This server is just fucking awesome. Seriously. Fuck yeah Darkpaw Games for finally getting the TLP formula right.
While FV has droppable loot that is no-drop on other servers, adding randomized loot to that ruleset is what makes this server the win.
Thanks to this server, you can literally put a guild together with a handful of friends, and get everything you want with out having to go kill raid mobs that require either a shit ton of guild members or a bunch of boxes. Why is that possible? Because top tier raid loot drops off of non-top tier raid mobs.
In Kunark, killing Trakanon or Phara Dar was not necessary. You could get the same stuff off of VS. So, fuck VP if you don't want to do it.
In Velious, killing Avator of War or Vulak (and his buddies) is not necessary. You can get the same stuff off of lower tier raid mobs. So, fuck Vulak and AoW if you don't want to do it.
I think that people are going to see more successful small raid guilds on this server than you have ever seen on any other server before.
Put together a 15 to 20 man guild, and that's all you need to get every bit of best in slot gear in the game. Fuck DKP systems. Fuck raid attendance. Fuck all that bullshit. You and your ACTUAL friends can accomplish everything on this server, and the true neckbeards can go fuck off because they don't have any effect on your small guild of friends.
Bravo Darkpaw Games. Bravo.
