Damn, 17 guilds have cleared Vex Thal. Instances are incredible, allowing all these super neckbeard and dirty casual guilds to do the same content.

Maybe eventually P99 will get some of that fast respawn / instances raid content.
I played eq2 in a competitive guild, usually in the top 10 of ww kills. This is both a blessing and a curse. One thing that happened was that players started measuring their epeen globally, across servers, and the SOE team made it possible to have kill rating across (Ithink) around 24 servers.

But the other thing that happened, it seemed to become harder to develop good rulesets and content for that approach to an mmo. It cost 50 bucks to switch servers, and apps like ACT allowed one to submit detailed data to any uber guild wanted to apply to. Talent started tilting toward a handful of guilds. Plus then, eq2 started to suck once they got rid of avatars.

So instancing is a blessing in high pop games. But maintaining high pop is pretty impossible anymore, imo. Which is why phinny will crash in pop after GoD. We will just do the newer server, or emulator. Because after GoD?

Why?
