Yeah, and it's the reason nothing was ever done on Karana prior to Velious. I hated it for that, you can't progress when you have an opportunity to kill trakanon once a month.

In velious, a bunch of folks from Valoran and Shadowed Fates decided they had enough of the Karana council of guilds (KGC) and stepped up their game. They formed Nightbane. The rest is history.

After that, the KGC never really applied to anything that wasn't already trivial. Don't get me wrong though, I loved my years on Karana, but Velious is when the server really took off.


Btw, the KGC was player enforced.

Thats when the server population had what 1500? Were looking at 400-700 here tops. It wont be one month kills I'll tell you that much.

VP and Trak was already on a 2/3 way rotation and most were perfectly content that way. It will be the same but applied to the rest of the targets.

Dear Deano:

Hi.

Love,

Aerah.

PS - 50+ week VS rotations blew. Karana sucked after Eternal Wrath left until Nightbane formed from the cream of SF/Valoran/Paralax.

This is another reminder to me why I am happy not to be anywhere near endgame.

Here's the thing... You either have enough content or you don't. Instancing solves a problem only if there's not enough content for the population. I actually mention this in my "Raiding" signature link.

To me it has looked for a long time like there's not enough endgame content for raiders. This "competition" is just a sign that there's not enough out there for everyone. It's not healthy, imho. It causes tension.

My honest opinion is that classic, for the most part, is a levellers game.

Rotations worked on Karana as long as guilds abided by them. When rogue guilds such as Shattering Steel and later Nightbane decided to defy the rotations is when the server started descending into chaos. The douchebag quotient (to borrow a term from a friend) is so high on P99 that a rotation like we had would never last.

Rotations only work while the guilds that have the most power abide by them....which could change at any moment.

I'm more for the idea of spawning all equal time named at the same time...ALL 3 day spawns spawn at the same time...ALL 7 days, ALL 9 days etc.... Give it variance as well, just ensure they all spawn together, and then let the race begin....

Solution is this:

Any asshattery, tom foolery, smacking, cracking, training, stealing, ninjaring, campstealin, cockblocking, fannyblocking (<= had to add that for equality reasons), taunting (other than by tanks) etc etc etc is allowed, cause this is a classic server and that's all quite honest, classic as.

We had a rotation on Rathe/Zebuxoruk during the classic days and up to Velious I think. It worked pretty well. Guilds, for the most part, got along, and it was fun to play and cooperate with others that had a different guild tag than you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
