Use that green name influence on Rogaen!

Rogean sees right through my green name. influence denied [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Variance was only useful on servers that were dominated by Euro guilds that locked every raid spawn down at 4-6am est. time.

Helping people get spawns on p99 isnt going to happen with variance.

The only way I see shit getting shared is by everything popping at once or guilds need to step the fuck up and stop being so casual.

Why is there 2 hardcore guilds and 50 casual plane trash clearing guilds?


I've always said, TMO needs to split and compete with itself. Would be a lot more fun for you guys.

i love that you think youre a clever person.

u dont need a zerg to get mobs here. but if you dont think EQ is a timesink game, then you either havent played, or we arent talking about the same game.

I never said EQ wasn't a time sink, you're just making up arguments that you want me to say so you can argue against them. You're over your head here, buddy.

It boils down to how much of a time sink and why it's artificially inflated in the first place.

Why am I arguing with a 12-year-old? Why does a 12-year-old have a green name?

eq is definitely a time sink, but the raid scene is a p99 created timesink. no guilds sat at trak for 24+ hours on live waiting for it to spawn when they knew when it was due.

It's foolish to compare classic raiding to p99 raiding. The only similarity the 2 have is, they share the same mobs.

[Sarius]

You don't need Zerg to get trak, it's really quite simple provided there is no FTE shouts. All you need is one person from your guild to get FTE and let TMO kill your mob. Petition and enjoy the loot!

Because the server pop is about 800-1k, all of the Hardcore players are in those 2 guilds. The rest of us simply CANT, CAN NOT, compete with that level of dedication and to be expected to is insanity....

Simulated server repops would be awesome..

Has Rogaen more or less left this server? That's the impression that I've gotten from a few threads.. I don't really keep up with this sort of stuff.

If the players arent willing/able to do what is necessary, you are beating a dead horse.

Invent all the bullshit mechanics you want, nobody wants to hand raid bosses to people that dont want to work for it.

1-59 was all a timesink and suddenly people are 60 they want rotations so they can stroll into whatever zone they want, whenever they want and get raid bosses?

I dont agree with this at all. It is not TMO/FE/IB whoever the fuck is currently downing bosses fault that casuals cant get raid mobs. They are not special little snowflakes with GM's popping bosses for them.

They put in their time and effort and are reaping the benefits.

Anybody can do the same fucking thing. If you dont want to do this or cant do this, you dont get high end bosses. Simple as that.

Straying from this rule is bordering on WoWism.

Casual guilds need to step up and do something about it.

Just my opinion and im sure you have reasons why thats just not acceptable on an Emulated server.
