Are Multiple Raid Instances Possible?

The hope behind hyper respawns is people would "win" EQ faster and move on to other things. As of right now, a lot of people raid to block others from content, which is hilariously depressing.

If that's true (and I have no idea if it is or isn't), that IS pretty sad. Faster respawns WOULD be the easiest technically, I admit. The current solution appears to be "suffer until you quit", which is something I'm not looking forward to. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Green99 will launch in due time. Remain patient friend.

^^another problem with instancing is that this is EQ.. If you look at phini everyone and there mother has epics and VP loot. The part I loved about classic was not everyone could get epics and other shiny loot.. Only if you got into a big raiding guild and in the massive amount of time and effort.

If they ever allow instanced raids here they might as well copy WoWs "looking for raid" feature so you can instantly appear before the raid boss and hit face on keyboard for phat lewtz

The massive amount of time was never to these extremes and it's not so much effort when everything is killed in under 5 minutes by training away the content and throwing 20 rogues and 10 clerics at it all. Even the path to 60 has been trivialized for years on end with Chardok.

Interesting... the effect I could see this having is hardcore folks are "distracted" by the green for the time it takes them to level and raid a bit before they come back. That might free up the blue for lighter guilds a bit more, in theory... rinse, repeat.

Green server won't help at all since both servers would just be boxed and it won't be any harder for guilds to park buffed and screen share on blue while they play Green just like they play any of there 20 alts on blue.

Instancing bad! Poop-socking good!

Now go kill the prime minister of Malaysia, Derek.

Well, then there is the less tangible promise of Purple99. That most certainly would yield a favorable result.

Now you're just messing with me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I dunno, epics (even on RZ) took a few groups and some coordination, yes, but you didn't have to be an uber raiding guild. And I see tons of epics on Blue... the level of gear here is MUCH higher than I ever saw on the original servers. (Again, might have been because I was on RZ).

That would be my worry, yes. I guess the way you'd implement it is either with numbered instances ("Zone to Nagafen's Lair 1, 2 or 3?") that have their own respawn timers, at it's simplest. ("We're in 3, guys!")

Again, kinda moot because we're not in charge nor do we run the hardware, but there must be some alternatives...

Not really though. It has been discussed that once Velious has run its course, the development team may release a "green" server that will follow a true classic timeline. Once it has run its course, it would be dumped into the blue server and "recycled" with a wipe and fresh classic launch. I have chose. To take this as gospel and you should too. Have faith!
