Asking a favor from the two top guilds on the server

[Fountree]

FTE and 1 minute kills won't be as a big of an issue in Velious with 300khp+ mobs remember. And you need to contact our leadership for an answer to that I didn't come here to talk publicly on these boards about specifics, just to speak on Kagatob's post.

I would like to offer divnity an opportunity here to show up at the next trakanon and compete. BDA, Taken, etc are invited also.

If we wanted to compete the way you do, we would have certainly joined either TMO or FE.

My suggestion would be to spend a couple hours doing juggs during Trakanon's early window in prime time (his window is common knowledge on p1999) with your raid force. If Trakanon spawns you will have a clean shot before TMO/FE unless you completely drop the ball

You're suggesting a guild to keep clearing close to a raid target (a.k.a poop socking) for few hours randomly, in hope the target pops and doesn't actually aggro and wipe the said guild? And that's if the top guilds don't decide to join the poop sock session, just in case? (We know they would do it, as proven in the past). No, we really need a 2nd league short window where we can compete reasonably.

I did contact your leaders. But I haven't heard from them. At all.

Yeah, they'll be happy to let you have a shot at trak...when velious is out

If you guys actually read the thread, you will realize that nobody is asking for a handout. Second tier guilds are asking for competition among themselves. they are all willing to track and kill. They just don't want to have to track a mob, assemble within a half hour, and find that TMO already has a larger raid force there because they had an army of lvl 60 alts camped at the mob. For the hundredth time, you over-sized children, this is an EMULATED 13 year old game! Share your toys!

Better way to put my post:The people in charge believe that you should have to do what is needed at all costs to get raid targets. If you don't like that then to bad. That is really what everyone is being told here. Personally i think its to get back at people. The dev's, Gm's, guides waste their free time doing this project so everyone else should waste their free time too.

What once was started as a breath of fresh air, wonderment, and nostalgia has turned into a Costco version of EQ. Everything is bigger here; the bankrolls, the number of max lvl toons one owns and the egos. It will b hard to reverse Costco the server bc lets face it Costco is a successful business bc it puts in alot of effort. Some people have been here over 3 years, and possibly now they r getting a taste of that insatiable appettite of "winning EQ", which is something not easily given up once obtained. Sadly Velious should open up Kunark table scraps for others but whats the point of that?

If the raid scene had one more poopsocking intense guild then 3 would b a crowd for both FE n TMO so that eventually something would get changed but with such big rosters those guilds have its hard to create this 3rd guild as most would rather wait in thier soup lines in the zerg. Both sides make valid points, one hand the big guys invite others to try to compete w them while the small guys just view it as a waste of time.

Rotations work, there is no refuting this, the problem is who decides who is in this rotation and how do prove you are worthy of rotating X mob. No easy solution here but if u have enjoyed playing here for even one week id say the goal of the Project has been met, the rest is up to the community how Norrath should b as keeping the spirit of EQ should b a big part of this game. Hopefully there will contine to b more posts like my first link than the second.

P99 as we know it will never really be like the classic you remember. Back then there was 12(?) servers of varying density in the raid scene - people could switch servers to find a place that suited their style of play. Here we have a single PvE server. The timeline has been drawn out painfully long, and that alone has already made this place different enough to not even fully try to salvage it. Wait for the next iteration of P99, hopefully a classic eq progression server with less bugs, exploits, cheats, and a proper timeline. Sitting here trying to turn this place into something it already isn't and never will be is stupid.

And yet, if TMO accepts to share a small part of their overfarmed raid targets with the rest of the server, it would become possible. I wouldn't call that stupid. FE already agreed to this to some extent. I don't see why your guild which had free reigns for more than a year on said targets couldn't do the same.

People like Jeremy continue to hurt this server with their shitty attitudes. Either a) offer a constructive suggestion or b) stfu. Glad to see that you are so unwilling change a thing when 90% of the server is so dissatisfied with end game content. Seriously bro, act your age.
