Yeah, personas almost certainly live on your "character file" which that file being large is a major contributor to zone times. That being said, early era personas are likely to not meaningfully increase zone time--the character file has to get pretty "fat" before it really slows zoning down...

I do notice the guy so concerned Faceless was going to implode from bad morale because we lost OW Sev the other day doesn't seem to have similar concerns about a guild that socked Trakanon for 6 hours only to lose it. Weird huh.

The thing is, at some point are you a guild or are you a gear farming crew? They aren't 100% the same thing. I can't think of an MMO guild scenario where my goal would be to not at least clear all the raid content. Maybe it makes sense afterward to do things like deeper splits of Kael where you...

Yeah that could be true, I hadn't considered it since I am about as anti-ST 1.0 as it gets. I think it is stupid. The loot is stupid. The waking is stupid. Everything about it is bad / dumb. I would literally get erect if DPG said "hey we consider ST 1.0 a special event back in the year 2001...

Point of order: killing AoW at day 12 is actually fairly bad, the only real scenario I can imagine for it is if a raiding guild in that era simply had like 2-3 warriors and no others. Most servers I have done even some of the fairly casual guilds get an AoW down in the first week. Now certainly...

Zaide already posted a pic of your batphone, you guys phoned a sock before we did. It isn't really in dispute. Jokert also has openly said you guys "sock everything." No reason not to own it, you guys want to sock shit we've killed uncontested for 10 days (and then lose dramatically), more...

Vulak is canonically the end boss of Velious, because Sleeper isn't a boss you kill, just one you trigger by killing 4 dragon warders who aren't particularly hard, and lore wise Vulak is positioned as the Velious boss. On a weird server where a lower tier guild kills the first Vulak but then...

This is the way frankly, the # of people I have seen burn themselves out and even develop weird real life problems trying to attend every batphone is high. No guild should be based on you individually making every batphone. Attend what you can IMO. Where I'm running a guild on live and not...

I'm coming from a place of experience running multiple TLP guilds (I notice you refused to answer which Teek guild you are in, telling.) I actually never got more grief from my own guildies than when I decided not to batphone something. Not 100% sure how your "15 years experience on WoW" inform...

Where is the "over and over", dude? How many events do you think have happened. You realize you are talking about 1 60 second incident, right? There is virtually no impact to morale if you're trading off OW kills, I assure you. When was the last time you were actually in an OW raid racing...

I was raiding on live when it went down (I actually still run a live guild as my main EQ thing), but my understanding is both guilds were actually in PoSKy OW when Sev spawned. Faceless was on Bee Island just doing a clear up to get people keyed etc, RI was I believe on Spiroc island (maybe...

When was the last time you actually played a TLP? I can assure you it just doesn't work that way. If your information is coming from these forums, where I think only a few people who really involve themselves in these guilds posts, you just aren't working with correct intel. OW TLP stuff in...

It isn't, actually. Amtrak lost DPS races to us all the time on Selo and it was fine for them, they still won a lot too. You realize when you do more than a couple TLPs that that is how OW raiding works. It is always more respectable to at least show up and try. This rhetoric is like Fippy /...

Not sure what that means. Any target you don't show up for you lose by default. OW guilds lose anytime another guild gets loot, doesn't matter if you "showed up" or not. That has been the governing rule of EQ since 1999.

I think the items are bad for game balance purposes, but I think everyone saying they are bad for server health are dead wrong. The one singular lesson, going back to the first AoC server (Phinigel) to today, is every change that has made the TLP game more casual friendly and easier, has been...
