i dont always start threads, but when i do

Couple of points from an unguilded new to red player.

Whoever is suggesting variance on a server that is already dominated by a zerg guild should be shot.

What you want is simulated repops so the dominant guild has to make choices about which targets to go after or split their raid force. Variance just empowers the guild with larger population and more resources to track and mobilize.

Another thing, get the fuck out of here with the notion that twinks killing noobs (and groups) in rags is pvp. When there is effectively no risk of death it stops being PvP and starts being griefing, especially when you're doing it for no other reason than YT. Clearly it's unreslistic to expect PvP to be fair but when you kill players with gear that literally allows you to out regen someone else's dps or have more life than their potential damage of their mana pool, you're just hurting the server and defending those actions hurts you and your guilds image.

Success in EQ pvp is largely a factor of numbers, clearly some guilds are doing better at managing thier public persona than others.

And for the record, as an unguilded 49 Necro I've had pleasant interactions with Holo, Fresh and Sauve. I've yet to have any kind of interaction with Azrael players outside of ooc with the exception of possibly being ganked repeatedly in CB, Unrest and MM by characters allegedly associated with them.

TL,DR : manage your image better, there are lots of veteran players with the potential to be good guildmates/pvp'ers who want nothing more than a fun healthy server.

Good to see the immersion level of the servers GM is at an all-time high. No doubt, good things to come! Apparently if you play this video game for some easy fun you're a piece of shit. Get back into the salt mines you droogs, EverQuest is real life.

Well said, man. I got involved in the forumquest because I am sick of seeing other guilds try to smear all the smaller ones that are trying to compete when they either do the same thing - or - are the worst offenders. You are obviously intelligent, weighing your options and forming your own opinion before joining a guild. I did the same thing.

Loving red. Thanks for the attention Sirken!

am i being trolled?

Think it's pretty safe to assume that what he means is holocaust has been a positive influx as far as increasing the population but at this point you are hurting the pvp aspect of it by further expanding your roster.

Actually who the fuck knows the thoughts of anyone else in this insane asylum.

lets get something straight here folks

holocaust has done nothing for server pop. When Nihilum had the zerg, server numbers were low. in fact at some times all time low. Holocaust has nothing to do with server pop going up.

The efforts of GMs and the community as a whole is the direct reasoning for server pop growing, cuddled with the fact that blue server sucks.

so pls spare the bullshit.

[Duckwalk]

That fact that Nihilum is gone and Holocaust is no where near as toxic to the leveling population doesn't hurt either.
