I see reading comprehension isn't your thing, so I'll leave you be.

ok i got it now. nihilum is toxic/scum before and after heartbrand, but they were totally the good guys with him

[Nirgon]

Nizzar just looking for some honest to goodness play nice PvP.

Sounds like it will be fun.

[Nizzarr]

You mean the guy that heartbrand logged on and sold all his gear to the vendor, for not giving a pair of mithril arms back in the days?

[heartbrand]

Actually, it was a Cloak of Shadows, 10k, and mith arms. Also interesting considering you justify your stripping of Beowulf based on the fact he took "guild" things or Retti took "guild" things on that char, but then want to call me out for taking MY EXACT ITEMS from the player. Nor did I delete his char or do any derp shit like you guys did with mellow.

You're such a bullshit politician

No one believes anything you say because you can't even take a firm stance on anything for more than a couple of months.

From april regarding Mellowyellow, his deeds and GM inconsistency.

The biggest impetus for the Mellowyellow situation was that everyone was bragging about the Northwest deletion, including mellow, and we were told SORRY BROS GUARD UR INFOS. Had that been handled according to how Mellow case was handled, there would have never been a Mellow case.

Actually, it was a pretty shocking revelation. I remember talking in AIM Chat to Gong about how we better be careful to never give our info to Nizzar or Tune. Was a real eye opening moment about the guild and how it was ran.

Just move on man. You'll never accomplish anything here because you're a shitty leader and a shitty person. Hence the reason we got 5 new RD apps this week alone.

Nah, there just isn't enough content in Kunark to be non-varianced, and expect more than 1 competitive guild. 25 Hrs a week is a fairly minimal time investment for the type of players we have here and is clearly maintainable forever, with even time to grief lowbie planar raids !

The argument of releasing Velious to help this is actually the same argument to put in Variance - variance will spread the content out to take larger time requirements allowing for targets to slip through the cracks, or at least letting people do things under the radar. That's the same argument for Velious, "We will be doing NTov so Talendor may just be forgotten about etc". Having all 7 day timers down on 5 hrs one day a week, VP another day of the week for 5-6 hrs, and then Trak every 3 days which is like an hour just really isn't supporting a competitive environment.

You keep making excuses for why guilds fall, but they're all bullshit like most of the things out of your mouth.

I think the best description of variance was from Heartbrand (don't feel like digging it up) but he basically said - we get 0 now, even if we get 1% more that is a good thing for RD. So in order for RD to maybe get 1 raid target a month you're going to make the entire server poopsock forever? Doesn't seem like a good cost/benefit.

You also go on to say that Velious will essentially have the same effect as variance. I think non variance will benefit EVERYONE in Velious. It is unlikely (barring about 100 people coming back) that Nihilum will be able to lock down everything, especially old world content. Having no variance will definitely benefit a guild without much raiding experience in those situations.

Based on recent things it seems like the staff is very concerned with the long term health of R99. I believe this is why they held off on variance. If even 10% of people just said screw it, I'm not going to put in the time required to win raid targets that is a substantial blow to a population that is already critically low. If you're truly concerned about the box population and server health you'd focus your forumquesting efforts on the 1-51 experience, fight for a 4+/- PVP range and getting PVP range restrictions put in place on experience zones like SolB. The most likely people to quit are the ones getting griefed by supertwinks in Unrest not the level 60s who are having trouble getting Trak BPs.

I don't know if Variance will make things better or worse I guess I can't say for certainty. I do know that spreading content out over longer periods of times, or even days - if those mobs were staggered 1 a day, oh man so much more potential. That's the biggest thing about variance, getting the mobs on more than one day.

Regardless I've said this enough times no need to repeat, Velious may fix the problem, or maybe you'll keep all of kunark down 1 day a week for fun because you guys are ridiculous. Or maybe you will cockblock Velious, and a second guild cockblocks Kunark, and it's just a 2 guild box now. I don't know.

I do know Innoruuk, Cazic Thule, Severilous, Talendor, Venril Sathir, Fay, should not all be dropped in 4-5 hrs one day a week. Those were epic exciting mobs to fight on Live, I've been in Nihium there's no excitement or fun in any of it, just showing up and farming them. It's like static timer, smashing them all back to back cheapens it, Live must have had a small variance to split mobs up, or maybe it was just repops fuck I don't know this is fucking gay though,
