  1. completely obsolete interview.

    It was to be published on Tuesday, but then there was this other news you might have heard of involving ProSiebenSat?

    Equilibrium on Antonia Bayle cleared Vallon HM WW #1
    Validus on Splitpaw cleared Vallon HM WW #2
    Revelations on Butcherblock cleared Vallon HM WW #3

  2. Awesome to hear that guilds are pushing into PoW. Thanks for holding off on posting this until that ProSiebanSat stuff had calmed down, it was a pleasure to hear something good coming for once in a few weeks.

  3. Yes, it is good to hear some good news. COngrats to all of those guilds that got the first, second, and third kills. Curious as to how fast it might have happened if SoE would have been quicker solving broken or bugged issues.

    My eyes literally bugged outta my head when I read the raiding times. That is some serious committment. I dont think my eyeballs or my ass could handle it, never mind the fact that I have go to work and make a living for me and my fammily.

  4. “We raid 22 hours a week on a PST schedule (6 hours Sunday, 4 hours Mon-Thur). We have players from all walks of life, working all sorts of different jobs. Sure, we have people going to school that play a lot”
    Lol. People in school that play a lot? Sounds like you all do.

  5. Ya theres nothing wrong with playing that much, but its kind of strange saying people with jobs ONLY log in for raids. 22 hours of raids is more then i play a week and i dont even raid lol.

  6. I raid 12 hours a week, certainly not competing for ww rankings, but you can see and do alot of eq2 content with a 9-12 hr / week raiding schedule.

    My guild runs multiple raid forces, and we have raiders who play less than 6 hours / wk and still raid and have cleared all EM content.

    Stereotypes about raiding are largely unfounded.

  7. @ Daniel “Lol. People in school that play a lot? Sounds like you all do.”

    Most people that call themselves casual on my friends list and tell me that they don’t have time for HM raiding, are usually logged on for more then I am.

  8. I raid officially 9 hours a week, back in the EQ1 days – my late days were pretty hard core – 6 days a week and often over 5 hours per raid – often raided close to 36 hours a week.

    I’m not saying thats suggested – however 22 hours isn’t all that bad for that kind of success level.

  9. Nice interview – tak!
    And thanks to Arabels guild for contributing to a lot af the class forums on Eq2flames, those forums would be rather bleak without your dedicated players contributions 🙂
