[khanable]

Insane variance or zero variance - either or would be fine with me

RNF DUEL ME BRO

Reduce respawn timers of anything greater than 24hours, limit each guild to 1 kill per week of raid targets with the same name. The exact amount im not sure the ideal amount would be to still have some competition for targets, yet they respawn enough so that raiding on p99 is more than just simply poopsocking.

aka guild can kill all raid targets per week, but only gets 1 Cazic, 1 Vulak, 1Yelinak, etc etc etc.

reason for reduced spawn timers is simple. Everquest is old, so old that it cant support a player-base that knows the entire game from top to bottom. Raiding on P99 more than 90% of the time isn't about the ability or challange of defeating a target, its about simply getting the engage, which shifts the focus of the game to poopsocking. Imo server would be alot healthier and less toxic if it was more like "Oh our guild lost the race to Vulak on monday, oh well we will try for him or several other targets tommorw

[Pokesan]

no that just leads to shell guilds full of poopsocker alts

THEY MUST SUFFER

I love you Turp. And I did mention your OP. I just disagree that shorter variance is a good thing. Like I said earlier this morning, it makes more people opt in. Good raiding conditions happen when more people opt out. We were in TMO during long variance and it was pretty damn chill. I think now that more guilds are wiling to track at all, unlike back then, long variance will seriously relax camping dargons simply because you can't have an intense force of 15 people sitting at a zone in for a week. It's retarded.

And really i had this post made JUST for you. But I can't not respond to ole Pokey. So excuse me for including you in a post with him. Like EQ , i gotta get them FQ levels and I am in chadok AE mode tonight.

<3 u too and please , I would like to know what you are planning on doing with this daoc part. I really don't see a new 1999 pvp server coming , at least not as fast as Uthgaard.

And on your first post really ... I didn't even see it at all. My forum quester must be bugged or something. Like this post you just made at first glance I just seen the I love you Turp. Hell who knows...my head has been so cloudy from a crazy weekend of 16 hour variance and some [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]legal activities.
So that is how you beat me I guess. Because I agree.

I took a shot as being a forum warrior but no way in hell I could keep up this shit and take their dragons. I was not embraced but fuck em.
If they do not do a new pvp 99...than you gotta try DAOC Uthgaard. realm vs realm is pretty fun shit and there will be tons of people to explode...ps u ever play daoc in the past im assuming yes but j/w? and would you play the Uthgaard (p1999 of daoc) ? I hope you will. Pretty sure a p99 crew would wreck the battlefield. If ya do we can team up some more and you 1v2 some scrubs [You must be logged in to view images.

I thought p99 had the hardcore trolls...damn...they must of left when the hardcore elite attitude went out the door. They tend to go hand in hand in life.

Oh I absolutely plan on trying it out. No experience with DAoC whatsoever and apparently Nightshades are a horrible beginner's char, but I'm looking forward to a challenge. Magic user / assassin is what I played in L2, and I really miss 1 shotting casters. Would be super fun to have you along ganking people with me.

Most the stealthers back in DAOC days were using buff bots (second account dedicated entirely to stat buffs, which had no expiration timer as long as you were in same zone as the buffer) to be strong enough to 1 shot casters who weren't sitting (or under level, like sub-50), so it would be interesting to see how it goes if Uthgaard doesn't allow boxing.

Yea I told her that buffs was big in DAOC. They say no buff bots but if they are not ran like p99 i see people circumventing that easy. And especially at launch with SO many people. How can they control it? Got a big staff ?

Read first post and skipped the rest. In case nobody else mentioned it. This server survived 5 years of Kunark with a shittier raid scene than we have right now with casual guilds getting even less raid targets than they're getting now with the top 1-2 guilds getting an even bigger slice of the available pixel pie.

Your doomsday mindset is drastically underestimating how addicted people are to this video game. The server isn't even close to dying. Does the raid scene suck in a lot of ways? Sure as shit does. But it's been worse for literally YEARS at a time and it's still here. I don't get how you can possibly think it will be different this time.
