Raid rules suggestion

I guess you're SOL then, either be a zombie and be up at the time this occurs or don't raid the mob, there are plenty of unemployed people who already sit druids in zones 36 hours straight tracking, again this is no different than those cases.

So you're saying that holding down a job, having a family and playing EQ should all be mutually exclusive just because you don't like the variance?

If you're going to come up with a solution, perhaps try to come up with one that doesn't leave people "SOL" because they don't live in your country, because all your suggestion of "spawning everything at 8pm CST" does is exclude non-Americans from the equation.

If you're not AMERICUNN GTFO! J/k

There shouldn't be any issue with a certain time slot, not EVERYONE can play around the clock, and there are times I've been busy doing something else and missed out on a raid, Big deal! I couldn't be on at 5 A.M to slay Nagafen!

It's opportunity cost, if you go to work, want to spend time with your family then you're giving up a certain slot to raid an encounter, if you're willing to place importance on this encounter by cutting out sleep, family time, work etc. then your opportunity cost is spending time with your family or doing some other activity.

That's pretty basic man

Opportunity cost of your short-sighted solution? The cost of my entire guild skipping work (yes its the middle of the day here) to raid at "8pm CST" means all of us getting sacked. Not exactly an option. The variance will actually give us a shot occasionally.
