I honestly don't know how you deal with the Nizzar factor showing up every 3 days for Trak, spending an entire day for the 7 day world dragons, and then a day for VP for years, even once he has every item on multiple alts.

I guess I don't understand why they would want to do it, so I have no solutions.

Sim pops. We witnessed it. Nizzar got dunked on multiple times. They couldn't adapt to a dynamic pvp environment, and then thanks to Rogean they didn't have to

Zerg style only works well with predictability

Yeah they almost need to be hands on and increase the amount of pops if it's highly cock blocked, and lower it if there's multiple guilds contesting and gaining pixels.

this is technically english, but would you care to give it another go?

Agree with El Presidente above. When we had some regular sim repops for a minute, it really shook things up (and was the most fun I had on red).

Rethinking how the spawn system works might help to stop things from getting stale. The top guild is always pushing to consolidate everything into the smallest time frame possible. A lot of people hated it but on RoZ, Jeriance worked really well to shake things up and give the underdogs a shot.

This is 100% false
There was pvp every 3 days for trakanon and every week for other dragons..

Once Jeriance was added the competition stopped contesting unless it was right in their primetime window because they knew they could just pray for RNG jeriance the next week..

You can check RoZ discord History and see how much less Yellow text happened after jeriance was added and how the server started slowly dying after that ..

yes lots of trolls said it was the best thing ever because they didn't have to contest anymore

Wrong

There was 800-1k population the first month of red99

People asked for Yellow text and XP increase w/ server wide ooc to help find groups.. Rogean said they would NEVER add any of the following

2 weeks later the pop goes down to 500
a month later its stays at 300ish for a bit
Holocaust gets banned
Server population around 50-100
Kunark comes out
Nihilum is the only guild raiding with 20-30 players on the server

Half way into kunark he decided to finally add yellow text / xp bonus / serverwide ooc and population picked back up

I think those guys were able to do way more because of Jeriance and stuck around somewhat at all because of it. Jeriance coincided with your team effectively winning and beginning to dominate the box. Jeriance clearly made it tougher for the top guild to put a stranglehold on the server, and easier for the underdog to have a shot. I can understand why you didn't like it.

he was making a living by RMTing and people like elderan paying for his expenses

the guy just wants to play everquest and do nothing else

Keep the GM involvement clean, remove YT/custom crap, add item loot so people will likely want less guild members and more PVP targets or give people outside the raid guilds something good to do

Resists and hitbox turned out amazing, classic is the way

[coolget]

the only thing that a GM should be doing is banning hackers and people using exploits to crash zones/servers
