Staff - Players - TMO, a Treatise on the Future of the Server

[falkun]

Stealin:
I have a blast derailing trains from other people to save their group or just show it can be done, the challenge of dealing with the extra mobs and all.

I don't enjoy derailing trains getting dropped on top of me because another entity is trying to ruin my day. If someone is going to ruin my day, I want the ability to ruin theirs right back. That's why game-developers created first person shooters, team-based games, and fight games. DOTA, TF2, WoW battlegrounds, PVP servers, CS:S, MW4, Tekken, all of these games were developed so people could bash their heads against each other and proclaim victory. Dropping a train on someone to intentionally screw with them is like the toddler that comes in and bulldozes the other's sand castle. It's beyond childish and no one does it passed age 4, except with internet anonymity.

And here is where your argument falls apart:

The ball, as Nilbog has pointed out, is in *our* court as players. Fighting over 13 year old content is something the top minority has inflicted upon this server and the only reason it is that way is because those toddlers get jollies knocking over our 13 year old sand castle.

Let's just call it like it is. Raiding is "broken" on P99 because of a handful of dildos who refuse to just play nice. If you remove said dildos, your buttholes won't hurt so much. Just sayin'.

[Tr0llb0rn]

lots of content waiting to be raided on red99, come get some, problem solved.

fight others for the content instead of sitting around waiting on variance? ditto with item camps,etc.

[Onshuu]

Redistribute the raid mobs! We the 99%! Occupy EC!

TMO beats you to raids, y u mad tho?

[Nirgon]

Here's the thing.

The wrong approach is "we deserve mobs" - that's exactly how the guys on top feel, BUT they are willing to (if they do work) drag in everyday heavy eyed etc, play till it hurts. That's supply and demand. You have a demand but can't seem to supply the effort.

Trust me when I say if you guys wanted to compete for, say, another mob.. there's a good chance you could post a tracker there and have people camped out to kill it.

That said, you don't have to kill Trakanon or VP dragons or Venril to enjoy the game. Those spawns, are in fact, and were in 1999, held down by the top guild.. accept it.

Do your epics and plane of sky and shit. A lot of that shit is best in slot and I don't think is hyper contested.

The good news in Velious is that I think spawns like King Tormaxx and probably Plane of Growth will be all up for grabs until you're ready to put the pedal to the metal and fight for shit like 7th talismans.

Part of the FAIL of this current gaming culture is "well if I don't get to kill the highest end content, I'm not playing". Wtf.

Imo release an optional velious beta so we can go testing

He has a very strong point. Ball is in the staff's court if they REALLY WANT TO corral TMO away from current targets. I'm sure it is being worked on right now and may be absolutely in no shape of ready, but its a beta let them make the laundry lists and do the finer points of testing for you.

Velious increases the Supply.

@falkun I wonder where you get your statistics from. Based on average server population TMO is roughly 20-25% of the active server population. Alot of guilds out there aren't actively trying to raid. Where do you get this majority from?

/who "the mystical order" all
There are 12 players in EverQuest

/who all count
There are 236 players in EverQuest

Unless there are a LOT of ashamed TMO out there /anon, which is a decent possibility considering your recent fall(s) from grace, we are wondering where YOU come up with these numbers.

I don't think TMO is actually the high a percentage of the population, but this test doesn't even take into account the number of members playing alts that aren't in TMO.

I think TMO does represent a decent percentage of the people who have been active for several months.
