Jesus, this thread is still going? Seriously Sirken, just make VP no CSR again. Most of the people who were around during that period agree it was some of the most fun they've ever had in EQ. The content is old and trivial. Most of the loot is weak. The difficulty of attaining a key keeps most casuals out of the zone. It is literally the perfect situation to let the raid guilds take their frustrations out on each other.
The raid scene on this server has gotten so lame that bragging rights basically boil down to who was able to run to a mob first... no CSR VP would actually present an opportunity where raids would have to do more than wait for the FTE race and then kill an uncontested mob. It would actually reintroduce some degree of competition to raiding.
If you consider foot races competition I'm sure the dept of fun guild will be holding another rivervale race at some point in the future, but that shit is weak when you're talking about end game guilds. Let us train the hell out of each other and utilize the zone fully and see who gets mobs. 1 zone of anarchy on a server governed by endless rules isn't asking much.
Edit - just for clarity, for the majority of no CSR VP I was on the losing end of things. TMO wrecked us for months before we got our first kill. It was still way more fun than the weekly special olympics we've got going on in ToV and Kael. Make VP great again.
