Anticipation isn't the right word either.

The magic went much deeper than the rolls and code and hardware then.
Unless you hacked the server, you can't affect rolls. That's just physics for you.

I agree, and I can say I have also experienced this.

It’s pretty easy. Just roll halfling for the loaded dice racial perk.

Make raid zones PVP arenas, problem solved.
Would be amazing, until the owners guild is getting manhandled, and they ban their enemies...

People are getting bored and even pettier; it'd be fun to see some things get mixed up.

I'd rather see a no rules, wild-west raid scene than whatever it is that's going on that would require a U.N. Style discord, guilds getting routinely raid banned, and all the other wild stuff that I definitely don't recall hearing about back on live. Admittedly though, I've never done a lot of high end raiding, here or on live. Just seems soulless and horrible from my seat; to the point where I don't even want to try for my epics.

Regardless, alternate rules should be considered and put into play, not just for raids, but for basically any disputed rules. Maybe convert one of the existing servers to a 'test' server, or have whatever's planned for after green be such a server. Crazy proposition A isn't working out? Great, time to test crazy proposition B for a couple months. There'd be space to play with some more out-there ideas as well.

Randomizing what hot loot drops from what hot camps could be a fun thing; so would team PVP.

P99 needs a mischief rules (random raid loot) no holds barred rallos raid server (pvp)

Make dropped magical wearable items x10 rarer.

Go upto Kunark with velious rulesset.

That will be the perfect and final EQ server that goes into the end of time for all eternity.
