Go full custom content mode. Hear me out:

Sounds extreme right? It's a modern solution that allows everyone to raid regardless of guild tag.
This is far too much overhead, coding, and organization to realistically expect to happen. Plus the "cOmPeTiTiOn" crowd would lose their shit, and keep in mind Rog is on record saying he wants a competitive raid scene.

Quaking every respawn spreads out the opportunities for mobs, reduces GM workloads, eases but doesn't eliminate the toe-to-toe guild conflict, and encourages a more classic feel in the raid scene by encouraging a bit more actual mobilization and target prioritization rather than simply logging in your parks one target at a time.

As someone else mentioned, there were very frequent server resets, much more than we get quakes. If the idea with quakes is to simulate server downtime then ideally we should be quaking every Tuesday at 1PM eastern or some shit. I recall the devs out in Calilfornia bringing servers down for maintenance on weekday mornings. If there was downtime on weekends or primetime it was emergency server issues.

Obviously a Saturday/Sunday or even Friday night schedule would make more sense for our raid meta, but it would still approximate classic raiding better than armies of 60's and bots socking sixteen hour windows all week long.

For sure. Everyone in this thread talking about non-ToFS business needs to chill.

No one is going to remember who killed Vulak in a particular month. It's like crying about raid shit is more fun than actually playing the game with their friends.

They need to relax and explore the best dungeon that P99 has to offer.

Back on topic. I managed to drag a corpse down from 3rd floor to 1st yesterday. I also managed to swarm the 2nd floor for PLing.

3rd floor is super chill for soloers. Most of the mobs are kind enough to hang out in their own rooms for easy solo pulls. 6th floor too actually.

Except when we hear about "Vulak mem blur" like every single day.

Not an attack but I think you missed the subtle joke there in my long-winded, over complicated solution... the final part of my statement was simply along the lines of, "stop being shitty, and we wont need to do all this custom nonsense" - That requires 0 coding, and minimal effort. Heebs answered it immediately though; anything requiring people to not be turds is doomed for failure.

I will remove the tag from my characters the next time I log on.
