In live it seemed to always be more of a race to get to 60 than an actual race to get mobs if I recall. I mean just look at the expansion release timeline.
The Ruins of Kunark 2000 April 24
The Scars of Velious 2000 December 5
The Shadows of Luclin 2001 December 4
Like damn, there was only 7 months from Kunark being released to Velious dropping, and then 1 year until Shadows of Luclin. There's a reason why not a ton of players had epics before Velious; they didn't have guides on mobs or quests either. This server existing since 2009 with all information already available is what has made the raid scene unplayable for a lot of people. Unfortunately, unless you play on a Emu server with just a few of your friends, you probably will never have a similar raid scene to classic.
A relaunch server in the future might help things, but there's still too much information available on how to best use all mechanics in the game for there to ever be a classic raid scene in the original EverQuest trilogy again.

Thank you and this is the truth of the matter. In 2001 You had 2-3 guilds on the server I played on competing for the same content then you had other guilds that would compete for other content. But you never had the lower tier guilds demanding to be able to kill NToV and ST. But that was because they weren't geared out like the top tier guilds. Here the expansions have gone on a while so the gear is more dispersed. The people who learned all of the encounters have already posted guides and told friends and others how to do the encounters so there is no learning.
Now don't take this as me bashing the staff or anything they had a dogs dinner to work with trying to get the classic out of the changes that have been made to velious over the years and they did a good job. At this point we should just enjoy what they have done for us and themselves. But that doesn't mean we cannot come up with ideas to improve things. Also it shouldn't be the decision of 6-10 ppl alone to voice and make. That is why this thread is here.
