If a new p99 server opened with forced raid target rotations would you switch?

That is a valid point.

I have a feeling that the community there would still make it work though. They are very friendly and have a completely different mind set. I was a member of the top guild and we often let other guilds clear VT when they wanted, while many of our members still had upgrades there.

You are comparing a server that has scheduled repops and three or four more expansions than P99 on the subject of sharing content.

Nilbog pointed out that the end game guilds are in his opinion much larger than the they were on live. Additionally, I will point out that after this much time had elapsed on live I don't think the top 4 guilds on a server were generally in competition for the same mobs. We've got more people, capped for more time, with more knowledge, on the same mobs.

Lets pretend that P99 had rotations from the start. There would be no drama, no race for loot and therefore guilds would practically never split up because they would never fail consistently enough to be so unhappy with there current situation to change it. In this rotation of guilds you have:
Inglorious basterds, Transcendance, Divinity, Fish bait, Gothic Circle, Dark Ascension, TMO, and countless other guilds that would crop up because there is no need for guilds to increase past a certain size.

It would take a year to gear out a raid force of 14 and even that process would have been ridiculously boring. A server with forced rotations could not ever live with a reasonable server population, people would get bored and leave.

Versus what? Everyone but TMO leaving, kinda like it's been recently?

I agree with Atmas. It's easy to paint the high end eqMac guilds as full of benevolent saints, but they have the same population as us in addition to Velious, Luclin, and PoP.

This allows hard core raiding guilds there like IB to do progression style raiding -- they are on Velious and there's not a whole server of people that want the same thing.

And with PoP content, a lot of epics are frankly obsolete. This reduces demand for the Vanilla and Kunark boss mobs.

I really wish the devs here would consider raid tokens. I love the sleeper server, but they allow boxing (yuck) and plan to expand past velious (yuck). But the raid token idea is extremely compelling. I love the idea of competition, and I love the idea that those who work the hardest get the most. And I love the idea that those who don't work the hardest still get to experience content (but not enough as to trivialize the work of those that work the hardest).

No, this is the same mistake all the exiled from red99 are making. A wipe would lead to the exact same thing all over again, the only thing different would be you'd have spent another 20 days /played leveling up again.

On competitive servers, the cream always rises to the top. You could release a new server every month and it would be the same people at the top at the end of each month.

This is what makes me laugh. That you guys think you are so super awesome. Such competitors!

Red99 didn't work because the same assholes who love to play on blue and get off by denying other people fun are the same assholes who would corpse camp someone 20 levels under them, because that is there fun.

Long story short, wiping the server/creating a new server/murdering TMO members irl is not going to change the end game of EQ. You could wipe this server 100 times and be right back in this same position with a different set of names and faces doing the exact same shit, every time. So enjoy it the way it is, cause this is the only server you will ever get. If you can't enjoy it like it is, then quit, Thats what i did and I was IN the top guild.

Wow. Someone who gets it, it's just too bad the sheeple are all in denial.

This is going to start a fire in this thread but its my honest answer. I would start over as would like 90% of my guild if a new blue 99 was opened if and only if TMO was not allowed on that server.

I'd roll TMO3.0 on that server and crush your hopes into the ground.
