So when did everyone make 100 alts to camp every raid target at once?

EQ is an evolving game - needs new content to spread players/plat out. The timeline is stretched so these are the side effects.

Karsten throwing enough dick for errybody. You just can't compete with that.

Okay, none of these ideas are classic, so they wouldn't be implemented... and I doubt any of it would work.

Maybe make the high priority targets spawn more often (every 2-3 days) and then "lock" players of the mobs who were already present during a kill for 5 days or whatever. Guilds would then have to take turns otherwise they would run the risk of locking themselves out and not getting loot. Kind of like a non-instanced dungeon but "instanced" kills. You still get that randomness feeling of EQ raids but the sharing of targets happens instead of the camping 24/7.

Win win situation, more guilds get a shot at the mobs and tmo/fe dont have to spend their whole lives on the game.

It wouldn't even be that hard to code. The devs are just too afraid to make changes to the situation or something.


Live servers would have been the same way if new expansions weren't being released every year. Eventually everyone would have multiple alts and nothing to do but camp the same mobs over and over until they got their new alts gear.


And I also agree that account selling/trading should be illegal. Why is it even allowed? They should take responsibility for their server and comment on some of shady stuff that they allow.

There's only 1 reason for the state of the game and it is simple. The GM's are getting a piece of the action. As a member of a long term guild that spans many games, it is without a doubt that the owners of this server are making money from RMT. From words of my own members, they are without a doubt that Roegan etc. are cashing in. To think anything otherwise is naïve, honestly. I'm sure I'll be banned for such a stance. But, believe me when I tell you people it is the truth. I've spent 12 years leading guilds and from that have many friends shady or otherwise. THE GM'S ARE MAKING MONEY, period. Why stop the money train.

It's not a hate thread, it was to get a conversation going on the current state of the server. I guess instead of trying to improve things you just walk away from them. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Like I said just leave if you don't like it. You think Nilbog is going to change the way the server is run just for you? Its his sandbox, so like it or quit. If anything he has made it harder and harder as a game with every patch. So you want easy mode now? People pissing about raiding just join TMO or FE. How hard is that.

Being the first to hit a raid NPC isn't hard, just tedious.

It's not just me, and no, I don't expect anything to change. I am not bitching about "easy mode" (honestly don't really care about raiding, I play more for the social aspect, especially now), im saying that there's no real competition and the alt poopsocking extravaganza eliminates the fun of racing to mobilize and having to work with whatever number you had on like on live. There were no 50 people ready to log on at a moments notice. Obviously smartphones, twitter, etc weren't around then, so this tactic wouldn't really work.

At this point I'm not even complaining anymore, just explaining my view on things since you seem to think I'm just some newb whining for "easy mode". It's a game I'll probably just get sick of again in a month anyhow. Can still make an observation though. Who knows, if enough people are unhappy with the same thing things could possibly change but I'm not crossing my fingers.
