And what is this huge amount of work the warm bodies are putting in exactly?

Not much, they just get top tier pixels playing casually. you can ridicule them as you see fit, but at the end of the day, they having fun getting stuff and experiencing content and you aren't even though the same options are available. That makes you a dummy.

Hope this helps.

hehehe, the prison isn't the red server guys... don't know how much longer it'll be before you figure that out.

I had a fun time on red once I got out of smallme's pvp range

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!

None of this is anything like classic.

Classic EQ wasn't a stakeout followed by a foot race....ever. It was never anything nearly that retarded, or it wouldn't have been popular as long as it was.

Waiting in camp for a single pull is about the closest thing to "free loot" that has ever existed in gaming. This is what the mostly takes place in the top guilds.

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?

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

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.

I never said the raiding rules here are exactly like classic. Can you even read? The point is that the best pixels should be mostly acquired by the guilds willing to put in the work. The definition of the 'work' has evolved and changed as the raiding rules have evolved and changed. Not every member of these guilds puts in the same amount of 'work' and that is ok... that's what DKP is for. Guilds need FTE'ers, a competent pull team, fresh warm bodies ready to respond to a batphone at various times of the day and then good communication/organization to not fuck up the one attempt. Everybody does their part. Very glad that Sirken confirmed that this server will remain what it has always been. Those who want instanced, easy loot are encouraged to go elsewhere, thanks Sirken!
