we should definitely introduce variance.

[Jib]

sim repops are great but really need variance. its all about the variance to get that population up

[Goobles]

Variance was never implemented on Live. Patch days were, and effectively created a more competitive raiding atmosphere better than 3am repops on a Tuesday will on this server.

Clearly you have no clue how everquest dynamics work.

Elderan has achieved more in everquest than one could even dream - trust me, he knows how this shit works

[Quiet]

You guys are Eldermorans. Smaller guilds aren't going to be getting raid mobs that Nihilum doesn't decide they want for themselves. How'd that work out for Red Dawn? Maybe they leave Faydedar up during a sim repop or you can snipe a Talendor, a vox? Can you successfully gear out a guild enough to compete with those loots? Nope. All the Naggy / Vox / Faydedar loot in the world isn't going to bridge the gap for smaller guilds. EQ is a number game and to quote Doogie Howser in starship troopers, "its simple numbers boys and girls, they have more"

Azrael isn't going to compete. Currently full spawns occur Saturday and Sunday. Nothing but bitching and moaning when repops were at odd hours, now they aren't and even with similar numbers, cant compete. The force is strong with the zerg and Lite is a tool with a core group of mutants so full of themselves that they are basically the best reason to app to Nihi. Whats Nihi's main recruiting plug? --> We aren't Azrael lol.
End of story.

Why don't you ask for what you really need. A GM implemented Rotation at a nice safe time so you can log in free of the zerg and kill mobs for yourselves without worry. Maybe scheduled nights you can kill dragons and alternating weeks for each guild. That's your only shot. K thx.

get a grip you crybaby before you have a conniption

I think quiet is a crybaby morale killing faggot (who I am forced to love as a fellow jew) and I fully endorse his post as 100% accurate.

The server is over pals, at least when it comes to competing. Sure, the lawn mower man crew of Salem and pals can do some shenanigans in velious and wipe a raid or two, but stealing big mobs? Azrael isn't doing it. Red dawn was the last chance and staff decisions killed the guild. the time to mass recruit again for a new guild was two months ago when the huge influx of new players came. Those people all joined nihilum because the only other option was azrael and this was when azrael was winning all the mobs for fucks sakes!

The only hope you guys have of making this server competitive at this point is either nizzar permanently quitting, or blue copies. All this other bullshit isn't going to accomplish anything.

No crying seen. Altered perception of reality.
