All Players are Raid Suspended Until Further Notice

No. The problem is the # of mobs, # of players who have had way too much time including bonus xp weekends out the ass to hit max level.

The other problem is "terms are dictated to you" by a top guild which you immediately respond to with refusal and indignation. As very apparent, it took EXTREME measures by the staff to even get you THINKING about agreeing and it STILL can't happen.

The way to go here (I know, me suggesting shit) is to get a majority of guilds in agreement on a system, give the others some time to talk it over and then, they either:

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

OR

GET DISBANDED

As I've said, I've been on both sides of these disputes and trying to get mobs. What Rogean did really was the only way to get us this close, now, its time for people to get with the program or get disbanded. That's the only way we can move forward.

Inb4 I want to see any single guild disbanded here, I don't. Inb4 I just want you to bend to TMO/FE's "mandates" (they aren't mandates).

As Alarti said before, they were willing to (very begrudgingly, the "uber" hardended CORE won't even come back if I understand correctly) give up 22 spawns a month (that's like 30 days almost a raid mob a day here). I think them holding down Faydedar, Inny, CT were ridiculous at times when they didn't have mains that needed epics and it was time to share. However, refusing to even make an EFFORT to track the mob when its your turn etc is just plain old lazy and ridiculous. If you can't put forth that much effort, I really don't think you deserve raid mobs. And I don't mean 24-7 track watches. I mean between 5pm-11pm normal time having 1 tracker out of your supposedly "same size" guild at the mob.

EverQuest isn't a game about "everyone seeing the content", it was NEVER by intention a game like this. However, I do agree its a 14 year old game and people need to chill out and let others enjoy the content. I think most of the propositions were reasonable and its obvious some people can't pick something that isn't completely in their favor. It's a COMPROMISE, so learn to treat it like one and work with each other. If you're getting 4 mobs a month up from 0, be happy. Velious will also come and I hope current rotations will be even more relaxed and further divided by guilds choosing and sticking to factions.

That said... I definitely saw this coming and the staff has pushed you 95% of the way. I've been more pleased to see Nilbog even suggest things and Rogean/Sirken working with you guys. However, a 5% push to force out those who cannot understand what a COMPROMISE is (not getting EXACTLY what you want) is going to be necessary.

My favorite thing that will come out of this is an END to poop socking and 2-4am batphones for ANYONE. Also understand you'll hafta be patient for items and show up to a lot of raids no matter what system is in place if you are to get the things you want. Understand that's going to take a lot of time and raids, NOTHING changes that.

They could also increase the spawn rate and limit how many times a month a guild can clear an encounter, but I guess that wouldn't be very classic like.

So the issue built by a lack of supply you wish to solve by limiting an already more-limited supply than was classic?

This makes sense how?

Increasing the spawn rate would increase the supply, and limiting guilds from clearing it too many times would allow more to have access to that supply. How does that limit supply?

I have a feeling it won't take more than a few months to max out on Velious anyway. There isn't a level cap increase, and no AA points, so once people get raid geared, it'll fly by.

Faction theres so much faction work to do in velious.

Just realized all these rival guilds could just pick a different faction instead of fighting over shit. I know that theres obviously a best but at least it gives a different option.

Dude I said two words and made his giant ego spew shit for 3/4th of a page. Why don't you crawl back to your little hole, and wait for that batphone for your little raids.


Oh wait.

Yes...but this is the choice of all who play classic EQ. We know all the content that will ever be on this server. There will be no additional content added. Ever.

If you can't enjoy it or if you've enjoyed it as much as you can, then its time to take a break until Velious, not to ruin the server for those who still find static content enjoyable.

Either folks enjoy playing on a server with static content or they don't. In the long run, maybe they will consider hitting the reset button, but its been stated multiple times that this isn't likely to happen for a variety of reasons.

Havent raided in 3 weeks actually, and I feel great. I get to level my lowbie mage and chill w/ some popcorn till this crap blows over and my guild can dominate again. Tears are classic.

You are playing a druid in a raid. Whatever "dominating" your guild does has nothing to do with you.

Except for ports to hate..oh wait..wizard

except for heals...oh wait bp clerics,

You can evac stragglers to Talendor and Sev!

good job by you!
