HOW IRONIC

[Salty]

Poopsocks = Skorge.

I like him a lot, but clearly he made a retarded move joining the blue faggot guild

If it is correct that Nihilum only raids with a max count of 30(~27 or so on average?) lately, then they've bled out numbers significantly from a couple months ago, when they could field 40+ players regularly.

Holocaust has also bled out members. Founding Fathers has gained members, but the peak population(lately) of both Holo and FF is about the same(both guilds cap out at 20 members, about 2/3rds of which is planes level, so 13-14ish each, and the average peak online is usually ~13 total, so 10 each).

This would make the combined strength in numbers of Holo+FF at peak to be roughly equivalent to the strength of Nihilum at peak, numbers wise.

Just wanted to clear up the exaggerations that Nihilum has 3x the numbers of either guild(it's 2.1x or so), or that FF has 2/3rds of the numbers of Nihilum(it's more like 1/2).

The current guild balance is not optimal, but it's not as outright broken as it was in the months previous where Nihilum had a 2:1 advantage over Holo and an even bigger advantage versus FF, who weren't even max level a couple months ago save for a few members. So you could say that the situation has improved slightly in terms of(strictly player numbers) balance, lately.

(The numbers balanced out a lot more nicely before the majority of Uprising merged with Nihilum, but, shit happens.)

There's a lot of other factors besides numbers, but since that's the big one discussed...

Edit: This is just how the numbers look as of this week. They'll probably change more as the server rolls along, recruits are picked up, people in smaller guilds get absorbed, etc.

I have a PHd in advanced EQ Zone Geometry, not math, gtfo with all those numbers
