside to increasing number of people for an engagement

its 2016 , lets challenge ourselves, shit is so boring when u kill it with 90 people

Problem is that loot is very well and evenly distributed, meaning even those with 90+% RA still have quite a few items to bis anyway. Why quit something that is working so good? Only real berg out has been Gzaz and you can see how well that turned out.

you clearly don't see the big picture, what exactly is working good? that ur char is getting geared?

for what? to run around with armor alone on red99?

see u on wipe day

after 10 years in the emulated eq pvp business (yes longer then all of you) i know the ins and outs of this shit like the top of my dick, pvp servers have an expire date, shit gets stale people get bored. after experiencing how stale red99 has become i think the thing that made vztz so great (even though we hated it back then) was the occasional wipes to stirr things up.

the staff reminds us they will never wipe, i admire their commitment but there will come a time when red99 hits below 10 and they should consider moving those characters over to blue and reboot red, no wipe ever took place, no one can cry about it and the rest of us can be men about it and pvp over dwarven ring mail tunics again

I understand what you're saying, and don't necessarily disagree conceptually. But when you say "ourselves" what you really mean is "lets make it harder for Empire". In that way it is really no different than Lite begging for variance.
