It is reasons like this that there is such a lash back on variance. It will destroy what some people enjoy so much about our server, but for the greater good of the server health it needs to be done.

I understand there are going to be players that want to play casually and get the best gear in game with a couple hours of work a week. If you are a pure PvE player that doesn't want to compete it is the perfect environment. Creating a social environment with competition, reputation and dynamic end game isn't the focus of everyone. Some people get caught up in nice items and just want to see their character with the shiniest of pixels. It isn't what Everquest was supposed to be but they don't have time to experience Everquest in a legit way so they rely on a crutch. The thought of playing without that crutch can be scary for players like Gream or Retti. They have leaned on the hard work of a couple in their guild and the server rules favoring zergs for so long now, and they do not want to be reliable for putting in as much effort as others to get their pixels.

Elderman is another example of a player that said if he is put on an even playing field with other players and has to compete for content he will quit the game. He wants all end game to be wound up in 3 hours a week. Being treated with entitlements breads laziness and often makes a person very defensive, and even offensive, when their toxic lifestyle is threatened. They are like a cornered dog snarling, ready to bite, to save their easy pixels at the cost of this games last resort for a legit PvP server.

It is a shame everyone can't have what they want but as a developer and fan of Everquest it is a no-brainer to cater to those that want competition and enjoy the spirit of what Everquest PvP was meant to be.

Where did I state that I want to fuck Nihilum over? I like most of Nihilum on a personal level, this is purely from a project point of view.

And like blue - I do expect you to get most raid mobs Nizz, I just wish people would have a chance to compete - hope is a powerful thing, and a few successful raid targets and people may just have fun playing here.

If you are coming from blue and you have a decent reputation, or played with me in the past, you have a decent chance of getting a pixel package and powerlevel.

whats your point stasis? I know thats something you cant comprehend, you only think about yourself.

That was Tyrionn aka Knuckle who lost to Nizz with a shield on, although I probably would have too - boulders are powerful !

If you think I'm bitter that a barbarian beat me 1v1 without jboots and boulders enabled - look at all the top notch rogues who lost. Salem, Croup(Tarwine), Johnny who was played by Thrilla? Knuckle etc etc, the advantage was just too big - and I'm good with it.

I received a lot of msgs laughing that Nizz wouldn't even joust me and just ran away to boulderquest, that's a complement in itself for me - he straight up abused it instead of fighting because he knew I had a chance =)

My only point was with the low population, and fact that people with the mentality to be hardcore and control content can just join Nihi - the problem is the rule set is way too unbalanced for the other type of player who wants to try to compete and shake things up as the underdog

Things are too slanted for the hardcores, and it cripples population growth and player retention.

The play better argument just doesn't work here, and it would benefit the server overall with a ruleset that allows others to compete.

If I brought it up it would be an excuse, I am just replying to your insult.
