Curious what the field looks like now with Velious out.

Velious launched here almost 2 years ago so the field has changed just in this expansion alone. <Rampage> dominated most of Velious before waking the Sleeper 15 months ago.

I think Rampage got 25 of the first 25 Vulak's and 37 of the first 40 Zlandicars before Forsaken (and sometimes Forsaken/Asgard/Taken alliance) gained traction, causing burnout by Rampage members and a desire to wake the Sleeper and move on with life.
When that happened, many Rampage decided to quit the game or slowly fade away from P99. For the Rampage that wanted to keep raiding Velious content, <Awakened> was formed by non-officers of Rampage alongside <Taken> which merged the remaining players from those guilds together.
Aftermath and Awakened have the most players showing up and are the most willing to no-life P99 content in 2017, and this hasn't changed over the last year or so. They can each get 50-70+ people online within an hours' time during prime time hours, and they still batphone raids at 4am or 11am on a Tuesday.
Rustle has many ex-Rampage/IB hardcore types combined with newer raiders, but the guild is smaller in numbers so they pick and choose what they go for and when they go for it. They are more willing to compete for harder targets/zones than smaller guilds, but they make sure to limit the poopsocking.
Anon, CSG, Venerate, FOH, and others make up the rest. They have plenty to raid, but are far less likely to be seen poopsocking a starting line than A/A. They also get to slaughter Kunark on top of their Velious raids. If you don't want to treat P99 raiding like an on-call job, this is where most people find home.
There is still no Class C/R/FFA rotation for Velious. That has been substituted by GMs suspending A/A every couple of weeks for "violations" and letting the other guilds have at it.
