raiding seems heavily over-camped, was live like that? - Page 2

Can't wait to participate in some horribly long pick-up raids like there used to be!

On ECI we had the Public system as well, lead by Ashorty a gnome enchanter. Everyone joined the channel /ashorty and when raids were called hundreds of people mobilized together and quick.

Several of the top guilds ended up forming the Alliance. Which tried to fight ashorty and didn't work out the best as the Alliance wouldn't let you raid with ashorty. But other guilds would let you raid with him when they weren't raiding so you could get double the loots or gear up alts quickly having twice as many raids to go to.

Come PoP there was what was known as "The Core" which was the main raid for flags, and that group would kill the targets and be stacked with DPS. Which allowed ashorty to drop people in and out of the raid to hand out or deny flags for the later planes. You got gear based off of attendance % and dkp. The system worked VERY well.

Wow. This would be a different experience than I had on Erollisi Marr.

Cool to see what per-server differences there really were.

Damn right. I remember seeing Da'Kor, Midnight Sojorn, Magister, Afflication, Midnight Fury, and Divinity going at it for multiple expansions. I still remember nights of LGUK being unplayable due to train wars between guilds.

Aah... E Marr.

I remember the races on Fennin Ro even to get to bosses after server reset. Huge amount of competition even before Kunark.

I also remember train wars in SolA and Guk all night. Wasn't ever as bad as I heard on other servers, but for a "family server" it was pretty brutal at times.

Emarr wasnt that bad, Magister and DG were usually pretty cool about letting smaller guilds have a shot at content once they had done it a few times, hell we even had magister monks come to help us pull our first shot at NToV =D They did fight with MF alot, but that was mostly to keep MF from cockblocking everyone below them, imho. =)

Guess we were lucky on Tunare. We had a friendly community and guilds didnt really part off and kill stuff by themselves until Velious.

People actually came together and killed stuff instead of trying to be "THE" top guild.

This. I have loads of screenshots of raids. Every raid for a period was completely open. You would have 10, 20 guilds , represented, more sometimes. Non guilded. When we needed something killed, calls went out and we gathered people. But when the server split came, things started to change. I went to drinal, and guilds from mith marr came, to escape from MM and afterlife, and well.. I was glad to have at least experienced the early days on Tunare.

Here are some pics from out first Dojorn kill raid.. you can make out a number of guilds and unguilded even from the small photos.
