How do we get players to return to Project1999?

[sedrie.bellamie]

TMO kills "lesser" raid targets for one item? I do not think so. Every dragon has a chance to drop dragon scales: needed for warrior/bard epic. Yes Masetro drops the hand for the warrior epic and that is all TMO really needs: and yes there are plenty of Mains in TMO with out lightsabers.

Just b/c TMO has 100 people doesn't mean that the right classes always come online for a raid. Everyone wants their epic and TMO is trying to do that for everyone of their members. What is TMO suppose to do? Tell all the mains without their epics that TMO has to wait until all the casuals get theirs? Sorry half of TMO necros and warriors you have to wait until the casuals get theirs.

There is a reason you guys are called casual. It takes dedication to get to VP, to kill a mob like Gore, and to do things like break fear and hate. If these things were so easy all the casuals would do them. But it takes 25+ people and smart leadership.

People in this thread think it is as easy as getting 30+ people to show up. Make sure those 30 have MR over 250, make sure you have clerics/chanters each with bag loads of 'dots. Make sure your puller and Main Assist know their jobs.

Raiding is not like getting a pick up group in KC or seb. You need people who won't AFK for an hour, you need people who know how to play their classes and know their role in a raid. These things just dont happen over night.

You casuals got 2 weeks to figure out how to raid and not just zerg. TMO can zerg sometimes b/c 80+ log on for VS. But what about those 4am ragefires or races to TD for fay? You BDA/VD/IB can complain about TMO ruining "your" server but think about the 100 people in TMO? they do not deserve to kill raid mobs b/c they have done it already?

Sorry Tom Bardy but we dont want to play football against you anymore. What cry baby stuff right there. You all say, anyone can kill a 32k dragon on p99. Then do it.

Stop asking for hand outs, stop asking for free mobs, stop asking the GMs to get involved. If you want a raid mob, get a raid and take that mob.

Got sev in a morning pop with 1 rogue and a few other dps, in day 1 or 2. Was a long fight but it was still taken care of. One night repop BDA got the majority of the raid mobs. Divinity beat BDA to the pull on fay, complete and utter grats to them. Guilds besides tmo can mobilize and get mobs with less than ideal situations. I, personally, am not saying you guys should tell anybody to "wait for the other guilds". What i am saying is that we need to not be dicks to each other. The current situation makes it pretty hard for people to not be dicks to each other. Due to the way certain implementations of spawncode were made to combat things that happened on this server a good while ago, because people were being dicks to each other.
Frankly, you have to look at the future. This thread was brought up it seems because people want to do something to up the population in this limbo we currently are working with. I even quoted and agreed with stealin!

A couple of the ideas tossed around would give you even more epic loot drop opportunities than you do right now. But it also would give other guilds opportunities as well.

Look if I was the miami dolphins. I would hate to play tom brady 2 times a year. But i would still go out, get 400 yards dropped on me with 5 touchdowns, but if i can snag an interception and run it back for the TD every once in awhile, maybe we could get a win out of it. It keeps you in the game. But if tom brady has a mic in his helmet stealing the defensive signals, after he could already beat us with his talent. Well that's just not competition. That's being a dick.

And then the giants beat them in the superbowl.

I don't even know what this conversation is about anymore, but I wanted to point out how hilariously out of touch you are with the raid scene and the casual guilds that play on it. Firstly, what world do you live in where it takes 25+ people to break fear or hate, or where casual guilds even have a problem doing this? Do you think the reason casuals aren't getting CT on a regular basis is because they don't know how to break Fear? We've been there, we've done that, we've killed every non-VP mob on this server except Gore and Trak at some point. Our pullers and main assists know how to do their jobs. Our clerics and enchanters all have copious amounts of peridots. We don't have members who go AFK for an hour, and everyone knows their role. No one is asking for handouts or free mobs. We just want the raid scene to demand approximately the same amount of time investment that would have been demanded in classic, where casual raid guilds got mobs all the time. If you think the top guilds monopolize content on this server because they're just so much more skilled, or that casual guilds do poorly because they suck at the game, then you're delusional.

Don't worry, they'll come back, or we'll get new ones. The best thing to do is spread the word.

I have a toon in the guild Full Circle. I am not pushing them but they are very active and have groups going on a lot. Not really high end ones mind you.

But I think if you are mid level or lower they may make your day on here.

Nilbog, can you elaborate on the proposed raid rules so a general consensus can be received back from the playerbase affected ?

Thanks in advance.
