try and do a quick history if I can remember anything right now.
at first classic raid rules, then the first to 15 in zone and must maintain presence. so it was like an hour before mod due 15 would be in zone, then 2 hours etc etc. Then variance to discourage people from sitting and waiting for hours on end, original variance was 24 hours +/- I think, it didn't stop people, so variance increased, then they removed the 15 player presence and it went down to 1 or 2 individual trackers waiting up to 48 hours. variance increase variance increase, then it went to FTE and that's about where I stopped playing.
I think its about that but with like a 96hour variance or something and you still have people waiting days on end for a mob.
the deterrents only forced people to play harder and harder into what we have now.

I tried to explain this to people but seems to not be getting through...
The way it was before all the variance was fine & this trash should have never been added (this is why ALOT of players left to begin with & TMO even came to be)
It's almost like it was a total setup they say "Hey man we do this for free we gain nothing" <~~ I promise that is a lie and then some.
Between the accounts trades & donations & the amount of time the server has actually been up
Take for example this:
http://www.uogamers.com/
^^ a website with UO Emu servers by the creators of the EMU..
They bank a hundred thousand a month EASY.
back on track now..
The variance seems like it got all the real competition off the server here so one guild could dominate the raid scene - they even took it a step further and duped all their trash when they got banned for it they cried and got the whole raid scene into a tizzy(at least from my point of view)
Toss it into chaos so they can come back strong and take over and make greedy bank again ---- only doable because of the variance mind you. If there was no variance then TMO would not be the only ones there to get the mob(I think this is why there is variance)
But ya anyone who has played other EMU's that are as large as this one should no for a fact when they say they don't make dick doing it --- that it's a total freaking lie.
(these are some ramblings ATM of someone pretty high)
