Let's talk big picture raiding on p99. The problem is lack of content due to artificial population distribution of raid level characters. Guilds are encouraged by the system to place as many characters on as many relevant targets as possible (logged out/in whatever).

Numbers + organization + dedication or something like that is the model for success here. If you don't have enough people willing to get on at that 4am call, you're out of luck. A small, highly skilled and organized force can't statistically compete in a sustained manner.

I think it would be awesome if a guild could raid boss encounters without having a ton of alts. Is that achieved by some type of instance like feature? Not sure, but to pre-empt the howls of, "that's not classic": neither is the population structure of p99. That unique feature requires a unique solution, if the server is interested in an increased population level.

Words of wisdom.
