My suggestion can fix the blue raid scene. Permanently.

[Sodors Finest Poster]

Blue server is far too top heavy. Too many elfs, chasing too many pixels and not enough dragons to go around.

My solution is simple. It occurred to me while riding Gordons express train to my office in Knapford. Take the database of characters who are level 60 - and delete them.

This solution should go a long way in reducing the number of raiders and give the top-end raiding scene some breathing room.

One weird trick to fix the end game raid scene!

Poopsockers hate this!!

[Cecily]

Maybe they should make trains illegal...

Anyway, it's apparent 7 years after P99 launched and 17 years after EQ launched why MMO's are instanced now.

Just make ToV and VP NonCSR zones again. What ever happens happens. Oh you want it easy? Then man up... I guarantee things will be a lot easier. Oh and DPS races. No more yellow text or nothing. Just whoever can out dps the rest.

It'd be more fun if mobs summoned at 100% than getting trained everywhere without consequence to the trainer, imo.

i think you people just don't actually like everquest

i don't blame you - it's an awful game from a design perspective, for the most part

the only reason it worked in 1999 was because hardly anyone knew what they were doing

I am more surprised that so many people are willing to be on call 24/7 for pixels in an emulated game.

I think very people are actually on call 24/7. My phone goes into silent mode overnight, and if a batphone would be inconvenient for my RL activities (such as they are) I ignore it.

And yeah, I knew that Velious wasn't going to solve shit in terms of raid 'competition', but I think the staff is just tired of dealing with the raid mess (conveniently forgetting that they created it) and was hoping for a pony.

Oh come on, Loraen. You really can't believe that the staff "created" the raid mess. The players created the mess.

Remember when Veeshan's Peak was not CSR and tons and tons of players argued that they wanted rules in there, especially Forceful Entry when they were losing to The Mystical Order. When the staff finally listened, the players still weren't happy and wanted more and more chartered rules or things to turn back to how they were before.

The players have always been the center of every problem on this server.
