My favorite story about Tiggles, here goes..

Tiggles streams GM's -VS- Zibzob exploit guy, holds grand RMT tribunal and QA in the name of justice and server sanctity. Then tiggles plugs the stream with an advert for a (soon to be) commercially available product from which he stands to benefit financially.

He also has the regular support and endorsement of P99 staff to promote his channel, might as well put a big ass energy drink ad and a TMO logo on the front page, since they own the server anyway.

there is an inherent problem with just "keep everything classic" approach to what should and should not be on the server.

p1999 is not a perfect replica of classic eq, and i'm not only referring to the "unfixable" issues of working with the given client that the devs can't really alter for copy-write reasons. there are a number of much more organic issues with p1999 eq that will keep it from perfectly recreating classic eq (take for example, that I am surfing the web and posting to this forum in a window while playing the game right now). Another example, is that the timeline is significantly elongated on p1999 due to the development time schedule. Combine all this extra time with the decade plus of eq experience and easily accessible vast knowledge base available online for the game.

the result is that there are times when individual decisions to deviate from perfect classic data (ivandyrs hoop, for example) makes the best sense for the server. its ironic, but some of these non-classic alterations keep the server more classic than without them.

I don't know if the soulfire issue is there yet, because I don't really play much in the raid game. It isn't as simple as just saying "what was it like in actual classic?"---99.9% of the time this prob true, but sometimes it isn't.

Tmo first to use hoops it was cool until the competition beat them at their own game then they cried until it got nerfed. Tmo = biggest collection of titty babies ever. They all claim they want competition but when the competition finds a clever way to use game mechanics that is not breaking the rules. They cry all day.

It's interesting how you purposefully ignore that the current count of TMO in this thread is at 5-2 against, and 5-1 if you consider Tiggles' suggestion withdrawn.

Also, you know better than to misrepresent the history of the hoop nerf. The relevant portion begins at 2:00: Hoop Nerf: A Historical Primer

The problem with the raid scene is the tracking, batphoning, and overall douchebaggery by everyone involved owing to have 5-10x as many players as the amount of content. Soulfire is way, way, down on the list of problems.

Nail's head, meet hammer.

Not enough content, too many level 60s. On red we are at least motivated to kill everything by our desire to deny it to the competition who could use it to fight us, even though we bank it all or it all rots (with exception of Queen Phara Dar of the Sacred Pixels), I don't get how TMO stays motivated.

It's kinda the same thing I think. Loot denial to the competition. You guys just have something else fun to do with the stuff you get. A 20 Trakanon kill streak has the same psychological impact as getting your corpse camped I'd imagine. It's just a slower way to be mean.

So, the best way that you can describe how you (and your guild) stay motivated is to say that it's a way to be mean? Seems kinda weak. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
