    What a momentous occasion, and with only 2 weeks of practice! Original Gangster Club, with the support of Rosengard III and Resolute came together and downed the hardest raid in Everquest. Making us the 13th guild ever to clear Mearatas in era, and the 1st ever on a TLP!

    Cheers Phinigel... You God damn legends.

    The best challenge we've had yet in OGC. The event was incredibly fulfilling to beat in era.

    Thank you all for the incredible experience. It was truly an honor.

    A well deserved congrats ... but ... you aren't the 6th guild in era.

    According to EGL, 12 guilds finished Mearatas before ToV launch. And you certainly benefited from all the nerfs that happened to the event during 2019.

    The raid is still a great benchmark for coordination and teamwork. You certainly had different pressures to get it done. Congrats again.

    ...but what the heck ... moving from the middle during the 100-85 phase ... man up and take the meatball!

    LOL I edited it, had a bit of misinformation! Still a tremendous achievement. Congrats OGC, and those that supported <3

    The flagging needs to be fixed, we only had 2 weeks of mearatas before tov

  11. AtabishiWoW Second best guild leader you'll ever have

    OGC is the FIRST and ONLY guild to finish Mearatas in my heart.....
    And to me, my heart is all that matters.

    Grats Dima and OGC crew, #1 guild the TLP's have ever produced.

    I've never heard a cheer go up in voice chat like the one we got when this happened. Last night of TBL and we made it just in time with the buzzer-beater.

    I think it's worth noting though that the tiny amount of time we had to do it compared to live guilds somewhat offsets the nerfs on the scale of the achievement. I've got zero doubt that if we had another 10-ish months in TBL to gear up and learn the event, we could have beaten a harder version of the fight as well. The time crunch was especially brutal in this case.

    P.S. Someone put Playboi Carti over Froogle's Grandpa music in that video.

    I know you are jazzed up from winning. And you should be.

    But please don't try to compare the scale of difficulty between winning a twice nerfed event that has ample video recordings in order to properly plan an assault versus what 3 guilds ~150 players were able to accomplish in two months (not 10) for a raid without foreknowledge (at least MS never saw anything in Beta past 85 percent cause it was broke). The raid was HARD pre-nerf. You can watch the videos from pre-nerf vs first nerf and just tell how much easier things are. And then it was nerfed again.

    It's still a hard raid. It's still a great accomplishment.

    I am amazed at the level of coordination and dedication to shorten raid schedules on the almost current TLPs. The top guild(s) on Selos and Phinny are very good. Saying you could have done as well as those who did defeat it on Live pre-nerf ... I think that might be a bit boastful.

    Don't rain on their parade, man. They beat it in era with less gear and less familiarity with their characters than the Live guilds.

    Congrats!

    Hell yeh good job guys

    Wish they would fix flagging from EOK and on (especially TBL) especially since the hardest expacs are 8 week expacs theres a serious time crunch and you go in with hodgepodge gear.
