Something to keep in mind - End game on this server revolves around killing raid targets when the raid targets spawn, not scheduled raids. On p99 these raid mobs spawn randomly within a 16 hour window of opportunity every 3-7 days, meaning there is no scheduled raids for the vast majority of end game. Mobs die when they spawn no matter the hour, and the end game guilds have the manpower to do just that. There are 50+ raid targets (virtually all of them) that have this 16 hour variation. No matter what your time zone, you'll see almost the same amount of raids as anyone if you do end game raiding.
There are only 3 guilds raiding at the 'end game' currently. Awakened and Forsaken+Asgard (they team up to compete against Awakened). All 3 guilds have a similar 55+ level requirement, give or take. There are like 8 other guilds that are very active but won't be seen killing in Sleepers Tomb, NTOV, etc very often. They tend to focus on Kunark mobs with a bit of Velious mixed in there as well.
It comes down to your real life and how much you want p99 to interfere. End game raiding involves getting a 'wake up' text message that a mob has spawned and to wake up and log in. You'll be getting 30+ texts each week at any random hour in those guilds. For many people that is very unappealing so they don't pick the top guilds.
