You have a very realistic chance now. Be a very exceptional bard and App to TMO, or join one of the other guilds and get FTE, OR save up some cash I am sure we have some guts for sale.

Sure, when you guys drop the guts below 100k, I'll be ready and waiting.

This......

They monopolize the content so that you are forced to either join their borg collective or pay them for your stuff.

People with weak willpower join their ranks instead of fighting the good fight because it is the path of least resistance.

No, they will still deny you a free chance at epic so that they can continue to sell them.

Velious changes the bard epic. Trakanon becomes a triggered pop via "an undead bard" so you can spawn him on turn-in for the item you need.

Pony dude, you've been on this server what, two weeks? Three at most? You have some mighty strong opinions about situations and people I'm willing to bet you haven't had a single second of actual first hand experience with. But, who am I kidding, that's par for the course around here, spend 10 minutes on the P99 boards and you're a fucking guild historian. Metallikus might be a lot of choice words I'd like to pick out, but at least I can't say he wasn't actually there for some of it to develop his own, imo warped, perspective of things.

Sounds like TMO members need to get a job.

What makes you assume TMO members are without jobs?

TMO has international membership including all parts of Europe, Asia, Middle East, Australia, and all parts of the US. This is one of their strongest aspects allowing 24/7 raiding. People are available at all hours of the day.

TMO has successful professionals that have flexible schedules allowing them to raid as they want.

TMO has numerous law enforcement/public safety officers that have shifts further allowing a sufficient raid force during non-peak US hours.

TMO has quite a few students with varied schedules again allowing for raids at non-peak hours.

EQ isn't limited to a desktop at home on dialup/cable modem like it was back in 1999, laptops and flash drives have come a long way and the proliferation of 3G/4G wireless broadband means you can play pretty much anywhere, anytime.

Stop posting TMO secrets.

Also, thank you Anthrax for being the first person to push this thread toward RnF. People should always be able to count on you to go crazy when you see the letters T, M and O together.

This is a great idea, and easy to do. It's easy because we (each top guild) pretty much do everything required anyway. Monsters being on any extended timers doesn't mean it's harder, here's the solution:

Guild A regulates the rotation by simply having guilds apply for rights. The guild A rotation operator invests into the Twitter Batphones of each applied guilds. These guilds that apply do their own tracking (done already), and once the monster pops, they Batphone for help, and the rotation coordinator knows that they have the monster.

Rotation is in fact just a way to say "Hey, Guild Name X, we respect your Guild Name and want you to travel up the timeline of monsters with us."

If you just joined TMO, it would be the same thing as rotation, there will always be the same number (ish) of people trying to get items and have fun. The only difference is the guild name.

TL;DR

Rotation is a nice way of combining two or more guilds who don't want to merge, because in reality you could just join the top raiding guild and have the same chances of getting loot.

I agree with rotation because there will never be a point where everyone will join just one guild.
