A question to everyone not in TMO/IB.....

Everyone involved in making the endgame of this server what it is, ask yourselves this: If you learned that you had only 24 hours to live, would you spend that time poopsocking raid targets? And would you feel good about how you spent the last year (or 3) of your life? There is more to this world than fighting for dragon loot and it's an absolute tragedy to see the miracle of the human mind wasted in this way.

Sadly this IS probably a lot of their lives and if the plug ever got pulled they would need to be on suicide watch.

I imagine they'd go over to EQMac if that happened. Or another game.

To the OP:

Enjoy this server for what it is, but don't get involved in the bs of the raiding game here. Find your own way to play and enjoy the ride. Then when you do get the urge to raid, just leave. The raiding game here is like a hot dog eating competition. If you win, you're still a fat, worthless piece of shit, albeit with a shiny new trophy. And if you lose, you have to live knowing you lost to a fat, worthless piece of shit. There is nothing to be gained.

Lol!

Remove non-classic silly things (like variance)

so your solution to people lacking raid experience is just to have everything on a known timer so 200 people can sit at the spawn point right clicking for FTE?

no what we really need is some rule clarifications (wtf @ taken kiting fay for 5 minutes) and enforcement. no more trains, even in VP. no more leapfrogging at the vox prep room.

to sum it up, TMO has no incentive to share pixels as long as they (or anybody else for that matter) are allowed to skirt the rules.

un-nerf Yvandyr's Hoop.

classic or not, some changes are definitely for the best. waiting for soufire fix to only work for paladins even in inventory. try clicking one on any other class on live from the last 12 years. go ahead and try.

Where's the competition?

In the last 2 repops Taken, Divinity, IB, FE, and BDA I think all at least attempted a boss mobs. FE downed the last 2 Traks. There is competition.

wtb simulated maintenance day repops.... one guy can't login 5 parked toons simultaneously here (at least not easily).

It takes the rare and inconsistent repops for there to be a shadow of competition. Nobody who's joined TMO in the last year and a half did it for the competition.

Couldn't agree more. I was shocked by the pure spite that TMO showed towards VD when IB left and their focus was completely on VD. I play soccer for fun and competition. I don't take dives, I don't scream at the refs. Trying to raid on P99 with that same approach is impossible ... see quote above.

I would like to see how many people at the top have IP exemptions. Of those, I wonder how many are actually valid.

There are a lot of intelligent adults out there posting (in a few threads I read). So a thought popped in my mind.... what are all your true priorities in terms of end game? Do any of your guilds have people who could actually raid if given the chance?


Why doesn't each guild who really wants the end game to open up dedicate a group of their more hardcore types and create an alliance of sorts....

And just beat TMO at their own game? or IB or whoever? Anyone who has raided knows as soon as the winds turn a little.... shit goes down.

Instead of arguing about rules... how about fighting back? Nothing they can do can't be done by you.


TDLR - create a massive alliance zerg and start taking raid mobs. TMO trains you? Train them back... they train you harder? You guys have intelligent folks....fight back.

Because the fact of creating a massive alliance of zerging players is FUCKING. STUPID.
