Guild Leader?

[Stasis01]

The real question should be if everyone's on the same team.

Does everyone win, or does everyone lose.

first of all playing this emu already means you are losing. quitting is winning.

now that that is out of the way, whats the point of all those pixels if its just you and a bunch of nerds inspecting each other in vp? shits more blue than blue. if you goto nilly forums youll see new player after new player bounce on the nilly dick at level one. people are looking for the path of least resistance which reflects how most players are now. dont want to work for anything. i blame wow.

Basically have to be the biggest nerd on the box.

Tune/Nizzar definitely take it, sorry to say.

Lite gave a good effort - but having momentum of #1 spot sry Lite even 24/7 you won't change this shit box of little bitches.

Stasis has no clue what it takes be a great guild leader because he doesn't understand server or guild dynamics.

sadly red isnt attracting pvpers. its attracting faggots like elderan who join the winning side right out the gate. people like elderan, destin, ect ect dont know anything about leadership. they are followers. they simply follow who is winning. had roles been reversed and azrael was winning, i am 100% sure they would have apped them instead.

as leader of the only guild thats been here since day 1, im pretty sure all it takes is looking good and stayin positive [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] in that order

In most MMO's, you progress via raid content in a linear fashion. You need Big_Dragon01's loot, and a lot of it, in order to defeat Big_Dragon02 [with some skill allowing to make up part of the gear gap.] In EQ, until Planes of Power, and potentially even a bit later, there was realistically no gear checks, partly because there's no raid limit. Any "gear" check can be circumvented by just bringing more people. This means that the vast majority of loot in EverQuest is pretty much meaningless to overall success. People keep talking about this game like it's a lot more complicated and prestigious than it is. One heroic WoW raid is more difficult than all of the Velious and Kunark content combined. I wouldn't trust 98% of this server to be in my 10 man WoW heroic guild when I was going WoW hard [finally burned out after doing the last raid content before expac.]

Because the box is so small it actually makes it harder as a guild leader for many reasons.

i agree, everquest raiding is a zerg fest. the advantage to that is huge pvp battles however for whatever reason its a rare occasion here. everquest leveling is the most mind numbing thing ive ever forced myself to experience. its saving grace is the charm of the world. each race having a city, lots of dungeons, ect. eq is a very slow paced game compared to most mmos. i dont think anyone is claiming there is strategy or high skill involved.

I know the dynamics of your role is to show up and press auto attack when told, that's a pretty awesome position you have and I am very jealous of it.

J/K there's no way I'd continue doing that - been there, sucks.

The hardcore playtime and addiction is why Nihi is on top, and it attracts that type of player in others.

Every server has had a top guild, Nihi isn't something special - PDM was the same on TZ.

I just can't imagine people doing this on a 100 pop EMU without burning out or really taking a hard look at their life, but different strokes Elderan.

There's no skill to being a guild leader on red99. There's a finite number of players, and everyone knows if they want loot they only have one option. People know that the key to getting loot is having as many people together in the same guild as possible. Nizzar's skill is as a raid leader. When it comes to "guild" leading, there's basically no membership say, no charter, no true app voting process, no guild bank accountability, etc. But people put up with it all because that's where you get loot. It's a monopoly, you don't like your comcast cable? Well get fucked then cuz we're the only show in town. Oh, you want to make your own cable company? Cool, good luck with that because we hold all the cable line permits etc., and will blackmail the government to prevent you from competing. You can't boycott gas stations if you want to drive, and you can't boycott Nihilum if you want loot.
