Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

[fishingme]

I think the main problem is when there's 150-200 raiders in one guild, 80 in the next and so on so forth. It stops competition, barely lets new guilds start up that have their eyes on raiding. The server is more or less a low-pop server and the only guilds who can really compete are the longest standing ones. Just doesn't give new guilds much of a chance to get into the raiding scene, especially with the more casual raiders. Now TMO / whatever other guild is 2nd now may have "jobs" and "lives" but they also have upwards of 100 raiders, so you can easily drop the 30-40 people who may have real life complications out and still have an effective zerg force which is what higher end raiding has become. No skill, no fun just going into a raid with an overwhelming force and dropping the target in a few seconds. That's not competition, competition is suppose to be something hard not a cake walk.

I mean no offense to TMO, but quite frankly you all are the biggest guild of dbags here and easy to use as examples. But you're all for the most part, posers because you're all followers and not leaders. Guild splits were common in classic for more competition/change of playstyle. The dirty flame war talking is getting a bit old, show your shit and split into more than one guild and find out how good you really are.

Funny how peoples judges so easily TMO players without even know them!

QQ will change nothing.. If you want to kill something move your fat ass..

"I don't have full VP loot so its not classic or fun"

You people are WoW generationeers and pixel brain washed.

I also know that you fail to realize that except for one or two guilds, DURING KUNARK that raid mobs were very similarly monopolized except on servers where they agreed to rotations. Even still, not a small of the population was wearing full planar sets for their class.

This server has been in Kunark for 2-3 times as long as the initial time line, its top heavy with characters who want to raid.

Back in Planes of Power, people were still doing their epics (hoping they'd catch the mob up too no less), finishing or just getting into plane of fear etc. If you played during this time, and were able to get Trakanon kills etc with your guild, its because the guilds like TMO were busy working on (overtuned / broken in many cases!) PoP progression/farming.

I refuse to believe, because it is literally impossible due to the lack of instancing, that in the span of people figuring out EQ from live to the end of Velious, that your server had everyone getting a chance at every raid mob.

Learn to be happy playing without a Crown of Rile. Seriously.

Edit/PS: People who play 10 times as much as you have more pixels, I wonder how that works. You guys can't seem to figure it out.

I like when people say only no-lifes will get up for a 3AM batphone, then in another post complain about not getting a fair chance at lewt. Major disconnect.

Only no lifes get up at 3am for a batphone.

Just get over the pixels already, Christ.

I never ceases to amazing me that people come here, knowing full well what this server is about and then proceed to do nothing but bitch about it. There are dozens of other emu servers around that cater to what you're asking for.

And this is coming from a newer player who likely will never have a shot at joining a top end raiding guild. There is nothing more classic than a single uberguild monopolizing content.

The point I was trying to make is that, in EQ live, 2 and a half years after Kunark, it was well past POP era. By that time, there was nowhere near the dispute there is in P99 for Kunark raid targets.

I can understand people wanting the contested content experience, but those who wanted this already had that opportunity.

But that ship has sailed a long time ago, and what is happening right now, is groups of powerful players blocking others from reliving EQ experience.

Why don’t they just plant AOE casters in all newbie zones, and keep them clean to prevent everyone else from playing the game, so they can have the game and the server for themselves?

Guessing from some people’s arguments, this would also be fair game to them.

If raiding like this was all there was to EQ I would have never played that game and yes, WOW raiding beats EQ classic raiding hands down.

There were also double or triple (maybe more after they stopped posting stats) of people on one of those servers compared to here. This server really isn't that different compared to live when it comes to contested content.

Amen.

they are just blinded by hatred and maybe even of jealousy.

Like I say sometimes in French : Les chiens aboient, la caravane passe.
