Idea to stop all the fighting
Just a crazy idea to stop the fighting on the blue server. Why not have PoF, PoS, PoH, and VP be instants. For the instants each guild that is able to handle an area would get 1 instance per zone a week. That way the smaller guilds would stand a chance at gods also. All dragons would be FFA. Now on server crashes where it is a full pop those are all FFA. I personally think this would make Amenlinda's life easier. Instead of listening to everyone fight then having to pick a side. I think this should be strongly considered i don't see how it couldn't benefit everyone. Good hunting to all.

Instances do not fit in the open world scheme that was classic eq. More end game encounters is probably what's needed. It just requires more work than instances. But new content is never a bad thing! Instances can be a bad thing if they're over-used because it's not new. A lockout timer for individual characters and a quicker spawn rate might work. If you've killed a particular endgame dragon, for example, and your lockout timer is still active, you cannot get credit for its kill or loot it. So you can't do a ninja steal, nor can you loot in someone else's place. An additional measure might be to prevent any attacks on the target for which you have a locket timer active. Further measures can be looked at as the situation becomes clearer. This would virtually eliminate guilds camping a target just for a few members who don't have the locket timer active. This also makes it easier to schedule raids because players don't have to fight their own natural impulse to kill a endgame target (in order to satisfy a server schedule). For example, if we just killed Inny and he quickly spawns again and we're able to get him, a server schedule that prohibits us from doing so feels weak. A lockout timer, on the other hand, doesn't have any give, so it won't feel weak. The quicker spawn rate is necessary to keep the population satisfied. I think that server schedules are themselves a weak solution to a big problem. First, they're a potential sign that content is not meeting the needs of players. I say potential because a game might intend raids to only be a small part of the full game. But if players feel such a need to create server schedules, this hints that they're not content with raiding being a small part of the game, but it could also mean that the rest of the game does not meet its design goals. Second, they force players to work together in a way that's not welcome. Lockout timers can restrict the traffic and remove the need for the player community to do it themselves. This is critical. Players should not have to measure their game, that's the responsibility of the game itself. For example, if warriors are short on the server and players are supposed to know this in order to make more warriors to compensate, this is just bad management of the game. If warriors are short then this can be solved entirely on the development side. Forcing players to pick up the slack is making them do the developer's job. I made a post about raiding on p1999 a little while back: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...&postcount=162

NOT CLASSIC!!!
Instancing is one idea i've seen games use another is items that trigger raid monsters / events... these items are usually rare / require lengthy quests to obtain not that i'd expect anything like that to be implemented on P99 lol | ||

IMO not everyone deserves to see endgame content in a game. If you cant make it to the boss in your guild. Might think about helping your guild get better so you can get there or go play a bottlefed game where anyone with 2iq and 1 finger can kill the last boss in the game. goodbye and goodluck
