Lord Nagafen & Lady Vox status (post 52 restriction)

It's shit like this that ran off new players and still does. It's shit like this that caused the overuse of instances. We all loved raiding back in the day but only a select few were able to get into the elite guilds. This caused developers to create instances, this caused us to hate these games, and ultimately caused us to play on this server again.

And now here we are, doing the same fucking shit we always did. Why are people not learning? Let some of the lower tier guilds raid so the "sandbox" loving playerbase will grow and it might be feasible for a devloper to target us as a market again. Big picture people.

Think outside the fuckin' bun.

That, my friend, deserves a beer.

This is likely the top reason people will lose interest in this server. The end game is unavailable to everyone not in TMO or TR.

You are right Tunarian. Unfortunately, that's the human nature.
Video games are nothing but a projection of reality, with a spice of anonymity.

^^ That. The "OMG there's nothing to do on this server because of TR/TMO" is nonsense. Chardok royals, PoH/PoF, Phinny, Juggs/Reets... hell, the entire plane of sky is a series of incresingly difficult raid targets and perfect for teaching people raid mechanics in EQ. Considering how much of the devs focus is on epics, we can't be that far out from those quests which have a ton of small-medium triggered raids to do with your guildmates.

If we ever have simulated patch days again, you will have 3-4 non TR/TMO guilds competing for the classic targets TR/TMO save till the end.

Split the goddamn server already.

Bonus points if you put TMO/TR on their own private server, since there's 0 joy in EQ in having something if you can't lord it over others.

It's no different from the EC market guilds buying up everything and then selling at hugely inflated prices. Just makes the barrier of entry for new people that much worse.

People are greedy and do stupid, short-sighted things. Especially when they can do it without anyone knowing who they are.

Oh, you're absolutely right. We are so looking forward to walking around with our 90%-completed epics until every TR/TMO main and alt completes theirs so their poopsock crews stop spamming Target Nearest NPC and Range Attack keys with 72 hours left in window on the boss mob that drops the final piece.

At least rogues will be okay.

"Hail, Stanos"
"Congratulations! Here is your Ragebringer!"

Then you know what you must do.
