What I care about it people hogging content.

This "instance" thing only solves high end raiding. It does nothing for named mobs around all of Norrath. I doubt Kithikor Forest is gonna get enough people to have multiple "instances" for people to farm the 35% reduction bag...for example.

The fact ANYONE has the opportunity to camp 6 things at once destroys the server from the start.

Jesus you are fucking stupid. You have been told repeatedly by people that actually play on these servers that it is nothing like you imagine in your warped little brain. There is literally no one doing what you are describing. You also are taking a p99 mentality to a live server and thats wrong to start with. So fucking what if there was a 6 boxer trying to monopolize several camps. Mobs dont belong to him, he cant get you in trouble for dps racing him and winning. If you think you deserve it more than him, take it. quit being a fucking nancyboy hiding behind some bullshit ruleset and petitionquest.

Shralok pack is 25% reduction noob not 35%.

Remind me off those other box servers... maybe EZ? Where you play 2 groups i eventually realized i would rather just play 1toon and enjoy it. I think it's why p99 is so successful. In a way they force you to group and enjoy the journey more...

But then the idea of 12 mage pets hitting a red Hadden in open world does sound fun for the first few times lol.

All of the threads being merged together has confused my tiny brain.

The hatred of boxing, on an instanced server with pick zones and instanced raids generally comes down to someone thinking they'll be left out if they don't box. You won't. Trust me.

Especially if you grab a few of your friends currently on P99 who are raging about not being able to get Fungi camp 7 years later or not being able to experience a Dozekar or Vulak raid. Get them to roll some toons with you on Agnarr and you've got yourself a classic EQ party. You'll be in LGuk doing big things in no time.

This times infinity. Everyone thinks that the issue is going to be overpopulation on any server. That's true. Any server over 200 characters will have an issue with overpopulation. The game isn't fun when there's some full group at your camp or another raid at your raid target, and there's nothing you can do about it. P2002 has problems, TAKP has problems, and lord knows P99 has problems with it.

There's peaceful resolutions to these scenarios, but jeez, I've played and developed these things long enough to know that's never going to happen because too many are concerned about rushing. The better option is to do instancing with a 'you're on your own' ruleset like Verant/SOE/Daybreak did on live. And you do realize that you get your own personal Nagafen, Vox, Vindi, etc, once per week under Daybreak's instancing, right? It's like EQ for people with actual lives and jobs.

If you're not going to do instancing, however..

The core problem lies in the mentality of the players that compete for raid targets. They are just concerned about the destination and not the journey to 60.

They don't realize how much fun they could have just leveling up new characters or trying something new ingame. Challenge yourself a little bit. Put artificial limitations on yourself like no twinking or handouts. Play a class you've never played before. Do a shitty quest - not for the reward but for the adventure.

The biggest problem is everyone knows the path of least resistance and is told to follow it. They do, they get to endgame, and poopsock raid mobs. Try and do crazy things no one else can, or wants to do, in the game instead of raiding - there's a reason the most popular EQ streams right now are people like Burytoe.

right?

I boxed warrior/cleric back in the day on two comps in diff rooms on dial up. I would literally run to the other room and hit CH when the warrior needed a heal then run back.
