Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

i know a lot of you didnt like my post, but i was trying to be realistic based on what i've seen come from similar threads in the past.

a lot of you have common goals, common interests, and most of all, a common enemy. so, maybe it's time to do something about it

Sorry I'm not giving this up yet. FE answered me already, TMO remains silent though. Shows some lack of respect but, I guess they need some time. However a simple "it's under discussion" or something like this from them would be a good start.

And Sirken, what you're proposing is far from what's needed actually to compete. You make it sound like it's only a matter of numbers. It requires much more than that (see other "casual" zerging attempts made in the past and how it ended). Non classic raid scene requires non classic involvement.

We're only asking for a reasonable window where we can go back to EQ roots.

if you dont think working together is required, then i dunno what to tell you, because you're wrong. is numbers the only thing? no. you will also need some incentive for members to log in (DKP) for raids, and you will need to set up (at the very least an optional) batphone, or else just hope that you all have enough members on to down the mob, but an optional bat phone doesnt hurt. but if you don't work together, nothing good will ever happen (just like at one point TMO and DA started working together to dethrone TR/IB). and yes, even in 1999-2000 there were batphones in EQ, unless you were a tiny child. guilds had member phone numbers and times when it was not ok to call vs when it was ok to call. batphones are much more efficient nowadays for certain, but they always existed in the end game.

as far as zergs, people use to take pride in killing things with the fewest amount of people (ie: "we killed trak with 22", "well youre a gay, we killed him with 19!" ). but at the same time, i've never seen a guild be like "we only want to do trak with 22, so nobody else come to seb" thats retarded. if their members want to log in and do trak, then more power to them. especially if their competition is to preoccupied with doing things the way they want to do them, instead of the way they need to be done.

again i'll say, a lot of you have common goals, common interests, and most of all, a common enemy. so, maybe it's time to do something about it

Maybe it's time to release Velious and do the planar re-vamp...

I think everyone knows all this already but are looking for an alternative. When the lead GM comes on and states the obvious without any thinking outside the box or even lending any weight to an idea that isn't all that bad, it really doesn't help their chances.

Until tmo dissolves good luck on this

Put all raid mobs on a 15 minute timer.
Problem solved.

I've got a reasonable request. How about leave vox/naggy completely uncontested and allow people to do pickup raids for them. I am sure a lot would appreciate this nostalgia.

Not all of us stay at lvl 52, like you Sonaa :P

True. And honestly, when I joined P99 3 months ago, my original intent was to hang at lvl 52 for a month or so JUST to live thru this nostalgia again.

That decision quickly reversed as I grew to know this server more lol

I just like giving Evelinn shit.

ya I understand some guilds don't want to go after them, but they are much easier than tal/gor and net you pretty much the same loot.
