Thus making Class C more tempting to newer, up and coming guilds, as Class C will still have a larger piece of the pixel pie, will not suffer from lockouts, will have exclusive rights to VP and the best loots in Kunark era, and is given more room by staff to work out their own disputes (as it is the non restricted class).
not everyone may agree with this, but this is the position of the staff.

This position implies Class C is better than Class R.
Class C and R are a different mindset:
in R, we do not want to
* spend each weekend taking shifts and being on call for 48 hours
* have an arms race with trains and guildmages to see who can FTE first
* play lawyerquest
We are very greatful for this opportunity to experience EQ again on this free server, but at this point, everyone would be much happier with a competitive server and a rotation server.
You are trying to force a playstyle on people with a life outside EQ, and any attempt by class R to level up the playing field and compete on a very select and very few mobs is met with complaints.
As a GM, you are championning class C playstyle, which is a small part of the server.
Do you have actual numbers on active class C numbers vs class R? I understand server staff has a vision, but shouldn't this vision also reflect your global playerbase wishes?
