Then when socking turned into a /rand for the chance to engage first it was suddenly overruled when TMO lost the first handful of rolls..

The /random at a certain point in the window thing was Sirken's suggestion that everyone agreed to try out for a week. It was dumb as hell, but it's not like it was prematurely abandoned simply because BDA showed up for some freebies.

10-13 years later and 32khp dragons are more valued than they were all those years ago. If you want to fight tooth and nail for them, Stealin, be my guest. Personally, I think you've put in too much effort for a *game*, but its your free time to do with as you please. Considering how much opposition TMO has in the raid scene, its pretty obvious 95% of the server also feels "the raid scene is that bad". Stealin, by your argument that no one else deserves anything in a 12 year old elf simulator because "we haven't put in the effort," you are articulating quite clearly why this server's raid scene is so bad. Blue99's raid scene is a race to the bottom.

Agreements can be made on this server and players can be reasonable human beings, it just doesn't happen often.

"dominate"

Look, the raidscene is a contest of who has gathered the largest amount of people with the most spare time, shortest distance to their keyboards, and the tenacity to repeat the exact same thing for months without getting bored of it. Boasting about your dominance on a non-pvp MMORPG is about as impressive as bragging about beating Minesweeper 40 times every day.

It takes 20x the effort here to try and do high end raiding compared to live.

Think about why this is for a minute, especially with such a long Kunark

# of lvl 60 players is a bit top heavy wouldn't you say

there was alot of nice people in VD, before IB tangled with vd and used them because it was a use of their numbers and a few of their elite players.


VD was the perfect guild for people hittin lvl 50, lots of guild groups in early kunark and almost 2 days raid to fear and hate.

even i remember before ib they took down sisters and and bee boss or that is what kmorrax and others told me.


VD then become the target of IB to boost their every time smaller numbers and to regain his status as number 1.
at first worked but, as always noobs+elitist dont work well. and then tmo win the upperhand again.


once ib rmt and left server VD tried to stand by himself instead to make peace with tmo and go back his old and imo better path and use the learns of the time they fougth tmo to make them even better.



they tried then to figth for number 1 and well it didint worked very well.

infact even if Vd was the most members banned after the first ban fest they where the prime guild to get a full set of planar armour.

and people loved it.

Exactly my thoughts. Plus we probably have a larger proportion of more hardcore players than an average live server, plus many of us have 'done it all' except for kill big raid targets so lots and lots of people want to get in on that, etc.

Problem is Minesweeper requires some skill
