Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

Give us one week per month. FE and TMO can still circle jerk on 3/4 on the mobs. Don't even include VP obviously.

Can't make that simpler than that.

Comments like that provide alot out motivation to work something out.

Velious and a second server (released simultaneously) is the only real way this gridlock will ever break imo.

These problems existed on live, but new content came out so the top guilds moved on and the lower tier guilds moved into the older expansion content. Classic was out for too long, and Kunark has been out for way too long.

(Not the devs fault, they do an amazing job, just is what it is).

You also have a community that has been fire-hardened with competition. The fighting for the top on this server isn't going to go away, there are just too many people with the attitude of kill it if its up.

That's also pretty close to how it was back in the day, with some servers being FFA and others having rotations (which came and went).

I really hope a rotation gets up (even if its just 1 week per 3 months), as its a real shame that small guilds can't do _anything_ but I guess that's a byproduct of the age of the game and the experience of the playerbase.

I don't think you should dwell too much on Sirken's 'create your own zerg!' post. If anything, it should be clear that the variance/FTE system is not achieving any of its goals.

At this point, anything that reduces the burden on the admin/dev team to allow them to focus more on Velious should be the focal point. A rotation (even a tiny one) is a step in the right direction for this.

Maverix,

You are a trolling fool who is not offering anything constructive to this thread. Do everybody a favor and stop posting, you pompous ass. Better yet...take the bridge.

So Trak is up, has been up for over an hour, and TMO and FE pretty much all dead and having a hard time getting bodies. WTB some small guild to kill the dragon so we can all CR!

Unfortunately, 8am means being at work and/or class for the majority of people. A small guild will never have the numbers in the morning hours of a weekday.

not BDA prime-time, and half our guild-force is red. GOGO Divinity or Taken or TMO's alt-force.

This thread has taught me two things:

One, I am so very glad the Rathe had a rotation for a majority of its lifetime. There was still a lot of drama and hate for the top guild.

Two, I guess I'm glad that I didn't join an uber guild until after Lost Dungeons of Norrath released in live. I was blissfully unaware of and unconcerned with the topic of the end game until many game-mechanic pressures had been lifted to a degree. (It seemed so, I could be way off.)

Having played here for 5 months shy of three years... a lot of the views I had about live have been refined. Some have completely changed.

I know one thing: this thread has been incredibly civil. I appreciate that much quite a bit.

Rotation idea:

Every month the cycle renews - TMO/FE would not track or engage the following targets during the following days:

1-7 Maestro (after 3-4 months, Innoruuk could be added here)
8-14 Draco (after 3-4 months, Cazic Thule could be added here)
15-21 Fay (after 3-4 months, Sev could be added here)
22-28 Tal (after 3-4 months, Gore could be added here)
29-31 TMO/FE are free to tag w/e they like

Alter it as you like. This is simple, yet spreads targets out for all lower guilds, and gives us something to constantly be tracking and compete for amongst each other.

I'd like to hear TMO/FE opinion's on a rotation like the one I just mentioned.

Not letting this die out right as an actual idea gets thrown out there.
