Regardless of stance and desire to challenge posts in here, I request that no more A-Team continue to argue in this thread, as this is not the place to do so.

Briscoe and I represented A-Team in the discussions, and regardless of who did or did not break the rotation, A-Team chose to leave with other guilds based on frustration with how negotiations were carried out or not carried out and the belief that we were not allowed to provide input that was truly considered in any revisions made.

The A-Team wishes no ill will on any guilds on this server; this includes BDA, Taken, and Divinity. However, we will not support policies we are not allowed to provide input on, and if the only alternative to supporting a policy we do not agree with is leaving said rotation or coalition, we will do so in the future. We will choose to remain amiable with any guilds on this server regardless of the past, and we expect them to do so as well with us.

We will not name call anymore in this thread, and we would hope other guilds choose to act similarly.

So wait, is the rotation actually over? For realsies?

The box has changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost. For none now play who remember it.

And nine, nine Pixels were gifted to the hardcore raiders, who above all else desired loots. For within these pixels was bound the strength and will to dominate server content.

But they were all of them deceived, for an agreement was made. In the land of Forumquest, in the fires RNF, the players and staff forged in secret a master rotation to control all others, and into this agreement, they poured their fairness, their justice, and their will to regulate all raiding. One rotation to rule them all.

Meanwhile, one by one the free guilds of P99 fell to the power of TMO. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of casuals and neckbeards marched against the armies of TMO and on the threads of RNF, they fought for the freedom of P99. Victory was near but the power of the Pixel could not be undone. It was in this moment when all hope had faded that Rogean, Lord of the Box, took up his banhammer... Zeelot, the enemy of the casuals of P99 was defeated.

The Pixels passed to Zagum, who had this one chance to obstruct any agreement forever. But the hardcores were easily convinced. And the Pixels have a will of their own. They betrayed old TMO to its death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth, and for twelve and a half months, the Pixels passed out of all knowledge until, when chance came, they ensnared a new bearer. The Pixels came to the creature Chest who took them deep into the basement of his mother's house and there it consumed him. The Pixels brought to Chest unnatural long playtimes. For five months, they poisoned his life. And in the gloom of Chest's bedroom, they waited.

Darkness crept back into the forums. Rumor grew of a shadow in the rotation, whimpers of unfairness and the Pixels perceived their time had now come. They abandoned the rotation. But something happened the Pixels did not intend. They were picked up by the most unlikely creatures imaginable: casual scum, Taken, BDA, and Divinity. For the times will soon come when Casuals will shape the fortunes of us all...

We need more posts like this. If you can't follow up this masterpiece with something better you should stop posting in the thread.

The average server on Live had at least 2,500 people, so no.

saying vast majority and attributing it to a fact is just asking for trouble.


also rotations on live were built around smaller populations because everquest had way more servers to distribute their population. This is one server where EVERYONE has to be submitted to a rotation.

Its obvious that the majority doesn't raid as hard as the most geared people here. But there has to obviously be a path to being able to do so for everyone. Given what the proposal says it makes it difficult to do with a new guild that has intentions to raid.

we all know this is emu, it doesnt mean we need to like whats established. If anything it should be alot more player driven and managed than live.

Stop talking about raiding, you wimpy level 47 monk. You are allowed to talk about P1999 raiding after getting at least 1 character to 60.

yeah 2500 + people in a game where everything wasnt as documented and mastered as it is now.... alot more low level people then than now. I understand your claim but cant find the comparison.

[Diabolos]

Let's find out! :P

[Paleman]

I already raid. You dont need to be level 60 to have this apply to you.

The Rathe had a rotation for the entire time I was there, and it was one of the largest servers (that got split eventually).
