TMO used to wipe to Spiroc Lord for hours on end. It took us something like 2 months from first attempt to finally kill him. We also used to repeatidly get lost and train ourselves in SolB because players literally did not know the way to naggy.. they would get to BnB and then hang a right instead of a left and head towards Efreeti then spam /gu crying for help. People instructed them to just follow IB if they didn't know the way.

When TMO and Fusion merged everyone knew it was going to be a super zerg and most acknowledged that those players that sucked terribly and were too casual were going to get left behind. They went from 600 members to 150 active, to 120 active and so on.

By the time IB had left the server over Uthgaard/Amelinda stuff and VD had went through it's slow, agonizing demise TMO was probably down to under 100 active members and could institute an actual recruitment policy that wouldn't hamstring them and further help "trim the fat".

I'm sure today TMO has a decently tough application process and a large portion of high-end raiding talent and experience on their roster, just as IB had when they were the best show in town. Don't let them fool you though, we all know how bad they were during that time and just how they started to down targets with their multi-hundred zerg fest and GM awarded loot.

I think that's why some of them are still so bitter, and likewise why some IB are still bitter at their antics (zeelot was inventing a new one each week it seemed).

That got long, anyway the point is TMO was god-awful then, and they required a zerg of epic proportions to ever accomplish anything. That's probably why they still feel bitter about thing, they couldn't do it on their own.

It's also worth noting the TMO of July 2011 is not the TMO of April 2013.

They're completely seperate guilds, I would wager there are only 15 or so members still around from back then Zeelot, Eccezan, Alarti, Loly, Phisting/Baxter (left for Fusion, got reabsorbed), Elethia, Xasten, fountree, happyfeets, melx, portsche, stealin, quickfingers (left to join da to "spy" on mq users), darkdeath, and olidaen.

Apologies if I missed anyone, those are just people off the top of my head.

We had alot of people after the merger true.. but as soon as TR hit we were under numbers again.

Our skills weren't lacking it was our gear, we started raiding without resists, and without levels. Anyone knows how much MR matter for those world dragons.

Within a week of our forming we were out mobilizing a better geared, better practiced raid force (IB) within a couple months we were getting a majority of the Trakanon's.

IB skill set included hooping for loot. Which TMO then countered causing IB to get the item nerfed. TR and later IB/VD were running around wiht 80-90 players while TMO continued to dominate the raid scene. IB then got super butthurt and had a large percentage of their guild deleved for SEQ use. With more asshatery antics Perun (SEQ Map artist) then plooted the server first CT skin.

TMO within in months of deciding to compete on the raid scene took out a much more established, much better geared raid force.

If anyone is butthurt, its the IB/TR and anon ib/tr trolls that still continue to haunt these forums....u know.. like you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, here are some people you missed who have been with TMO since 7/2011 and who still actively play here

Ingrid, Darkmannx, Andromeda, Zenorek, Utalnayan, Twaila, Tortue, Sentenza, Sworen, Rakpartha, Phireburn, Ogben, Necrious, Montyzuma, Froovy, Flippie, Dosxx, Desmo, Dagner, Chief

This is the part of the thread where the dying guild says that TMO was not as good as "dead guild X" instead they just had numbers.

Don Getsome? (Don (honorific), a Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Filipino title, given as a mark of respect)

Or -

Don (given name), a short form of the masculine given name Donald in English, also a masculine given name in Irish

Why don't you don a dunce cap and go hang with Relapsee, Eashan, Kinsawt, and all the other wannabe-Kennedy losers somewhere else.

[Zeelot]

I love these e-peen comparisons of dead guilds. If you think you are worth anything Slapen Getsome 49shades, FE spin crew, etc.. take TMO down in velious and prove you are not just noobs who like to talk big.

If velious is released like kunark, half fixxed and tov not even close to working correctly, I have a million plat ready to throwdown to the winner of a gnomerace!

That's exactly how it's gonna be.

This is not true. While the majority did lack both levels and resist gear, many (India for example) did not even know their way around old school zones. We had no idea how to kill Spiroc Lord. We spent months attempting to pull him and the vanquishers to island 4 using monks and bards to hepl split the lord from the vanquishers. This is an example of not knowing what the fuck you're doing.

More made up dis-information. TMO were the ones who brought hooping to the raid scene. TR then began hooping every target in an attempt to get them banned. I also highly doubt TMO got the majority of Trakanon kills from July 2011 - February 2012, and I know they lost the majority of overall targets.

TMO within in months of deciding to compete on the raid scene took out a much more established, much better geared raid force.

Given what I just posted, how did TMO "take out" anything. TMO was formed in late 2010 btw, not late 2011 as people are so apt of forgetting. The entire point people were bitter is because of a 600 man zerg. TR/IB was still rolling and killing shit with 20s and 30s.

Also, here are some people you missed who have been with TMO since 7/2011 and who still actively play here

Ingrid, Darkmannx, Andromeda, Zenorek, Utalnayan, Twaila, Tortue, Sentenza, Sworen, Rakpartha, Phireburn, Ogben, Necrious, Montyzuma, Froovy, Flippie, Dosxx, Desmo, Dagner, Chief

Only like 3 of those people were in TMO before the merger. Those are the people I was ignoring.

I agree the e-peening is a bit ridiculous. That's the only reason I posted. Are you disputing we (early 2011 TMO) had terrible players getting lost on their way to naggy lair or that we (again , early 2011 TMO) had terrible strategies that involved trying to split Spiroc Lord vanquishers off and pull to island 4 for a month.

Contary to what you think, guilds dont "take down" other guilds lol. You're playing on a PVE server.. the only things guilds take down is NPCs.

The notion is quite funny though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Since my name seems to have been brought up again,

I know the people with thousands of post will look at this as an excuse. But the truth is they just want to drag ex-IB into this argument, because TMO needs someone to feel like they've lost or they can't validate their time spent 'winning.'

But what we have here is a failure to communicate. TMO defines winning as being the second guild to kill content, but to kill it for years and years and years on end. I guess it's their way of compensating being 2nd.

I guess IB defined winning as getting our names/guild beside just about every server first, putting some real money in our pocket, and then...moving on.

Either way, true story, Trakanon died for the first time on this server more than 24 months ago. The world dragons, 22 months. VP ~ 18. My guild, my name, and my friends are tied to all of those instances more than TMO's ever will be, and you've been logging in, every day for the past 547+ days to try and take that away.

Also, still an open invite to you QF if you want to grab drinks or a meal in NYC, I think you have my number. We'll make Trax buy.
