the only problem i see with a full server repop on these random "patch days" would be how it would affect the non-raiding portion of the community. it would be kind of unfair to repop zones where people are xping and disrupt their groups by having the whole zone repop on them. this would lead to many people dying in bad spots and ultimately lots of petitions for GM rezzes. i think the random repops should be kept exclusively to raid mobs that way the entire server doesnt have to grind to a halt because of the raid mobs spawning.

These people will be given an opportunity to leave the area before server comes down, no? Or would the server not come down first?

I don't believe the repopping applies to anything other than raid mobs.

even with notice it will still put alot of people in a bad spot, i just dont really see the need to repop the whole server when its just raid mobs that are in question. even if they have to stop what they are doing and go log in a safe spot till server comes back up its still disrupting will often lead to groups(or portions of them) just calling it. who is to say what is better tho, a full repop falls more in line with classic so its really just up for debate until we can see a few of em happen and have some evidence to work with

as far as loot and timers are concerned i say leave the loot tables unchanged but reset timers on all kills, whether its from a repop or normal spawn if the mob gets killed the timer should reset

A serverwide message will go off indicating that the simulated patch day respawn has or will be taking effect shortly. All raid mobs will (either immediately, delayed, or spanned, tbd) respawn.

a few people have expressed that they think it should be a full server repop, i was merely addressing those people. i guess thats what quotes are for lol

Okay, sorry. I guess I skipped over some context. I kept seeing people arguing against non-raid-mob repops, didn't notice anyone arguing for it.

Anything to address the denial of content is a good thing. Skeptical that this solution will make a dent in it. Some players simply have nothing better to do than gear alts or RMT. Doubling the amount of spawns means these players can do it twice as fast. Is implementing raid tokens (with lockout timers) THAT difficult?

There seems to be little difference between raid tokens and instanced encounters imo and the vast majority of the server seems opposed to instances.

The vast majority of TMO may be against it. I'm sure it would be tough to see people beating content with 12 people that takes them 40. I think I've seen one or maybe two non TMO come out against instanced content / tokens. I guess we'll find out which system is more popular if the Sleeper server ever launches.
