Lets get real: very few people choose to play this game if they cannot advance their character(s). Even if that advancement is very slow, it can keep people playing a long time. Keep in mind, if this was live, casuals wouldn't have 2 level 60s and nothing to do. Things aren't working like they used to on live mostly because of this.
There are three possible courses of action:
1) Keep more or less the current system that can only support two hardcore guilds.
2) Guild rotation to give casuals a wack at a mob once a month (give a full day to try any mob they want -- fuck it). This will lower the pixils for the hardcore guilds, but it will grant limited access to pixils to those that simply can't keep up with that schedual all the time.
3)Release Luclin. Luclin -- love it or hate it -- would solve a huge amount of the problems with multiple 60s, lack of raid content for everyone, and the inevitable burn out that will occur if this server is forever locked in Velious.

#1 staff will not create or enforce a rotation. Give it up.
#2 Variance and rotations in theory. Can and would a causal guild ever get their shit together to kill a_random_ntov_dragon at 4 am when those casuals are sleeping, or noontime when those casuals are at work? This game waits for no-one.
#3 casuals and the zones they are allowed to raid in as it comes to rotations. Class R casuals were not allowed into VP, the home of the BiS items. Logically Ntov should not be allowed in a C/R class system by virtue ntov is end zone of velious.
#4 classic during original launch casual guilds never saw any end game content it was monopolized by hardcore raid guilds. In this sense p99 is no different from the live experience. You didn't get to kill that stuff back then, and you certainly won't get to kill that stuff now.
