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.

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. | |||

99/100 angry comments in these threads seem to be from people staying on p99.
No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Relaaaaaaaaaaax. Agnarr is an unknown quantity. Claiming its better or worse than p99 is purely speculative at best. People are acting like taking a month to check out something else going on would be the end of the world. And that's silly, too. If you want the convuluted circular logic : those claiming instances aren't 'classic' need to use the basis that instancing would bypass the google hangouts.... the mario kart.. the alt tabbing.. the FTE.... you know.. all the.. *cough* classic things that make the p99 end game what it is. Phinny did not kill p99. Agnarr won't either. | ||

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.
