While I agree with a lot of your post. This I do not agree with... strategies existed then and were executed flawlessly by top end guilds then as they are today.

I think he's referring more to the first encounters maybe? Those were kinda sloppy/lots of wipes. And it's true people didn't know what they were doing then.

However, in regards to tactics and their execution, it's kind of hard to compare Classic EQ as it was then to P99 as it is now. Considering we have 13 years of knowledge and experience and the websites/databases to back it up now that we did not have back then.

EDIT: You are right though that it probably won't work here. Because this server isn't meant to be custom.

Aye!

Gotta remember people had lower fps and dial up connections. I would like to see TMO raid with PCs from 2000 on aol with no vent haha.

I bet I could ask random people which is more pathetic:

A.) Trolling an online forum for emotional response and calling other people losers or uncool for playing a community game with friends.

or

B.) Playing a community game with friends at whatever hour you so choose.


I guarantee they would all choose A

Until you told them exactly what you meant by community game. Then they would laugh at you. Just like I am now.

Or

b) Getting up at 4am due to a text message telling you to log on to an online game to slay a dragon.

We can play this game all day though ?

I understand the idea that you believe all of TMO and IB etc were unemployed basement dwellers, and where as some truth may follow that belief, myself being both an ex TMO/IB; raided, logged in at 4 am, while working 40 hours a week and taking a full load of school at the same time. I can also list a multitude of people from both guilds that I know are employed, go to school, or even both.

The nostalgia fades for everyone. 95% of us have done this all before, but there is still the desire to farm, find and play with friends, and better your character. Fixing the raiding scene is just a matter of having another guild be willing to track mobs, and log out when you are done playing (or towards the end of a window), at that target necessary. I can then argue that if it pops at 3-4 am, don't log on so what let them have it, many guilds in Classic played that way and still got mobs (WI, Trans, Div). Not every mob spawns late, every guild does have a few European players that can track on off hours, recruit as necessary and the problems solved.

TMO controls everything because no one else even attempts to compete. Taking an hour long shift to track while you make/eat dinner doesn't make you a basement dwelling no-lifer.

I highly doubt what's in bold. I worked 40 hours a week and was going to school full time (3 classes are minimum full time here) and I barely was able to play for an hour most days I didn't even login. That was even with studying while logged in. But I suppose the benefit of being in a large guild is that no doubt some of the people if not most tend to just get carried while they afk through a raid so they can collect loot.

Time is time, you are spending time on something that in essence is practically worthless other than personal entertainment. So how can you say someone who prefers to slay dragons is less coool then someone who spends times trying to incite drama on a message board.....whose life is more pathetic? Who desperately craves attention more? That answer is obviously you.

Super cool

I've seen a good number of his and your posts. If I were you, I wouldn't be calling him pathetic without realizing you're calling yourself pathetic also.

Yes the 12 million plus people who played WoW and the growing acceptance of gaming really supports your cause.

Not that it matters people should find enjoyment in what they can unless it is to the detriment of others.

who is truly pathetic the player or the guy coming on the forums to troll a player simply because they don't play the way they would like.

Please find some logic and come back when you can manage.

I always only respond in defence of my guild or basic rational thought. Not to mention my point was if one thing was pathetic then the other thing is equally pathetic or more.

Hate to say it, TMO isn't perfect though and no doubt has been flamed a good amount for the truth of an accusation. Basic rational thought says to stay out of the whole forums and just play the game in game and avoid the entire situation. =)
