This wasn't a small selection of people desyncing, our entire raid desynced upon zoning in and running to the corner by the right moat. I can guarantee you that some of these nerds live on the east coast with good internet (sub 20 ping) and have monster computers to boot.
We weren't zone hopping, so the issue isn't going to be fixed by making the argument that we all need to be in the same zone and stay in the same zone. They prepared several hours in advance with a very large force with their casters and rezzers being g-fluxxed onto the super block (so taking the zone prior with our 20-30 people also wasn't feasible).
There isn't a way for the 2 groups to co-exist in that zone prior to the mob being about to spawn. And there's no way for me to build a computer that will drop my ping below the 115-130 ms that I'm always in in the Pacific Northwest. So this in essence is a server hardware issue, especially since I've been in several 70v70s in the past with absolutely no lag or desyncing whatsoever.
I've heard that people spoke with rogean and karnors and a few other zones had been placed on bad server clusters to make room for the velious beta zones being properly tested. I also never desynced in Fear during trains prior to the shitfest Sunday, and now I do with regularity...so something has happened recently to the red99 server files.

I don't have any information other than what I've presented, and I don't have anything to do with the server hardware. I can tell you what I see from my pov, but I can do as much about it as you.
Now to the LNS removal, what I was able to learn was that it has been done before. It led to corpse camping, bind rushing, and general wars of attrition. A 20 v 40 in a battle for Vox ended with the 20 winning. The 40 batphoned and continued to rush for 4+ hours, ending with the 20 that actually won to leave in frustration. Victory through skill is preferred to victory through attrition, and the removal of LNS favours the latter.
If your issue with LNS is "I don't like it" instead of "these are the detriments it's causing to the server", then there isn't a lot more for me to look at. Anyone that claims that the detriment is "becoming blue" will be shot. It's Everquest with PvP, not PvP with Everquest.
