IB left the server, it was their variance to begin with (nobody else wanted it way back when). I say it's time to let it go.

However, if we remove the variance we should put the Rotation back (at least on some of the dragons/gods), and learn to share. I think it's time we all act like adults and realize that this is a 13 year old game, people come back to it on P99 to relive some fun. Not get 3am bat phone calls like they did back in '99, or get grieved by other guilds.

Couldn't agree with you more.

There will never be a rotation while a guild is on top.

But that's the point. TMO can't be on top anymore if variance is taken away. Or well maybe they can but with tons of people sitting on a targets spawn point when its about to spawn its a complete toss up. TMO will start to lose targets.

I think these special mobs should just be made to spawn more frequently, i.e. reduce the window size, but make the spawn time variable within the windows.
