Lol. That is exactly what "the community" wants.
Give all 50+ epics, Instance the zones , and ban alts like Bob the millionaire broker says. + 100% mob rotation and full repops weekly.
WTF is happening?
If any of this takes place than they need to rename the server because it would no longer even resemble a classic Everquest experience...

While many people take things out of context on the forums I expect better of you sir.

I have NEVER said ban alts. Ever. Alts are the best part of the game for me. And guess what. All my characters are on different accounts which according to you means I both share account info and RMT.

My point was with everyone having 2,3,4,5, 10 lvl 60's camped out at various mobs there is no race to the raid scene anymore. Which is completely unclassic. Typing in a different login and password to move from Trak to VS is not raiding, sorry. Maybe we should just all install MQ2 so we can type in location coordinates instead of passwords. It would save 10-15 seconds of time.

I am not a big fan of rotations, it takes away the competition and the race. I am not looking for handouts or free loot. Just a decent chance at some without devoting my life to EQ. I did that 14 years ago and that was more than enough.

LOL ^
You are getting your information from "casual scum" it seems , because you are highly misinformed, and eating up propaganda like I would expect from someone who only reads the forums.
Do you really play in game?
The point in raiding a mob is for the gear. So hope you understand that part?
An I have seen even the biggest raid guild die or wipe , but yet you claim its 0 challenge? What do you consider a "zerg"? what #? 20? 30?
Sounds like your just copy pasting shit from forums and no idea what it even means.
New people join the big guilds daily, and they need gear. A lot of peoples mains are still missing gear too. It is not going to some 7th alt , and most the time it is a main characters upgrade.
There are a few Elites in the top guilds though...you have your small crew that are insanely rich and hold the guild bank / sale items an bank plat an gear up there 7th alt before your main is. But that is not everyone . You are categorizing everyone together falsely IMO.

Any new game is instanced, no corpse runs, port anywhere, be any class at anytime, 0 competition in most, etc the list goes on.
Which it sounds like that is what YOU want. These new games tend especially to your needs. As you say it "casual scumbag" these games are made FOR YOU. There are HUNDREDS of games that do exactly as you wish. This is classic Everquest.
It is not some walk in the park easy mode game , where the casual is as geared as the hardcore. If you want shit handed out than almost any game you name will help you out with that. In todays MMO gaming it is all about the casual getting the same as everyone else, or having the option to pay to win.


That is way to much work for not that big of a problem.
Seems everyone is losing their minds trying to find out a solution for free pixels. Forum questing is not going to work. You will get some mobs out of this. But you guys expecting 100% rotation on EVERY SINGLE RAID MOB are delusional.




I do not think he mentions you lol? Dunno why your other posts about casual scum would matter, there are plenty of casual scum posts the past week.
Also dude is talking about people having 7 level 60s on one account. People that have them all on different accounts are either 1. probably banned because they shared accounts or 2. RMT accounts.
There is no need for characters on different accounts if you do not share them or sale them.

TL DR Good luck with forum questing for dragons

A great classic eq server like this is a blast. Like I said, I could care less about loot. If you care about loot, load up a free live account and within a week you'll have 10x better gear than you can get here. Its fun to relive the good old days of EQ. I actually do play when I'm not forum lurking. Actually one of the best parts of this era of EQ is that the difference between a "casual" and a " raider" was really not big. It wasn't until later expansions that the gap got huge. Have some fun. Play a great simulated version of the game that got us all hooked 14 years ago!

Trouble, I'm relaxed. Don't worry. I'm Just uninterested in holding back things I've suspected but always gave the staff here the benefit of the doubt. Why isn't any other guild suspended from raiding while this is hashed out? Our punishment was given out and we served it for what they said we Did wrong (even though most of tmo wasn't involved, guilbanks pretty intact). We lost a loved and trusted guild leader and good people are quitting over this crap.

Your 2 week suspension hasn't run it's course. I think Rogean said the deadline for discussions was Thursday if I remember correctly. He very well may suspend raiding then if something isn't decided.

Very true and that wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. Talks are definitely happening. Most of the progress is being made outside these forums however, for obvious reasons.

I have multiple accounts but its only because I cant play every class and ever race combination on one account! Also I keep thinking of names that I like and then trying to make the class/race combination to match.

On Live I actually did have several accounts and played them at same time. During that time I had a lot of free time and had just found EQ for the first time and so it was the whole new car feel. I had my computers set up so I could play 2 accounts at once. I would leave one in EC with logs on to see what I wanted to save for and farm on the other to be able to afford it. Or I would run the second account to port the first. Pure melee have a hell of a time up until Luclin getting to some places without buying a port.


Oh and to clarify I have never shared accounts on live or here. I just have wanted to re experience everything the game has to offer and to play classes and races I have never played before. With the release of Velious this will become even more true for me since there is so much I've never done there. I never went on Giant faction, never killed Tunare, missed a lot of the lower level and class specific quests there. I never played a lot of other classes during that expansion. I think Druid and then Monk were the only ones really during Velious that I played. That is one of the reasons I'm so excited over it. Also so thankful for the work that the Devs and GMs are putting into it. Its a chance to get to do it all over again.


Edit-I found it really amusing that I'm typing paragraphs and then hitting Post Quick Reply to post them. Type/retype for 10mins then hit Post Quick Reply. Anyone else see irony in that?

Alts are created when 60 is hit, it's that simple. EQ is an evolving game not static and the timeline is paramount in creating a true end game experience. Not difficult to understand.

Oh u said that didn't see ur whole post hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] cool that u can see that

Lazie, the situation isn't classic because of the failure of the gms to release content on time first and foremost. Alts are created when 60 is hit, it's that simple. EQ is an evolving game not static and the timeline is paramount in creating a true end game experience. Not difficult to understand.

Blaming the staff is just the wrong route to take. Especially the people developing the content. They never said this server was a finished product when you signed up for it. They also do what they do for free for the most part (Donations aside for upkeep). They are also trying to recreate something that takes work with a client that wasn't specific to it's era. Takes work.

The rest about alts I mentioned above. You are completely wrong for saying it is the staffs fault for the player made problems. If the content was too old and not evolving fast enough for you...Take a break. Don't make the 3rd...4th..5th alt (Not saying you just people in general) and continue to push even harder for the same content. The players are the ones who keep creating characters and wanting more. Eventually you have to start thinking about the other players playing the game too and say "OK I have enough for myself here, it's time to leave it to others".

NOT BOTH JUST 1 or the OTHER"Turp"^^^

sorry let me break it down more I just briefly ran over it and did misrepresent what you said.
Bob does not want alts banned just new code written to help enforce a better raid environment WITHOUT a forced rotation. Which sounds good.

All my chars are on the same account so I do not have to type new info to raid a different mob.
Realistically most raiders have 1-2 60s , only a few have 5+ 60s.
I said or meant if you have multiple 60s on multiple accounts yes you either share your account info or you Bought WITH plat or RMT'd accounts. It was legal here once.
There is No reason to have 1 60 on 7 different accounts.
If there is a legit reason other than what i mentioned to have these 60s than please, explain. Because you did not. An I really can think of no reason for it. Besides 2-box, rmt future saler, or something planned with that account that is not legit. Or you bought them when account trading was in.

No worries sir

As for characters on different accounts. Being "the Broker" I brokered a lot of account sales, and ended up snagging ones that I wanted. Buying an account with plat is in no way RMT. So you can't throw down a blanket statement like "anyone who has their characters spread across multiple accounts must share account info and or RMT" =p
