I would be surprised if the raid rules were any different current Blue's raid rules.

I actually have the opposite opinion of yours with regards to Blue. I would rather Green become the competitive environment, and Blue be turned the casual Oasis. Blue has been running for 10 years. 5 years or so post-Velious. What is the draw to competition there at this point? Everyone is so over-geared for the era.
This has been discussed ad nauseum here (google past threads). There may have been one brief universal rotation system, but for the most part it varied heavily on which server you were on.

Some classic GMs instituted rotations and some didn't. They tended to be only for "2nd tier" raiding content: you didn't see Veeshan's Peak or Sleeper's Tomb rotated in classic times, but you did you see Vox and Naggy on some servers (and then on a lot more shortly thereafter in Luclin; my server Bristlebane was one of those).

But again, on many servers there were never any rotations at all: it's one of those things where each nerd has their own memory, and everyone loves to argue that everyone else's memory is wrong. Again, see past threads [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
