I understand you have it very easy and convenient, and this is a bluebies dream which is why you apped to Nihilum essentially from blue and came over to raid with Nizzar.

I don't think casuals will respond to batphones at 4am, but I think if they have numbers around at an odd hour (remember we kept losing pvp fights to Azrael because of timers being pushed back) they might be able to snipe the occasional dragon. The current population and basically 0 opposing raid force has been developed into this, there are people willing to fight/play but if you face a bigger no life/stronger guild with no variance every time they just quit - which is exactly what has happened.

I played the leadership card a lot when I was griefing Azrael/Force - but it was mostly just trolling and fucking with people. No variance favors #1 guild, it was designed to create pvp but all it has done is shit on the little guy.

This is it. Pretty much. I'm too casual to be bothered to log on when I am not playing. Nor is it even REALISTIC. My life > EQ (even if I can and do put in a lot of late nights). If mobs happen to be "spawning" when I happen to be playing. I might be bothered to log in Miria and heal/pvp/raid.

Max knows, I will pvp if I'm not left alone vs insane odds. I will even pvp vs insane odds, but it gets old as fuck.

I'm leveling a new cleric. I want to get in on some of this on a char thats 100% mine I feel no obligation to share. But I will not be poopsocking batphones. But if there was a way to communicate to me while I was on that shit was going down in a certain zone. Than I would be all for that. Especially towards max level 50+

I don't really like vent/TS its unimmersive as fuck and having to wear bulky headsets while I wait for someone to yell into my ears is not suitable (I will conceed its useful when actually doing something communication intensive). Some kind of batphone system would be a reasonable alternative even if I only showed up 10% of the time. That would be better than what it is currently. Which is basically never. This probably goes for the rest of the server not in nihilum. However "false batphones" were you show up and wait for 4 hrs to do nothing (or have a great big circle jerk) is going to kill a system like that for me. I'll stop caring when boy crys batphone(wolf)

Lastly I cant even group with mainstream Nihilum. They are so sedentary and dedicated to this game that I cannot play at their speed. It makes me ill thinking about it. Theyre fun to group with when the ball gets rolling, but they are capable of waiting around literally hours or hopping on 3-4 different toons over and over just to pharm pixels. Its quite litterally impossible to get on a toon and dungeon crawl with them if they have been assigned a mission from god aka Nizzar.
