Default Class R

Can we at least test this idea out? It's a hell of a write up. This gives class R two guaranteed VP dragon on sim repop. It's better than class C getting all VP dragons and a total of 4 FFA targets outside of VP.
Class r wants vp merbs now.. Shouldn't it be class r wants to move to class c... wasn't that the incentive of making VP class c only?

I personally can't wait until everything is FFA in velious. I personally don't enjoy the rotation that class R guilds agreed to in January. That being said, I think there might be 2 class R guilds that could possibly get FTE on a dragon in VP and have the numbers to kill it.

I've always felt that class R guilds were the feeder system for class C (where people get experience on some raid mobs before making the jump). I think removing FFA or class R kills would increase competition and make the game more enjoyable.

Anyone saying something along these lines hasn't been on this server very long.

I started in 2011 and I was around when the server was dominated by 1 guild. I truly believe the content from velious will make it hard to monopolize content in both kunark and velious during repops and earthquakes. When everything had no variance this only added to that. I just don't enjoy waiting my turn to kill dragons. However, this is what I signed up for when I decided on a class R guild and I don't regret it a bit. Some of my fondest memories of everquest was raiding previous expansion content that was neglected by the top guilds on the server. I would imagine that dragons that give medallions for sleepers tomb will be first priority for the first 3-6 months followed by sleepers tomb mobs once enough people are keyed. The only thing I am worried about if everything is FFA a year from now is top guilds killing all factions in velious for loot.

I should add that sirken said that everything will be FFA on velious launch until they are able to determine if lockouts will be necessary. I would not that burden if I was a GM and I am confident that if lockouts are necessary things will rotate twice between class R and FFA instead of class C, R and FFA shortly after Velious launch.

If content gets monopolized I could see a Class R and FFA rotation between velious content outside of Sleepers Tomb and Necklace mobs within a year. All kunark mobs would still be FFA, outside of fear/hate revamps in the future. A kill in Sleepers would promote a guild to the FFA cycle. In kunark this might sound like punishment outside TMO/IB right now, but with the increase of raid mobs I could see ToV supporting several guilds every single repop.

Raid targets being FFA sounds completely awful. Guilds like IB/TMO will do everything in their power to control as much raid content as humanly possible. We're talking about people that have entire squads of lvl 52 chars camped out fully buffed waiting for 4 AM batphone to kill nag/vox. Does anybody really think FFA Velious won't be absolutely retarded?

I'm all for FFA in theory. But in practice it's going to suck unless your guild tag says "Inglourious Basterds" imo.
