Top guilds are usually defined by their ability to accomplish two things, clear content first and monopolize available content. The speed you are able to clear content defines your ability to get a server first. Doing it as fast as possible is a natural progression from this point.

The thing is TLP servers have no competition and really they never have. Sleeper/Combine were barely progression servers and deciding who was the best came down to which guild used the better MQ2 compile at the time. In all subsequent TLP servers the server was over before launch. "Top Guild" advertised, people saw it and most serious players joined it. The alternatives were either casual guilds or the one guild ran by a guy who is on a 19 year losing streak.

What I'm getting at here is that becoming the "Top Guild" on a TLP server is a foregone conclusion. Weeks before launch everyone knows who will be the top guild, they will never face any serious existential competition and they will only fail as a result of internal issues like loot drama, leadership turnover or massive attrition.

Since server firsts are automatic, the only motivation I can find to push my players and continue leading guilds on these servers is just to try to do it faster than the last time. I don't fool myself into believing anyone else cares about that. I care about it, it's what motivates me personally, it's just a goal I have for myself which I then impose upon my guilds.

I applaud you guys who can go into every new TLP server with no other goal other than beating the same content, and beating the same guild that you've beaten on repeat for the last 11 years. Personally, I need to create additional goals for myself to stay motivated and to really enjoy these.

I get it now, I was really confused by Mealin and random tells in the past about not being the best because we don't have the time record. It's hard to hit these metrics TLP guilds make we have never even heard about or knew more than 1 guild targets them. Trust I know getting people to play is a full time job in itself, so I understand why people make their own ways to have fun. Most guilds on the servers we play on have their own ones as well OGC does the server first split with 1 warrior per raid or something with splits, MiM has the instance first kills with low numbers etc. His name is Drubar or something someone said? Something with a D.

M Mwapo we kicked him out for autism, for example during Velious he threw a fit we didn't let him have a BoC to tank for his groups exping. As you said he was always one of those idiots trying to get people worked up and piss people off.

We plan on making guilds for a 20th anniversary server or if an FV ruleset TLP gets announced. We will be going all in with either of those scenarios, anyone who wants to measure up against the TL / AoS core would be welcome to come join us.

58-60 was the best I could get from First and Astral, I'd love to have logs or screenshots though, I like to track these things.
[Wed Feb 01 17:07:34 2017] <SYSTEMWIDE_MESSAGE>:The barrier to new lands is weakening. New adventures await you when the barrier to the Legacy of Ykesha finally falls.
[Fri Feb 03 21:52:48 2017] <SYSTEMWIDE_MESSAGE>: Quarm has been defeated by a group of hardy adventurers! Please join us in congratulating Qelyn along with everyone else who participated in this achievement!

So 52hours 45mins, roughly!

Also, confirmed I was the one that finally axed Mealin out of AoS, and I sometimes miss my random spoilers.

I can confirm that i am not Malaki, although two decades ago when generating a random name I'm sure that one came up but was already taken.

Dannin would like to know if your loyalty still lies with the Othmir Empire? I hope your eating well, I haven't checked in on your eating lately.

I didn't give you a time at all when you asked me.

Also First isn't around much and has been that way since the server launched. That probably has something to do with you getting all the clear times for Phinigel wrong.

Not that any of this matters. Comparing servers that have drastically different xp rates, mechanics and levels of competition is fairly meaningless.




We're keeping Bobby well fed although he has let himself go lately.

/Salute Othmir General, please keep him full of gas station burgers and tendies. I hope he's still not feasting on Abe bacon lol, we just died laughing about that again in Discord.

It's true, about half the guild eats like they're still 14 years old. I mention I had a nice piece of fish or chicken and a salad and people think I'm some kind of alien.

God why did I read this. My life is just stuck in an endless tlp loop. I felt a strong pull and was like NOoooooOoO. Real talk though super disappointed I didnt get to do pop launch damnit. If there was some good multi guild battle royale action I might be willing to throw my hat in the ring but we know that doesn’t happen anymore. You get an alpha and a few beta guilds

You got some Recruit necro in your guild suicide training people in the elemental planes. Bonestealer? killing people in BoT Air Sol Ro and others. Just running into mobs and dying.

Think he caught rabies or something.

He did this in BoT to my group for about 60+ minutes last night. He don' goofed too hard. Not good at accidentally training and worse at hiding his SEQ use.

He's ain't gon make it. RIP him and his 3-4 boxes. We already submitted video of him doing it.

He has been training people like that since classic. We used to deal with him at Magus all the time.

Yea I seem to remember the name bonestealer causing a lot of grief throughout each expansion so far. Really surprised he's still standing. Sorry to hear you guys have had to put up with his shenanigans

Unrelated. I was so excited to get 62 for the mage spell hand of ixiblat(sp?). (Never played PoP before). Figured all my box pets would be doing God's work at 220dmg per proc....nope, maybe like 70-120dmg it seems...

You quit right before Drillisen, Zama, and I formed the SK murder squad. Even though you, Zama, and I prevented more trains in our Kael raids than I have seen in my entire EQ life =p. Your still by far one of the best Enchanters we have ever raided with, and one of the best shadowknights too. I def hope we get to play something together again with you guys. I know Hoodrich hangs out in Discord with Drillisen, I need to hit him up and keep in touch.
