Raid Suspending best idea GM's had in a long time

[Comoc1]

I'm happy for the casuals. Good for them. I've had a ton of fun leveling my alt, questing, and chillin' with my buds in the down time.

To think that we'd begrudge casuals for getting dragons in,OR OUT of the suspension is completely wrong.

You're welcome for suggesting 10 day entire raid bans for raid infractions during the last nerd summit!

The timeline on P99 is almost complete. Just the big October patch left and a few smaller patches. Once it's done they can go extremely non-classic for purposes of appeasing the mass raiding population on the server.

I haven't been online P99 in a few days in any meaningful capacity... Have any of the guilds crawled ToV or have they all submitted to peer pressure and zone-pulled to LTK or Entrance? Was kinda hoping one or two of them would crawl into North but dunno if that happened or not.

Rustle crawled HoT and killed two Dozekars at the same time.

The server this weekend was by far the most fun and healthy I've seen it in a long time. People in tov were literally doing a conga line and partying with the absence of A/A. Everyone got to enjoy content without any drama. We're all nerds here on p99, but once you take out the beardiest of neckbeards, it's amazing how great the atmosphere becomes. Unfortunately it will end too soon, A/A members took their shower and are ready to get back into their extremely competitive everquest pve mode.

How much of a pissing match is it between smaller guilds is it on small stuff that A/A has forgotten about? I recall quite the pissing match over sky rotations long after A/A had left that stuff.

Literally if A/A were to completely disappear from the server, the same "problems" would return in a month tops, because there will always be those few that aren't "casual" enough.

It will never been sunshine and rainbows, there will always be a top and a bottom

You can't fault them for this. A/A would be running 150 deep each if they had a scheduled raid too. The only reason they can field 30-60 at any time of day is because their roster is just as deep. The fact that casual guilds bring 150 to a scheduled CT and A/A has just as many on call just shows how crowded the end game is.

In reality, there needs to be 2-3 more blue servers if you want any semblance of classic raiding.

That isn't true, we schedule VP and Tunare in AM and at most get 80 people.

^^ and both A/A wouldn't recruit that many if our numbers are hitting 100 consistently.

I'd argue 80 in AM is equivalent to 150 at prime time.
