Were there cultural differences between servers on live?

Auction zones during classic: Gfay, ECT, NFP.
Group loot rules: NBG, random, alpha plat items, cleric get and splits at end of night.
Randoming variations: 1 -1000, 0-1000, 0-100, 1-100.
Raid etiquette: rotations, FFA, fcfs, train wars, first in zone, actually clearing to cazic and Inny before engaging.


Camp names and boundaries.

A-lot of this, Tunare was also First in force for raid etiquette. I also remember alot of 0 - 1000 randoms.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

NFP seems like a weird spot to do trading, considering some people are KOS.

E'ci was EC. Another server I played on (Cazic?) was GFay. I think overall EC is the best spot for it.

Tunare was Gfay, many others were EC. Of course Tunare had a EC scene but the GFAY scene was where it was at. 200+ at a time was common.

Tunare also had a Public raiding and lots of alliances. I personally was in Justice League of Norrath as my first guild. We did a-lot of alliances in the Classic/Kunark frame. I used to lead Public Hate raids myself.

When Velious came out PoG raids were ran public on forums for a long time.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Tunare also had a large Asian community specifically Hong Kong (HK) and the guild STARS. They were the most notorious for using Zerg tactics in Velious to down Kael mobs, getting some server firsts over Talisman (who had Game Firsts of their own).

I played on Tunare as well, and was also in JLN from rather early on til I quit in 2005. Not seen many JLN people on server. I played Elari, same char I play here.

Rallos Zek had a pretty tight night group in Peace of Formosa that were from somewhere that didnt speak english very well.. they also brutally kicked the shit out of people for a good while too pre velious.

Luclin had maybe 1% of the server drama that occurs here. People were much friendlier overall.

I have seen you post on here and recognized you from JLN, as you have mentioned this on forums before. Ganelron (sp?) is the one who recruited me and that I looked up to. I remember you and others from Tunare, I wish I could find players such as, Knek, Abani, Gweni (SP?, dwarf female so long ago!), Celeste and her husband, Richard and Michail. There are plenty others but these are the names that come to mind first.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P.S. Played Barbarian Shaman Tumamor, and Iksar Monk Chakrasusis.

Thought of another one: Karnors train left or train right!

Prexus was train left, wait right. Took a few days to get used to here when kunark came out.

[Doil_Boil]

Prexus was on a server-wide rotation for quite a while.

I consider that an important (and preferrable) cultural difference.

solusek ro- gfy for Market, massive euro population . for most kunark , velious 2 big raid guilds. random was actualy 0 1000.

AB: pure madness- several high end raids and even a small ammount of american canadian population playing due to time zone.

SH: GM enforced rotation , Enough drama to build a bridge usa europa, very friendly to quiet leveling people , high population of zeker players looking to buy gear , or level before heading back to zek servers.

Druzzil ro: mixed feelings but in general a shit place due to awfull population racism and xenophobia.

I remember everyone being packed into the courtyard with the bank in it. If I wasn't looking at the ground in first-person when I came around the corner I had a good chance of lagging out or crashing entirely! You had to meet KoS people at the sewer entrances.
