They didn't have a server of 1000s of level 60s though. That is the primary difference.
5-10 guilds on this server could, if given a day or two, kill a few NToV Dragons.
On live though, each server only had 2-3 capable of doing so and they would stick to certain factions often times, so 1 guild went giant and 1 went dragon for example. So they rarely competed for the same targets.
I agree that players figuring out the best way to do things is great, but the problem is so many are capable of killing raid targets on this server that it boils down to who is willing to spend the most time waiting around for a mob to spawn. That to me is dumb. That's why variance has always been dumb (and not classic).
The thing I miss the most about raiding on other EQ servers was my guilds would have raid nights, starting at 6:30 or 8:30, then we'd send some Rangers and Druids to random zones, see what is up, and then raid for 2-3 hours and camp for the night. Do this maybe 2-3-4 times a week, and be happy with ourselves.
I don't see that ever happening on P99 so long as guilds remain as huge as they are and people have such lust for their pixels.
But maybe eventually a few more guilds will follow in Rampage's footsteps and quit and the server may be left with a situation that allows that to occur.

Yep. Can't agree with everything but respect your viewpoint. This server needed a split off a long time ago to another viable server. People just have the 1 option for the gameplay P99 presents. in 2001 they had a lot of servers.
