FTE lockouts and races to unrooted dragons would revert the need for zerg. Let some playmakers do their thing with smaller groups of elf pals.

Fuck bag limits, fuck drafts, fuck your new socialist Woke99 meta...bunch of lollygagging cuckbois circle-jerking themselves into oblivion...you did this to yourselves by embracing this nonsense.

RIP blue (I haven't logged in for over a year).

It's also ironic because he was kicked from all the raiding guilds. So he can't even raid and he sits here bitching about raiding changes. Loser

I would totally start playing again if that were to happen, both for the salty tears from all the sweaty neckbeards that have literally ruined their lives in order to poopsock and pixel block a dead game, and also because I'm an actual adult with responsibilities, a actual life, and interested outside of 20 year old MMOs, so being able to schedule raid nights with my buddies without NEET nerds around sounds like a blast.

Instanced raiding in the classic era would be so terrible IMO. Honestly, EQ raiding isn't that exciting or complex, at least not until like PoP where things got much cooler. As a result, part of what makes it actually interesting is the non-instanced aspect...knowing that you need to make sure these pulls are perfect and that you get those mobs down in time, and that you get your raid force to the right location and organized, before the other guild shows up to try to snipe. Knowing that if you wipe on that dragon, you are probably done raiding for the evening, at least for the valuable stuff. Strategizing on where to go and when during a quake to try and end around the other guilds.

If it were noninstanced classic raiding would honestly be so terrible and monotonous. The only thing that keeps it fresh at all is the competition.

The essence and nature of this game is competitive and cooperative, at all levels from soloing, grouping, through raiding. Interaction is key in this Project, just as it is within all mmo's.

There's no denying it yet people still try to advocate for some bastardized hybrid template beyond simple meritocracy and interaction. Project 1999 would be a ghost town without competition and interaction, just like all the other emulators in existence.

@Ekco - Yes, Quake meta only devalues this entire Project and hastens its doom by rewarding all the instant gratification folks. They're incapable of "looking down the road" towards the eventual end of said road. Menden seems fine maintaining this course of action based upon past comments and current actions.

@Klaz - There's a reason why the military moves a recently promoted NCO from his team and former buddies in the lower enlisted bracket instead of leaving him there "in charge".

We're all just pissing in the wind anyways. It's not like customer service rep's nor admin care what we think about any of this. Sit back and enjoy the ride. /popcorn

In actual everquest, sold in a box and played by paying subscribers, there were new tiers of content released every year, so the most hardcore, to the most casual, had new content every year, just in the case of casuals it was several years and tiers below the cutting edge.

That's opposed to a raid rules only form of perma velious p99 where you'd have 1 guild (maybe 2) killing all the content across every expansion in the game within minutes of it popping, and everyone else having nothing to do. I don't know why you think that could work as a server.

staying in a bad marriage (guild) for the kids (raid loot) is worth it.

It really isn't. Go outside.
