It just seems to me that this promotes unhealthy habits when it comes to this server. It is, however, their server I suppose.

I could argue that there are quite a few differences between this server and classic in a cultural sense. The purpose of this server was to recreate p99 gameplay. There's no real reason we should recreate the negative cultural aspects of the original.

Also, if I recall correctly, Prexus had a very successful raiding schedule at this point in the game, with every guild participating.

No server had Venril Sathir being tagged <5 seconds after spawn and killed <2minutes after spawn.

None. Anywhere. At all.

That's the stupidity. 16 hour variance with CotHing and multiple trackers the whole time. So dumb.

Reduce to 30-60 min variance, put in place foot racing rules for outdoor dragons, and clearing rules for Vox/Naggy/VS/Trakanon, and Planar mobs just remain "zone in after they spawn".

VP you can keep your favorite rules with 16 hour wall staring and whatnot. He'll give VP mobs 96 hour variance if you want I dun care. That's up to Class C.

It wasn't one server. Karana had a rotation, Terris-Thule had decency.

However, there is nothing classic about p99 raid situation, and there is no reason to copy horrible classic situations.

And those people should be relentlessly suspended and eventually banned if they don't stop socking.

It's really simple. Make a rule that says you can only have 3 players in zone when it spawns. Otherwise you are DQ'd. If people are socking on the other side of a zone line, suspend them too. (Allow for a few outside to be camping or buffing then camping but entire groups waiting over zone lines should earn suspensions).

No, it isn't. This position is taken by nearly every one in the C guilds and it is simply ridiculous. Nilbog has made it very clear that P1999 is here to replicate classic mechanics over classic feel. This is why we have epic mage/donals bp cleric teams tearing stuff up, massive mallet/bladestopper exploits, hybrids unable to get a group, etc.

On live, the top guilds were limited simply because there were not all that many L60 toons: with Kunark lasting 8 months, figuring out game mechanics and quests, more lag etc it was just much harder. It is different here.
