Server Won't Change By Itself

TLDR summary: We in the resistance need to work better to take on Empire. The server needs more people (bring a ready made blue guild over). Weirdly immersed people need to play the game for fun not for life.

The issue is that the people on the server haven't really changed. Sure, there's fewer of us than there used to be. But the basic breakdown of player types and psychologies hasn't changed. And we're not much different from any other MMO in that regard.

If more people are going to join, there needs to be reason for them to join. In the case of EQ PvP, that reason comes from the fact that EQ PvP is different from any other MMO. We aren't fighting for honor or PvP points or any of that stuff. Here, we're fighting for the right to play the endgame at all. The right to be the group who kills the boss and takes the loot.

But people won't fight if they're better off working together. That's the basic issue with PvP as the server is now. Item loot and the removal of crappy rules would fix that by ensuring that even a group of five can seriously hinder a group of fifty, if the larger group can't handle them.

There is not 1 fight in velious that requires 90-110 . But I am glad to see empire is starting to kick people out . Maybe things will change in 6 months

ya, if every single player is a hypernerd warrior, cleric, or rogue and all buffs + slow + tash + etc are camped over by rogue players with solid states (not classic) you could clear velious with lower numbers, but its still not time efficient compared to just bringing more people & splitting loot thinner ya feelers?

velious was mostly designed for abt 70 players for the endgame raiding. ud know this if you ever played live.

70? The. Why field 110 ? That's 40 extra

give me a screenshot of empire ever having 110 people on a raid and i'll blow my brains out on a live stream

Too many unemployed.
Too many failing college students.
Too many people with failed marriages due to pixel brain rot.

have u ever considered its beneficial to take more than the bare minimum force you need to clear content, in order to ensure things run quickly & smoothly every week? but ya 70's what's allowed in the instanced velious raids on the live progression servers. which are easier than red for various reasons (item recharges etc)

tunare/sontalak/etc kills used to regularly field 100-150+ on ayonae ro/xegony velious era live. you can do it with less on blue because p99 is easier than live + everyone knows game mechanics better 17 years later (ch sword recharges etc) but back then thats what was standard for those encounters. velious was a big guild raiding xpak. if u want to raid with 10 mans you should look into warcraft.

I really did enjoy the smaller content WoW offered at that point, 10 man dungeons were fun.

LFM 10 man ToV.

we barely had 100 on launch and that was like "critical mass" of everyone logging on / coming back from break.
