Guild Leader?

[SamwiseRed]

i agree, everquest raiding is a zerg fest. the advantage to that is huge pvp battles however for whatever reason its a rare occasion here. everquest leveling is the most mind numbing thing ive ever forced myself to experience. its saving grace is the charm of the world. each race having a city, lots of dungeons, ect. eq is a very slow paced game compared to most mmos. i dont think anyone is claiming there is strategy or high skill involved.

There's no skill to being a guild leader on red99. There's a finite number of players, and everyone knows if they want loot they only have one option. People know that the key to getting loot is having as many people together in the same guild as possible. Nizzar's skill is as a raid leader. When it comes to "guild" leading, there's basically no membership say, no charter, no true app voting process, no guild bank accountability, etc. But people put up with it all because that's where you get loot. It's a monopoly, you don't like your comcast cable? Well get fucked then cuz we're the only show in town. Oh, you want to make your own cable company? Cool, good luck with that because we hold all the cable line permits etc., and will blackmail the government to prevent you from competing. You can't boycott gas stations if you want to drive, and you can't boycott Nihilum if you want loot.

But for the same reasons your posted above it is is hard to maintain a core unlike most servers. it is also a constant influx of new people to train and gear. It is hard to keep people motivated until most other servers.

Unlike a lot of leaders Nizzar is very level headed and understand that he needs to worry about HIS guild and not other guilds.

So, GM makes call that inconveniences your exploiting guild from exploiting further.. And that entitles you to call them "retards" and verbally abuse them because they "make bad calls."

It's hard to keep people motivated because there's no incentive provided to stay motivated in Nihilum. It's a guild built around loot first. There's a reason there's so many veterans on the sidelines. Once you get geared up there's zero incentive provided to continue to play. You can "main change" but we see how that's fared so far for Thrilla and Raze. If, instead, the guild rewarded those who do the most such as Thrilla & Raze and others, it wouldn't need to recruit 500 people to keep replacing it's depleted ranks because you would be keeping your core engaged and interested and logging in. Obviously, a guild always needs to recruit to some extent to replenish those who quit, and to add skilled players, no one is going to dispute that, but at the same time if it were to cater more to the core players and allow them to be more involved, not charge someone like Arzak 20k for a trak BP, etc., it would see overall less burn out. That isn't meant to be some sort of scathing attack or calling Nihilum a shit guild, to be quite honest it's fine, it's just my opinion if it were to focus a little bit more on those who built it, it wouldn't need to always be looking to bring in so many new faces.

Charging 20k for a Trak BP funneled into runed mithril tunics is a good system to me, if I was Nizzar.

PS Heartbrand's right BTW, most people dislike Nihilum for what they do - not on a personal level, but they join them anyways because it's their only chance to max out their toons.

CAN"T BLAME THEM HEH HEH - just make sure you do the right thing and stop logging on or leave once your maxed pals.
