This thread sort of took a bad turn, when Naena posted his question, it was because the impression we'd been getting from folks was that if you were interested in high end content pretty much don't bother, there just isn't room at the top so to speak. But you know how boards are and gossip, you never really know until you're up there what the real score is and because we just don't have the playtime we used to, we wanted to know if leveling up was a waste of time if we were interested in anything past basic grouping, maybe Sky once we hit the high end. The people we'd been grouping with inferred that basically the folks still going had so much invested in the server that even though raid content for them was non existent it was still worth logging in.
Racing is part of EQ, it always has been, there's absolutely no expectation on our part of WoW style raid content availability. Naena knows firsthand from his experience on live, and even though I started raiding later racing was always part of it. Sometimes guilds worked out rotations, sometimes they didn't, sometimes folks trained eachother to get to a raid mob, it's just the way EQ works.
I think what would have been a better way to phrase the inquiry, would have been to ask if anyone actively races TMO to mobs, or if folks just don't bother. That's really more to the point.
