raiding seems heavily over-camped, was live like that? - Page 3

Wow. This would be a different experience than I had on Erollisi Marr.

Cool to see what per-server differences there really were.

Emarr wasnt that bad, Magister and DG were usually pretty cool about letting smaller guilds have a shot at content once they had done it a few times, hell we even had magister monks come to help us pull our first shot at NToV =D They did fight with MF alot, but that was mostly to keep MF from cockblocking everyone below them, imho. =)

Veeshan didnt really have any competition till umm.. Veilous maybe?

I cant give as fair assessment. Coming from Rallos Zek, we didnt have the insane amount of poopsockers that are here on P99. If people tried to poopsock something like they do here, they got smacked up and shipped out. Only the strong survived and typically the poopsockers werent rollin with killer instinct.

I don't even raid here yet but it seems like things are killed almost as soon as they pop.

no, cause on live we would have been already in kunark for half a year [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All I remember on Veeshan, was FoH dominance, no one really competed. There was no rotation, first in force got the kill. I hate to say it but rotations are for sissys, its part of what is missing from MMO's now a days at least in my point of view, a big part of EQ's fun was mobilizing to get a kill and then getting that kill. It seemed alot more epic. Beating someone to the punch.

i used to love those open raids on tunare, im sure i remember a booking system later on to, as a euro i remember staying up till like 5am on my 1st naggy raid, scary as hell.

I loved all the fear and hate raids but the euro community got ruined by a few dictators on power trips during kunark trying to keep up with all the big guilds, merged all the guilds to one 'inspiring' you to level over guild chat and crap, ruined the game for me and i quit shortly after luclin.

i still remember all the drama though, basically everyone slagging that warrior thogg off iirc. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The raiding guilds on Brell were mature enough to work out a scheduling system.

Brell had a player run rotation, but the list was hella long, think it got up to 20 plus in the dragon rotation. The raid rotation was inforced all the way threw Velious and it worked much better with more content/gear in the expansions. There is always a guild that formed to buck the system back then, but blacklisted very fast.
