Nothing in this convo makes me believe we didn't give you a rhino mount. I mention a rhino mount would make it easier, because I didn't have a rhino mount before VT, but I did by the time this conversation would have occurred. Maybe this conversation is what you're relying on to "remember" you...

FWIW I think for the people in that raid, there is no real asterisk. Beating Mearatas is lke a legit EQ accomplishment these TLP mouthbreathers will never understand. My only point was if Atabishi wants to get real technical and stupid, I could pick apart things for OGC. But Atabishi doesn't...

I'm going to Bishi style wall of text here to try to actually fully respect your points and explain where I'm coming from. When you say we didn't funnel are you talking about keys or gear? If you mean gear maybe you missed my post where I specifically refuted your funneling claim, we funneled...

I mean I literally said there were two mistakes made during launch, both were 100% on me. Maybe you didn't read that or didn't see it. Nowhere did I say you were the reason for our entire guild's performance. What I did say is you don't really have much right to complain about the Selo guild...

That isn't accurate Rajaah. The actual way progression boards (like the one ran by Beimeth for live) work is join raids do not count. You guys beat Mearatas in a joint raid. So no, OGC did not beat TBL in era. "Phinny Joint Raids" did. As someone who has actually done Mearatas, I literally am...

I've said my peace bud, you're saying factually different things than me. I know what the actual truth was, you can believe whatever you want. My point stands that you're just a loud mouth who talks a big EQ game but has never played a big EQ game. This highlights my point that the people...

Like I said, your memory is plain not accurate here. We clearly had less DPS than them, and they had a pre-cleared DZ that reopened in a few hours. Staying in open world was not the best chance to win, doing a DZ was. It was not a great chance because we were frankly out positioned to this...

No one compared them other than you.

This goes back to maybe you just don't remember, because you were 100% given a rhino by Kith. I actually don't think you would just lie about something so black and white, so I'm going to assume with all the drama maybe you just forgot. I will note that your constant AoS dick sucking (by the...

Maybe that strategy would have worked, hard to say. We would not have known any of that was possible at the time. Like I said, zero of us had ever seen warder VT. Something Amtrak kinda likes to not mention is none of their core had either. They actually got trained up heavily by Mabbu's guild...

I've always said that Phinny guilds faced a very different challenge from us. Keeping interest when you only raid 1-2 days a week (which is the reality on a regular TLP after GoD) for 5 years is non-trivial. Selo appealed to people that want to play EQ almost every day. The same cast of...

Do you mean the practice session where me and kith were there with you doing the skips for hours on test? Like seriously dude, I hope you're just misremembering, because otherwise you are blatantly lying. You were given both a slow and a fast horse, I'm not really sure what your complaint is...

100%, and this is why we went to DZ. Our options were: 1. Stay and lose DPS races 2. Train war to keep Amtrak from doing Open World, but in a number of hours their DZ opens and they can just finish there uncontested 3. Start our DZ right away, because if we manage to clear it fast, at least we...

And there is 0 truth to the fact you had begged for horse money for "days", we literally said if we needed to do the skips we'd give you one, when the time came we asked you what horse was needed and you said the one you picked was fine. I'll echo what Dick said, putting the skips on one person...

I mean you can try to rewrite history as much as you want Cuk, the reality is you had a role, you failed at it because you got wife aggro. I have no idea your motivation to straight up lie about the rest of the shit that happened. What actually happened is we went to open world and DPS raced...

True, he came back hours later after our dz timer expired when you guys were getting close and asked permission to train. I said "do whatever you want man." I was tired and over it. I felt 0 motivation to train you guys there, mentally I had already moved on to the next step on Selo. I have zero...

I think I've been pretty honest about this--and I think it's either something I've mentioned a number of times with my guild, and maybe haven't posted here (but I think I've posted it on here before), I was serious about competing for Luclin, but after that my only goal was to reach live. My...

Nah, I mean it could just be it was a mistake like I said it was. Mistakes don't mean you weren't serious, it means you fucked up. Like I said I made two big mistakes with that launch. In truth we should have used Artemesa who the next time in VT did all the skips perfectly. Obviously if I had...

My point was more in regards to guild progression. I'm saying unlike on old era TLPs, there is no meaningful way where open world raiding can meaningfully block another guild's progression. In Kunark / Luclin / PoP you can sorta slow another guild down in OW, but only fairly moderately. Like I...

