None of the other guilds bother putting up with the bullshit of trying to compete. The risk vs. reward just doesn't exist. Its actually nice right now to have TMO off in their own little world while the rest of us get to enjoy the game.

But I still have goals in this game and a server wipe would be counter-productive to those goals. Also, the server wipe would just replace our current "overlords" with new ones.

Longevity is the best thing for this server. EQMac has been locked in its state for years, and is a stable place that the people who play on it enjoy and they get along with each other. If the server was wiped all the time, you'd just have the hardcore players "beating" it over and over with every wipe. Without resets, the only people who still play enjoy it and have stuck through the years are the ones who play more to enjoy than conquer and the community has developed a mature atmosphere. On the other hand, you have the VZ/TZ PVP community, which has their PVP box wiped every couple months, maybe lasting a year. These guys go from one box to the next beating on each other for rights to claim "I am the best player on VZTZ_server_05". Personally, I'd take EQMac's community over the VZTZ community any day.

Your reasons for wanting a wipe: to remove the billions plat, to give bored players something to do, and to give everyone a clean slate for chances at top dog all cater to the "winners", and not the people who enjoy the journey. The billions of plat doesn't matter for players that enjoy the accomplishment of camping their own gear instead of buying it. The bored players wouldn't be bored if they enjoyed the journey instead of rushing to end-game, or if they enjoyed learning the meta-game for additional classes. And becoming top dog doesn't matter to people who just want to slay dragons, not train/grief/leapfrog/otherwise harass their competition for the same dragon. If you want to convince me of wiping the server and starting fresh, convince me its for my benefit. Until then, I'll take all the time I want to get my gear, kill my dragons, and I'll enjoy every small step along the journey.

^ I agree, I am very biased toward the min/maxer player type I absolutely am. I either am the best or close to the best or I really don't bother in many facets of my life.

I think you're right, that a wipe would really serve no benefit to the journeyman type player.

Azeth talks of a wipe, and while I know it's not going to happen at this point, it is something that should happen in the future. When we've played Velious out, they should wipe it and take their years of fine tuning, custom scripting, and general lessons learned and do it again but bigger and better. We'll celebrate EQs 15th birthday with a Project 1999 2.0

I'm looking forward to epicemu - looks promising to solving the errors of raiding that exists on this server.

That's the one that is going to open with Classic - Velious but have legacy items dropping correct? The 'not really Classic but tagged that way' alternative to p99?

Yeah. P1999 isn't really classic but is tagged that way too.

If you actually talk to the eqmac community you would find a lot of them are batshit crazy

I think there's plenty of parody.

Where's the parody? TMO has taken to gifting PUG raids a dragon a week.

Just a little joke that maybe nobody got. Parity is things being equal, Parody is people making fun of something. I thought it was appropriate, given the thread.
