Here's the thing.







He has a very strong point. Ball is in the staff's court if they REALLY WANT TO corral TMO away from current targets. I'm sure it is being worked on right now and may be absolutely in no shape of ready, but its a beta let them make the laundry lists and do the finer points of testing for you.

Actualy would be a great deal , let people test velious with the promise they will do it full time and will not raid on p99.

sideffects: u know people would have a brutal edge when velious release happen . but world isnt perfect

Cant RMT the test server things to yourself - wont happen.

I've been out in the real world doing things for the past couple of weeks. Bored at work on a Monday during lunch so I pop over to p99.

Finally get the skinny on the raid bans I'd heard about...

I see the new GM rule about training and agro...

I see players posting.

There are some serious adult brats on this server. That's all there is to it. Either side can argue their points until blue in the face and all I keep thinking is: geez... what a brat.

/shrug

I'll bet for a commoner like me, it's still great to just log in and goof off =) I'd hoped to raid on this server, but if I take what I read at face value, it just doesn't look like it's going to be worth the time. As an old electrician told me one summer: you'd get more out of poundin' yer pud.

Am I way off base on this? Seems like the raiding scene drama's been nearly non-stop for two years here. Shame really- it's such a small community to begin with. There's literally a population low enough that everybody on this server could get to enjoy all of the content in an orderly fashion, but for some reason, conflict is created...

Meh. Bored work musings.

Personally I agree with this. However, you have to understand that we have two types of people on this server: the 90% which want to experience the stuff they never got to do on Live for whatever reason, and the 10% who want to be the best by stepping on the 90% as much as possible. The vast majority of what goes on in these threads are people from each side just not understanding the perspective of the others.

Which is why we need raid rules that allow both sides to get their fix, i.e. competition but limited in some ways. Variance turns out to only amp up the competition, hence the desire for simultaneous repops. We can only hope that this is Nilbog's proposal.

I would love to start testing beta for velious, but patience is key for everything at this point. I have done all the content so far accept VP and I am not going in there. That whole training for hours on end thing really sets my hair on end.

Supply goes up, guild can only be in so many places at once, make your kills.

I've shuffled around and seen plenty of people with epics and sky loots. There's a raid scene, its just not VP loots for all.

How many/which targets went unslain during this time.

Everything died with the exception of a few VP dragons. Im sure if BDA had more keys they would have died as well.

Intredasting

What Yendor never really understood, because he's never been in TMO, is that we have many players who play for the love of the game and the server itself. EQ was always about competition, raiding, and intense styles of play, so I have no idea what universe you're living on. You're one of those people who just use TMO as a scapegoat because the server isn't exactly how YOU'D want it. Utopias are unattainable, and people have different perceptions of what makes up a server that's worth playing on. You just can't bear the fact that someone has a different opinion of what a great server is comprised of. So, please kindly sir, stop using server chat as a "blame TMO" channel, it isn't constructive at all.