I mean dude I'm going to talk a little bit of hard truth to you. For one, we did go hard to try to win Luclin. We also did funnel loot, not actually sure why you don't remember that. But we specifically funneled loot to tanks and some healers, and we cleared out the Bazaar multiple times with...

I mean I don't disagree that everything I said was subjective opinion. And I've honestly tried to give you credit in the past for the things you have done, but then you've spent like 2 months posting crazy nonsense on these forums that most people know isn't true, and reduced yourself to a meme...

I'm certainly not saying that people don't have fun on TLPs. That was never the point I was making. The larger point I was making is OW mostly has no real meaning in terms of the game itself, it's literally just something to do because you're bored. I'm saying the consequences for guilds like...

Note that wall of text is from the same guy who thinks Aradune is still a high pop server despite repeated evidence to the contrary. I also believe he was a joke on Mangler and dominated Aradune a server with 0 competition. I may be a back in my day kinda guy Bishi, but I had a day. You never...

I mean it doesn’t allow them to remain competitive longer. It largely renders competition completely meaningless. EQ content up until basically Plane of Time is so non-gear dependent that weekly AoC are more gear than ANY guild needs to beat all available content. The only competitions that...

Right but there is no glory. And to be honest you have never known the glory either. It's always been weird to me the loudest "reee I wanna batphone" people have been veterans of AoC servers. To me, competition in EQ was about taking things that other guilds desperately needed and that you could...

There have not been any DPS races that I've seen and I'm not sure there will be. Anytime one guild has clearly mobilized faster the other guild has called off their batphone, or has just started training. I'm not actually sure there is currently seen as any incentive to DPS race especially when...

I feel like this is one of the lowest quality posters FoH has produced in many years.

It is. Believe on Phinny and Agnarr it came out during Luclin, maybe a month in or something? Because on Agnarr several of those revamped CT items were available on the Bazaar mid-Luclin. But before Agnarr even hit PoP the decision came down it wasn't appropriate for Luclin era, and got patched...

Right, the big stable emu (p99) is pretty professionally ran and clearly not going anywhere. But not everyone wants to play a Velious locked EQ. Many of the interesting alternatives only exist for a few months at a time, and are not professionally ran. That's the short of it.

Most people play MMOs to build and advance a character over time. Emus tends to fall into two categories: somewhat faithful emulations of specific eras of EQ (p99, TAK Project probably being the most famous), or ones that try to do some de novo content creation using the engine (Shards of...

I mean for group progression on new expansions we always tried to make sure everyone had help on Selo, and for people trying to catch up on levels. But that was about the limit of what we could feasible, from a leadership perspective, promote. I didn't have the energy or the ability to make sure...

This happened on Agnarr too, someone did a free transfer to Zek, got a few million plat, petitioned saying "I didn't know what this server transfer window was, and accidentally transferred to this weird pvp server", GM moved his char back to Agnarr with millions of plat in like....week 4 of classic.

I mean I have like 100 posts here and check this forum maybe once a week; I've lead two TLP guilds for years and run a live guild today. Most of my time in EQ is spent actually running shit not foaming at the mouth on the forums; I'm not part of the crowd of mongoloids who just spew shit onto...

The only way in which it could be fake is if someone found a way to fake trade window display. Like 3 months ago a friend of mine actually discovered an item dupe over on Aradune, but he said the way it worked, if your character zoned the duplicate item would disappear. I think this item dupe...

I mean like I said, someone showed me proof. I didn't record it myself, I had no reason to. I don't care if there is a plat dupe and the economy of Mischief has literally 0 impact on my life. I never imagined I would even discuss the dupe outside of with a small group of friends, until it came...

People have provided me hard proof in game, I don't really want to out who but I think they're planning to expose it more soon.

What was that pirate PvP that was popular right before Selo launched? I think Atlas or something. My understanding is that game had hilariously prevalent item duping, and they ended up just doing like a full wipe of all the game's items so it rebaselined everyone to zero. That's probably the...

Part of the reason live servers have billions and billions of platinum is largely because of past plat dupes. I think there's been so many over the years, and the devs have so little ability to track them down and reverse their effects on the economy that people ultimately just have to deal with...

I've seen people with hundreds of millions of platinum on Mischief, confirmed by the way. That isn't a GDKP guild juicing up the economy, that's a plat dupe. My understanding is the reason it hasn't caused a Ragefire esque plat market implosion is because on RF literally hundreds of people were...
