Make another blue server already. Keep a classic timeline and then when velious is released allow transfers from current server. They can rotate there if they want.

Classic timeline blows. It's the reason most content wasn't farmed until 1-2 expansions later. NTOV's glory days for most people were beginning and middle of Luclin. It was even raided in PoP by most guilds. And most people weren't even 60 when Velious launched, which is why a lot of top end guilds had nearly free reign on the top raid zones. If P99 server was classic timeline we'd be in Depths of Darkhollow expansion right now and the server would be beaten and dead 2-3 years ago before it ever reached it's population peak.

Should do 2 years per expansion, first year is no rotations, 2nd year is Class C/R/FFA rotations. Rinse repeat for each expansion till the end of PoP then start over again if there is still an audience.

I think it's because standing at the line for potentially 16 hours straight is not most people idea of fun.

Truth. Kerb made it about 15 mins on the line and said

" Turns out this isn't for me" and gated

Really the only ones left out are the 10% of vocal casual whiners. Everyone else just play the game and level up or join A/A or CSG if they want. It's not 90% who are complaining. All the whining casuals on the boards here are a gross misrepresentation of actual casuals who just play and fun. All the people on this board pretending to be casual and whining are just failed neckbeards ^^

That was how little the staff wanted to be involved in the raid scene in the beginning.

CSR on this server should be forced to participate in their own rules if they want to implement them.

Let's see how long these rules last then.

There is no way Sirken would do a hundredth of the shit he forces everyone else here to do for mobs.

Sirken forms up a GM guild, goes on to FTE 100% of mobs for the next 6 months.

He don't force anyone to do anything and that is his point. Everyone chooses to track stuff and hanging out at the door in tov. That is his point about socking and why they won't change variance, because people are still hangin' out for the duration of a spawn window waitin' for it to spawn. If you don't want to do it, join a guild with people who do it so you don't have to. It super simple ^^

My point is that you and the rest of A/A are severely underestimating the number of raid entities on p99. If they don't even come near your bubble it's like they don't exist to you.

With the AW / AM suspension agreement, there were a few casual, but capable guilds involved. Those who were left out were added as they found out more. When AM was back for the next AW suspension agreement, their were less large targets to go around and less smaller targets to give out. AM also wanted targets to stay specifically for Racing, practically knowing they'd be the only ones wasting time sitting there. They also decided to move on mobs they assumed some guilds wouldn't down at the tail end and They couldn't stand the thought of Awakened getting them. On this past AW suspension, while some other people were considering including Kittens, Divinity, Infernus, Paradigm Shift, Veloci Shift etc more. AM basically outlined that they wanted nearly all the prime targets and left minimal targets that were the lowest tier possible. Targets that would have gone to the appropriate guilds.

If that's not spot on with your post, idk what is. People have it a bit backwards. It's not that the newer or casual guilds are whiners or entitled. Some of us are just trying to be agreeBle so that no one has to waste their time and nerd out in max effort mode all the time. It shouldn't be that hard to understand

It's a PvP server which is fundamentally different from a PvE server in a multitude of ways. The fact that it's underpopulated doesn't suddenly make it a viable alternative to a crowded PvE server. Most of us play on blue because EQ PvP isn't our cup of tea. No amount of free dragons will change that.

No but moving A/A and their competitive nature to Red makes every ounce of sense in the world. Many A/A members want to return to the days of instant engages and pulling with batphones ringing as they did in years past. One of the biggest complaints from the competitive side is the lack of excitement and chance to prove yourself with skill.

Can you imagine trying to do Vulak or Vyemm with such speed that your opponent cannot even form their raid as the other guild controls an enemy train and attempts to battle you mid fight? I'm sure the competition of Red would being a whole new element of fun to the playstyle that A/A long for.

I've even heard many members and leaders in the hardcore scene say that if mass transfer were an option they would do it.

"Everyone chooses to stand at the tov door". I'm pretty that's the exact opposite of the truth. Most people actually don't want to sit in one spot for 16 hours and call that competing, that's the point trying to be made in the majority of these threads that pop up. If they want people to compete for these mobs they should get rid of the variance all together, let a specific number of people per guild line up and race for the FTE and not worry about socking whatsoever.
