Not like WOW where everyone had T2 set and were all blue/brown clones of each other. Stop trying to turn this game into WoW, competition, grind, and actually earning your items instead of getting everything was what made EQ great.

Bi weekly *at least* Patch spawns and a short variance are classic? Sometimes you would get 2-3 repops a week on a blown patch.

To all those wanting a rotation with GM enforcement, I suggest WoW, not an EQclassic server. I don't recall any GM enforced rotations on live, and when rotations did exist, they were player created. Player created rotations would, obviously, be put into effect when all players agreed on it. That's not the case on P99, so basically, you all need to stop crying or go to one of the other hold-your-hand MMOs that are so prevalant nowadays. I'm all for rotations if they're in good faith, but unfortunately not everyone on the server thinks they're entitled to things by merely logging on like most of the BDA posting on this thread.

Oh, and to all the haters, TMO earned it legit. Whether it was the 67 IB/VD vs. 36 TMO on that final IB vs. TMO CT kill (followed by a choice IB ninja lewt), or roflstomping the IB re-tag in VP, or crushing almost every guild in terms of mobilization, tracking, heart, commitment, and skill in the last year, we've earned it. Sorry you're mad. And we'll be coming back strong in a few days.

If you want classic items worth, you should ask for 3 or 4 x longer respawn then, it was the main reason gear was sorta rare, peoples moved to new expac and farmed old content a lot less.

I guess the minimal raid force with minimal amount of key classes that is essentially a glorified pickup raid who have not raided together before killing raid mobs in a zone that no longer gives the ability to hide from significant area of effect damage is "screw it , here's your loot".

I guess we have to be trained by another guild for it to count as a challenge. In that case TMO has not had a challenge in months. Why don't you go up to vp after the ban and have you guys train each other all day.

Post of the month.

4x Variance engaged. One raid target a week pops! I like it.

The night with Draco another point that nobody mentioned was that after the minutes of kiting BDA was not the first to tag Draco out of the train. That issue was never really revisited and Draco probably would never have been mentioned in general if it wasn't for what happened afterwards.

All I'm saying is if things become a petition/fraps fest you won't have to go far when pointing the finger.

Once again you use terms like "lesser" guild. Which kind of befuddles me because BDA probably has more active members than TMO.

I personally tagged Draco first. Thanks.

Ambrotos was there the whole time watching.

Post some proof? Or just keep talking?

I like your ideals and would like to subscribe to your newsletter... however your tone needs more drama- please use the search function on the forum to go back about 1 to 1.5 years to the DA vs IB days and review IBs posts- they have much more interesting and verbose ways of saying "POST PROOF LULULZ" while doing shady shit- you could learn a lot from them and also maybe create new ways of doing such things- as it seems this is the road chosen....yet again.

I don't think Ambrotos was in the zone the whole time, if he was it would have been nice of him to mention something when Draco was being kited with 27 TMO and 10 BDA in the zone. I think he was there when the mob fell below the ground.

You are right though, I don't have any proof other than what I heard in vent. But you don't really have any proof either so /shrug.

Had Ambrotos been there the entire time, he would have seen your bard kiting Dracro around for 3-5 minutes before a TMO monk tagged it off him with 5 charges of a mallet, followed by a BDA member tagging it off his peel.

I really dont care to respond to the troll above you, Atmas, but I would just say that you should not use what you hear in vent to make a claim like you did. I am sure we are all guilty of it at some time or another. From your reply, it seems you atleast in principle agree.

Being there personally and being the individual to personally tag Draco and have him chase me back - I take offense to the constant use of this night as some example of BDA somehow wronging TMO. I also think it is quite sad that this is the ONLY particular example ever cited as well - a quite unsubstantiated claim at best.

Now, there is always the chance that I merely THOUGHT I had the initial tag. I have discussed this for a long time with Necrious and neither of us have really come to any other conclusion than we both thought to have FTE but could very well have been wrong. It really should be left at that unless the discussion can be moved to more concrete terms.
