Red99: what do you want to see happen in the guild scene?

Because they refuse to recruit they will never be able to truly compete on a mass pvp scale, so resort to guerrilla warfare.

The pvp I enjoy most is the huge epic battles involving triple digits in a zone. I fear that azrael prevents a lot of these from happening by keeping people chained to the guild who feel committed out of loyalty to stay with their current team. I'm hoping fresh will eventually compete next, but right now they seem to be a feeder guild. I think red desperately needs a strong guild leader from blue to come over with a core and build up over here. The pop is on the rise and now with the exp bonus is the time to get ready for Velious gains.

And that would be <Azrael>, I presume.

So you're saying there are no PvP-oriented guilds currently recruiting?? On Red server??? Sounds like a niche waiting to be filled...

And by the way, I think you missed <Suave>. But that's still only ONE guild recruiting with intention to contest.

Praise the population increase. And may there be ever more players to play with and guilds to choose from.

By all the Gods, that sounds epic!!! I hope to see that myself.

Perhaps a Blue savior will come. Though I think those of us interested in contesting content and experiencing large-scale PvP should get together and make it happen.

Anybody reading this who's looking for that kind of PvP action, send me a message so we can start playing together.

I'd like to see the red server shut down for an alternate ruleset pve server

Don't care about the guild situation here. It'll always be the same. Waiting for dat hardcoded SZ emu to one day launch. Or a better game to come out.

You mean there should be an option like "I am unguilded and content to PvP as such without raiding"? Or what do you mean exactly?

I thought raiding is necessary to get the best gear in order to excel in PvP at levels 46-60. Is that not the case?

pvp with larger guilds, really interested in pvp? get Nihilum back to server if you dare *g*

The harsh reality is in the numbers. On vz for example when we had around 3000 players there were 5 raid guilds that could field up to 100 players. I was involved in a 75v75v75 in plane of tactics w defiant zephyros and ancient dawn. Shit lasted over am hour, but that's beside the point. 500 hardcore "raiders" who contested mobs was about 18 percent of the server, with the rest lower tier guilds doing lesser content or casuals.

With 60 to 80 raiding on r99 on a 300 person server it is about right in comparison. The harsh reality is we need more players to have more raiders.

Ah. Good points. Thanks for the perspective. Maybe there aren't enough players to sustain a healthy number of guilds.

I thought Red recently reached 300 players online at one time, which would indicate a player base even higher than that (surely not every single player was online at once). I wonder how many players have logged in in the last 30 days.

The next question is, how do we foster a larger population here on Red?

[EQsale]

May i ask is there a guild on red that acually /randoms loots to people who showed up for the kill rather then the whole bias dkp systems or loot counsil bs on red if so please tell me the name.
