You could have several guilds in there at one time killing PHs hoping the next spawn would spawn the trigger mob for them.

I don't think you've thought that through very well...

How is RZ (a random spawned mob) to a euro raiding guild's time advantage? Let's take patch day as an example...
1) Servers up at oh let's say 6:00AM PST
2) "Euro" guild starts raiding at let's say 7/8AM PST
3) Let's pretend on this patch day RZ spawns randomly between 6-10PM PST

That's still plenty of time for a few good shots at learning the fight. Now it isn't the "Euro" Guild's fault that you choose to run off and do something else or take one shot at it and call it quits BUT the "Euro" Guild will not SLACK the next morning as you have.

BTW - I live in the US and I'm not Native American... Does that make me European too?

The logic in this thread dictates that you are no longer an American but instead a dirty Eye-talian. Good day sir.

I said GOOD DAY.

BTW, what the fuck do you do stationed in Italy? That sounds hella sweet. I mean, what exactly goes on in Italy? I think I too would like to be stationed in Italy. I'd be banging Italian babes left and right and consuming assloads of pasta and wine. For Country!

Ya that conflict in italy is explosive

Iannis · 01-20-2003, 01:19 PM

io capisco italiano!

uhm, what furor said. except i'd be scampering around looking at all the big artsy fartsy stuff too...

What the fuck do you post something like this for bird. You must have wanted a hug or something. There are easier ways to get called a moron by a couple hundred people that dont even know you then to post something no one gives a shit about here. Hell you could have told me you were going to and Id have saved you the trouble.

Thicket · 01-20-2003, 01:56 PM

Actually I can not complain about living in Italy. There is stuff you miss about the states but food wine and no speed limit on the autostradas is very cool. Amazingly less accidents here for no speed limit for the most part too. But being we have 2 fighter wings here and closer to the desert than you think(about 6 hours flying time) alot is going on here.

EQ sucks....

Why hasn't Verant enabled random spawn timers with Pop?

A)Their pyscologists think if Americans are mad about this unfairness, they will continue to complain and try to get Verant to change it. This results in people playing EQ evenmore, even if they hate it. Or something along those lines...there is reverse pyscology for everything. I read somewhere that verant has a whole team of pyscologists that try to figure out ways to keep EQ addictive as possible. Making it fun is not their goal. Keeping it addictive is. QUIT BEING THEIR Guinea Pigs! QUIT EQ.

B)The number of foreigners i.e. non-American players, has significantly declined. Verant wants to attract these foreigners back and by doing this, their predictions are also that very few Americans will quit. Basically by removing the random timers, they will make more money.

Everything goes back to making maximum profit. Economics 101.

Pyrosprial · 01-20-2003, 04:53 PM

fuck u euro. down with europe omg

arax_luminarium · 01-20-2003, 04:57 PM

Mahhahhh WEll what have I learnt from this thread??

1: A bunch of Ceptics have no idea where Australias and New Zealand is.
2: The poster has a bigger cock then everybody else, and wants to prove it.
3: RZ is a train fest zone, (if not now. it shure will be).
4: cockblocking seems to be in fassion.
4: look back at point nuber 2.

Ahh the fun of it all.

Bobleclair · 01-20-2003, 05:03 PM

Well u will be on a 100% european server guys u will scream and eat a bol of dick everysingle days u play EQ :
- everyone playing at the same time server overcamped
- guilds fight train ks ... GM despwaning named to resolve trouble (hi AB)
- Racing everysingle named with the 6 or more 'high end' guilds and not talking about trials blowed all around hehe
- ...

And ur only hope will be to have separate time guilds and play on an international server

JaegerMeister · 01-20-2003, 06:12 PM

its a game. if its too hot in the fucking kitchen get out.

Im an Australian, Patches begin for me at 10pm (yes right smack bang in the middle of my play time) and finish about 2am - 3 am.
you know why Aussies and NZ Guilds are beating your stupid asses to kills after patches?

yes thats right, because we fucking sit up and wait til the fucking patch is over at 3am, we log in and fucking kill until we go to work, you think there is sleep involved?

maybe if you worked for something then you'll fucking get it, wankers. you friggin Americans think everything should be put in your laps, that everyone should go out of their way, and that things should be tuned just for you. let me tell you losers, its not going to happen. Hell your even willing to Fire rockets at a somewhat underdeveloped country to get your oil delivered to your door, America, land of the free, and Land of the most lazy motherfuckers in the world.

Aedryn · 01-20-2003, 06:32 PM

If they patched during US times then the US would whine they can't play, if they patch in Peak Aussie time (3am US) then the US whines that mobs don't spawn at the right time for them .......either way the US whine.....so they please the masses by patching at 3am as only a small percentage will be affected by the upper end spawn time issues. For example when you used to be able to see the numbers of people per server Veeshan where I play would have around 2000-2500 people playing........why would they want to piss off 1900 people to please 100 raiders??

They think terms of money....the 1900 people pay the way not the elite 100 raiders.
