This forum needs it's own Retard Rickshaw, in a bad, bad way. GMs make rules, if you don't like it, send /feedback, whine about it in guildchat, or stop playing. We're going to be up to our armpits in guilds and 50s here shortly. The short list of options is this: 1. ) Use donations to make a second server. Make an Inglorious server and a Transcendence server. Very diplomatic. Solves everything temporarily until another 3-4 guilds get going on being uber. The short-term nature of the solution will make this a less desirable alternative, tho. 2. ) Kill serverwide /ooc to kill most of the constant negative feedback. All /ooc is is the squeaky 5% of the population anyways. People don't /petition "Great work guys! This place is a lot of fun. I don't need anything right now, just wanted to say thanks and that your hard work is appreciated". Killing /ooc serverwide would make LFG much more of a chore, and selling items impossible, so it's not very viable. 3. ) Merge the guilds by force. I for one and rooting for this, just for my own amusement. 4. ) Get SolRo/Hate opened up ASAP. Sucks for everyone without a manastone and jboots, but hey. There's no law that says you have to yank the manastone or not have 2 options for jboots. On a server with hundreds of weekend warriors, giving ppl 2 options at jboots wouldn't be the worst thing ever, and would get level 50 necros the heck out of najena and out of the hair of level 20s camping boots and fbrs for loots. 5. ) Get the DDoS protection up as soon as possible, and just start banning people for being miserable f*cks. Gunieapig is right, a lot of you people need to take a look in the mirror and listen to how angry you sound. VZ/TZ just started back up again. If you're whole joy in EQ comes from depriving others of content and fun, jesus f*ck, GET THE HELL OVER THERE NOW. We sure as hell don't want you here. And that goes for both guilds and all the randoms who fester in /ooc all day long. 6.) Pool donations and make a second server. Send IB and Transcendence to the second server and leave them to their own devices so everyone else is free of the lot of 'em. It's a game played for fun, relax and start having some. We're not all 19 anymore. If we really need to alter our lives and race for every spawns and contest every gm decision, then this sever isn't working out for the majority of us, and it's *not* the GMs fault. How most of you are screaming at Wenai for not wanting two guilds given the green light to grief and compete openly is completely beyond me. There is one golden rule of EMU GMing: GMs want to play, they don't wanna sit around and enforce rules and babysit a bunch of emo nerdragers who weren't hugged as children. ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILTY TO POLICE YOU. It's their option. Lord knows at this point banning the lot of you and going back to enjoying their playing time is looking more desirable with each passing day. They didn't create the server to be GMS. They created the server to play classic EQ, recreated as closely to the original as feasible. Oh that reminds me. Nilbog: Hire a bunch of us third parties as Guide/GMs. Give us like 1 paypal dollar a week, so we're "on the payroll and have to follow the company line". Let us run around all day and tell people there is nothing we can do about anything and they should play at their own risk. THAT will give these ungrateful raging cajuns the classic EQ they've long forgotten. Chill. Peace. <3's. At this point i seriously just about hate everyone. Bubs. | |||

EQ, at the high-end, never was about getting along. Top guilds routinely leapfrogged, 'sploited, lied, and did whatever they could do maintain their advantage. They had to. If they didn't, someone else who did took the lead. Such are the joys of contested content--it brings out the worst in people.
Some folks even see that as one of EQ's strengths. Not me. I'm uninterested in the EQ high-end and view it as outdated design which is best left in the dustbin of history. All that being said, I dislike the notion of a forced rotation, especially one which applies to entire zones. How can a group of people who may not even be logged on 'own' an entire zone? The folks enforcing the rotation indicate that THEY don't like it either. Perhaps it's necessary for the time being to curb other, nastier behavior. Let the nostalgia go away. This is one of EQ's fundamental flaws in action--too little content for too many people. Given that reality, no solution will make everyone happy, and most will leave everyone slightly unhappy.

Right, if you put in the effort, you can become a super bowl winning football team. The problem is no one is putting in the effort and still expecting to kill all the raid mobs and get all the loot. We kill dragons, you exploit and cry for rotation. Fear comes up in the middle of a tuesday, and we got a 20+ force on to clear the entire zone, and you cry for rotation. You're being defeated, yet still feel you should be equals.
