The single guild has way too many advantages in terms of communication and coordination.... that would be why they are guilded [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Are you trying to say that the most skilled and organized guild with the most available free time gets most of the raid mobs?

HOW CAN THIS BE. WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN.

Appreciate what Tiggles is doing here and thanks for Sirken for giving his time.

I also was watching Sirken Twitch last night (mostly while in sky/hate). It was pretty interesting just watching him float around and change over to different characters. Was pretty cool to see what goes on behind the scenes.

First, playing a 13 year old game has a limited audience to begin with.

Of that limited audience, there is only a small percentage of people that have no jobs, or no life, or nothing better to do besides hoping the batphone will go off. The majority of those people are all ready in TMO.

If any of the people in these smaller guilds wanted to be on call 24/7 for some 13 year old pixels...they would all ready be in TMO, not trying to form some 4 way guild alliance or some shit.

This is why nobody can "compete" with them. There just aren't enough people left who want to deal with that shit.

The problem here is strictly stagnation. If it was like classic eq, with a new expansion coming out ever 6-9 months, TMO could move along and leave the older stuff to the "casuals", and there would be fewer problems.

I'm curious to see how velious will really work out for the server. Time will tell.

I'm not saying people have to respond to 24/7 batphones. That is extremely unrealistic for a video game, and I'm sure there are plenty of people in TMO that refuse to do that as well. But receiving a text message and/or email is not that intrusive. I'm sure there are multiple guilds that are capable of killing all of the Kunark content that is available. But if a group of people want to "kill" 13 year old dragon pixels on this server, then some level of organization and reaction time are required.

Wrong. TMO members make it to any batphone they can. That is how they get DKP to earn items. You have to have around a 30-40% attendance to raids to maintain membership in TMO. Granted, I guess that means you could miss over half the raids, but you wouldn't be first priority for gear.
