1) change 96hr windows (the dumbest idea ever thought up) and shorten it to 18hrs.
2) add weekly/bi-weekly server repops.
3) watch things go from boring to fun.

I seriously can't believe that no changes have been made to make p99 fun, except that I know Nilbog and Rogean are using p99 as a guinea pig. Seeing what a gamer will and won't do is kinda funny.

This has been discussed a million times, and the answer is linked respawns, which transfer competition from 'fastest jav in the west' type poopsocking and 'most chars logged in on the ledge' type batphoning to actual real EQ 'who can kill the most stuff the fastest'.

I heard Nilbog was going to implement something like this a month or so ago but haven't heard anything since.

Sometimes I think Rogean and Nilbog are the same person... Obama.

They promise change and then go "play golf" (see play golf as in something other than doing what they said which very well could or could not be work related real life shit)

Possibly shorten variance, randomly rotate announced/unannounced patch days every week or two (or three~whatever), and add non-authoritative FTE shouts strictly for informational purposes.

Guilds are still rewarded for tracking and camping out in prep, others are occasionally rewarded for quick mobilization on patch day.

Win/win.

Just like in live when the new expansion came out the top dogs moved there and the casual/family guilds took the previous content.
Oh, so THAT'S why TMO is never in fear or hate or sky or solb or perma anymore.
