Ahhhhh the good old days of P99, I have great memories of killing 95% of the raid targets for months on end.

At worst, it will be 5 guilds now getting all the kills (with 3 of those 5 getting an even smaller amount).

More likely Taken/Div/BDA get 60-70% of the kills in Class R, and the smaller guilds get the rest unless they start to alliance (which they seemed against doing unless it was their own terms) and be more serious about it.

Whilst that might be correct it's misleading and goes against what Rogean actually said. Read this and have your light bulb moment. Then tell your guildies.

"Raid Scene
It continues to be an aggravating realization among CSR staff that 10% of the server population causes 90% of the problems. We are all for competition, but it needs to be fair competition. We are also all here for the same thing, to experience classic Everquest. The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

I was thinking to myself the other day and I came to ask myself.. Are we providing this server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes that it has resorted to taking every absolute measure to be victorious, or are we here to provide a classic Everquest experience for everyone to enjoy?

A lot of you make fun of it in your own terms, but it really does come down to fighting over very old content.

Either way, we're tired of the constant bickering, the training, the ninja looting, and all the other bullshit that's going on. So here's what we're going to do.

Starting today and then evaluated when Velious is released the CSR staff will be keeping track of how the raid guilds are treating eachother. If we do not see a significant improvement in the behavior of the raiding guilds and how they treat eachother, Velious will be released without raid content. To be clear, we want an enjoyable raid scene for everyone, not just one or two guilds. This means working together to figure out a compromise when racing for mobs, and working with smaller guilds to let them have a chance at mobs you don't absolutely need for gearing main characters.

Don't think that this means you can continue shitting on each other and just not petition, the staff will still be watching."

Quite possibly closer to the truth than you think. All those proposals with ultimatums attached were far more representative of a guild coming from class C than R. If we think back to when Rogean and staff got fed up with the hedgimony created by tmo/ib/fe the call was for more of the server to see more of the content. It can't be denied that what is currently happening will be a reversal of that aim.

Depending on what happens in the coming months I would not be suprised to see a guild or two forceably moved into class C.
It's not realistic and it won't happen. You can't turn my troll around on me.

Yeah, Chest is mistaken about that point. We were going after he king. The IP reference is to a group of A-Team or something that we beat to the punch for a queen that had IP.

Actually that might have been Asgard as well.

To be fair, you didn't maintain a presence at the camp, we got FTE on King with a clean engage, and you guys dropped the rest of king and queen room on us. We got rezzed up faster than you guys and still managed to kill the King.

To me, that's a fair method for contesting a camp (minus the train business).

Doubt it was A-Team unless it was LONG agao; the only Chardok competitions I remember were us beating you to a hammer (grats Coeur!), us wiping to the king with 7 and like 0 DPS when IB put some pressure on us before we were really ready, us not killing the Queen when she had the IP because it was 3AM and Europa picking it up the next day, and Taken pulling the same 'well w/e, the fact that you killed the previous round has no bearing on things' which is by consensus kind of a douchebag move, since no one really wants to sit there in the King's room for 2 hours.

Because of guild leaders & officers imo. 90% of players have no issue with people of different guilds, but our egos aren't at stake if we lose the mob to another guild. It comes down to simple tribal pride.
