Test Crusade: 2009!

[Uhaen]

Last Friday while doing parses, the collective (read: non-afk) population of people in channel thought it would be fun to test-copy over and start smiting each other in the Arena. This was obviously an ill-laid plan, as the majority of the people who hang in the paladin channel are paladins. Missing this step in logic and later discovering our flaw with 40-minute no-win scenario duels, we eventually got bored (it did take a few duels, first) and decided to find some undead targets to hit up. We decided on Draygun, and we went to go whack 'em. We failed at about 47%, with 4 paladins and a few boxes; about 2 groups total. That's when I looked at the clock and realized it was a good 3 hours past my bed time, and we decided to try again another time.

That time is now. Well, once we decide which day said time should be; we still have to work out a day/time. But I am extending to you all a formal invitation to join us on the Test server for the sole purpose of finding fun old-school raid targets, that are trivial to many of us in the sense that we can gather a good three groups and ravage the entire zone, but still hard enough that it requires effort and attendance.

Purpose:

When we raided/grouped Draygun, even though we failed we had a blast. Everyone involved said they would come again without question, and when we talked about it on a later date in paladin channel I saw a huge approval rating, and many suggested inviting more people to come play. Doing this on test offers us several benefits: we are able to meet up with some of the people we've talked with over the years, cost-free because this is almost a free server-transfer; we're able to see others in action, and learn from them new patterns and can better our own characters and play styles; and of course, we can have parse contests and make pie charts. Everybody loves parse contests and pie charts. The biggest reason has already been stated, however: this was some of the most fun I've had in a long time, I was giggling throughout the entire raid.

Targets:

As paladins, we all know our live dps sucks. Badly. But, our undead dps is a lot more fun; there's nothing like seeing 10 paladins on Vule battling each other for the high score, and the string of 20k slays in the chat window. Imagine seeing 30 paladins or more destroying your log file! Our targets are subject to change, and most welcoming of suggestions; included are Draygun, Vergalid, FC1/FC2. I'm willing to bet altogether, we have the ability to request any raid in EQ, so don't be shy.

Loot:

Don't even ask, you silly goose. I'll personally see to your smiting in the arena from all the other paladins, and we will petition for Sony to /surname you to 'Poopinmier'. You will be lol'd at for generations to come, and we will do to your character's name as we did to John's ever-so long ago: use it as a synonym for 'toilet'.



All classes are welcome; boxes are welcome too, and it's simple to join us. Read Normy's post here: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=6466 on information regarding switching over to test. And vote on a day, so we can see what everyone will agree with; we will discuss times for the most popular days, but I don't want to get the polls all complicated.

I am bristle.Uhaen of Club Fu, and you can send me a [tell anytime with questions or suggestions, or even to make fun of my dress. As well, serverwide.paladins is open to everybody, and you can come chat with us there.

I have no ending for this, so leave some input!

This is only interesting if you run 100% paladin-only raids.

[shiftie]

thats the intention as discussed in serverwide last night

[Freezah_Xegony]

I knew Uhaen would find a way to make me register for this site. But ya that was alot of fun on test until I decided to afk for the other half and miss the real fun. Wasn't to fun watching a sk run around arena while you were chasing him =p okok I lied it was pretty funny.

Can count on me being there.

I'd make an attempt to be there, as long as it doesn't interfere with my guilds raids (I'm part-time raid leader, so I kinda need to make those).

[Remdayen]

Count me in, sounds like lots of fun.
