Glad there is still a server where classic eq guilds have to compete with eachother for the best loot in the game. Thanks Sirken for making things clear. If you want easy uncontested instanced loot, go play somewhere else!

It's called Red. Go play there!

I recall years ago, Sirken and Deru were campaigning hard to get people to play Red, seems to me there's an easy way to do that by making Red the only server available that has competition, because that's what this is all about, amiright?

Your post doesn't even make sense. The server is called blue and it's exactly what I want in a classic eq server. Sirken even confirmed that it's going to stay the way I love.

Kinda funny that so many former players from lower tier guilds who could never compete are constantly obsessed with the raid scene here.

A fixed speed foot race that is won simply by twitch reflexes and presence is not a competition.

There's a difference between can't and won't. Every single person with eyes, fingers and time are capable of what you erroneously label competition. Those that won't, won't because it's idiotic. There is nothing satisfying about what you call "competition" and it makes what could be an enjoyable past time, shit.

If these shitty raid mechanics were taken out, and all the "competitors" (lol) were sent to Red, and Blue was put on a (very classic) rotation, the Blue server would have 2-3k population every night (with many of the people you say can't cut it coming back) and Red would still have a population of 100 every night, because the 50 additional raiders they'd get saying they want "competition" would quit because they can't cut it there and they wouldn't have their warmbody supports, because they'd be happily rotating mobs on Blue.

Ahh yes, the ol 'THE SERVER WOULD BE 2k-3k POP EVERY NIGHT IF THE MEANIES WOULD GO AWAY!' argument! Yeah, I'm sure that's realistic.

I understand that you don't think winning FTE footraces is fun for anybody. That's fine, people like different things. You probably didn't enjoy the lack of variance. You probably didn't enjoy the 'first to 15 in zone' rules. You probably didn't enjoy when we sat on spawns points instead of having footraces. You probably didn't enjoy the coth racing. But it sounds like you'd be happy rotating mobs. Not surprised... I mean do you even realize how few pixels each guild would get with a 10 guild rotation on everything? Why aren't you just happily playing on Phinny or any of the other classic emus and ignoring this forum forever? The fact is, you are just a sore loser who can never let it go. Just like Chest. Always destined to be a scrub in a low tier guild trying to bash those on the top. Always coming back to this forum to make fun of those who enjoy different things and those willing to put in the work to be the best.

Just to be clear, I beat P99. Shroud/Abashi's/10th Ring/Monkpants and a few other random items. And I did it without poopsocking, which is really twice the victory!

They really should just allow 1-way transfers once every year or so...What are they afraid of? Ruining red? lol....

[Daldaen]

Need Luclin and PoP for some competition.

[JurisDictum]

The only point people are trying to make here (that I see), is that it's not classic (the server goal) and its not fun (so why break with the server goal?).

Yep. I'm guessing the vast majority of people that play here never really wanted to stare at walls week after week. Go figure.

We're glad you beat p99, please don't come back
