Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

did a GM a few pages back speak admiringly of the zerg guild approach to gaming? The single worst guild model eq -- or any other online game -- has ever sunk to?


all is now explained. The server is run by drones who dream of drone armies. Yikes.

It used to be considered shameful to have a roster that exceeded your raid force. Glad to see the GM's here keepin things gimped.

Pretty sure he said if a few of those guilds merged they could compete for the mobs. If you feel that means zerging that's your perception, or if you look at it rationally it could just mean that if you have a guild of 40 ppl and you merge with a guild of 40 ppl then it's more likely you could field 30-40 ppl to kill raid mobs when it pops. Just curious what is your raiding experience here on P99?

You know all too well that having a big roster is only one part of what's required to compete. In short, you also need to sell your soul to the pixel god [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
2nd league would be for the people not able/ready to do so heh.

Back to the topic. TMO, we waiting for your answer pals!

P.S: Cheers to all of you who sent me supporting msgs in game yesterday btw ^^

How do they compete for the mobs? They have to poopsock and 24/7 track/batphone
Which requires stupidly large guilds with enough able to log in at a moments notice.

Now there are other alternatives to that, but unfortunately they require server cooperation. Something to which this thread pertains - and the answer from the GM is not exactly in the spirit of that is it. It was a terrible reply whichever way you look at it, not to mention uninspiringly unoriginal.

people still talking about poopsocking aren't in touch with the current raid scene. Daimadoshi my only question for you is were you championing this when you were in IB and they had the server content on lockdown?

If you've been around and close to me since I started playing on p99, you would know the answer.
Let's say I wasn't advocating IB's policy, even after the merge. Got almost booted for that few times [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (You would be hard pressed to find any occurence of me killing a poopsocked target. Because it never happened). But I also knew that I couldn't do anything to prevent it. Hyper competition is/was backed up by the staff, and clearly stated they wouldn't do anything to change it. There are some players who don't mind going full hardcore. Do the math. It's left to players to come up with solutions.

Today, I believe there is an opportunity with TMO & FE, and I'm just trying to get a reasonable request through. It's now in the hands of TMO to shake a hand on this, and help this server becoming a better place (while leaving an overwhelming ratio of the content available for hyper competition). Which I've come to accept. I don't agree with it, but that's because my classic experience differs from others, due to the server's nature I played on.

Fair enough was an honest question. Didn't see these types of threads back in the day sponsored by IB is all.

well sure. The current added variance has shaken things up bit, but you know full well it existed and would exist again if that was removed. way to miss the point tho, a+

You're really going to roll with this?

How about not focusing on the "poopsock" part and go with the 24/7 batphone part. Then see where we end up ok? GO!
