And many of us casual raiders have come to P99 as a refuge against the terrible communities that exist in games without even the slightest bit of player interdependence which brings about a drastic decline in the quality of community. We come here for a refuge from bad community, looking for actual cooperation and an enjoyable experience.
That's why Rogean's plan is likely the best. It lets each of us raid in exactly the way we want, independent of one another.

Signed and fully agreed.
If the staff did a statistic about hours played per week, it would appear that the "competitive" guilds (now called Tier 1) represent probably 5% (or less) of the
played hours. They would appear in large numbers only for 10 minutes it takes to kill some raid target. The way they play EQ with their mains (and 60 alts) is basically off-line. If you want to estimate these statistics, just do a /who and add an estimate of anon.
What makes the server a living place are the 95% of hours played by everybody else out of which probably 90% don't even post on these boards.
It seems to me an incredibly toxic idea that those 5% have the right or are even encouraged to block access to the high level content or at the very least dictate the conditions under which they
generously allow the 95% to get some scraps.
If the the 5% magically disappeared, nobody would notice, P99 would still prosper and be a good place to play the game.
Without the 95% it would be a ghost town for all but a few minutes during the week.
