Ideas we are talking about are giving enough of a warning, anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. We are also discussing the automatic teleport to the zone's safe coordinates or zone in location.

Personally, I do not think this should happen.

-Respawning of npcs - classic? check.
-Catching up on missing spawns due to lack of patches - classic? check.
-Teleporting people or moving them against their will - do not like.

I would rather disconnect everyone and have them able to rejoin than move them.
Bring server down, put everyone camped in dungeons at the safespot buffless, including people who camped ahead of time.

While I generally agree with Nilbog on everything classic related, the raiding scene here is very much non classic. Back in the days, nobody was paying for 3-4 accounts in order to have a 60 alt camped off at every raid spawn + a 52s at vox and naggy.

If the downtime is announced far enough ahead of time, like it was in classic, it should not hinder non-raiders any more than it did back then. If its really needed, log where people were before the move in case of a camp dispute.
