Well the rotation at least lasted for a year. That's some sort of progress, yet it was mocked and shamed by the class C guilds and largely ignored by the staff. The raid scene is a disaster because of two inflexible raiding entities and the staff that allow them to be man children.

I can't say this enough; p99 is not the place for you if you want to raid in Everquest, period. Phinny has instancing, TAKP has an actual rotation, or play a different game.

I was not happy leaving p99, my monk had everything I wanted based on the targets we could reasonably attain, a guise, all 5 PoM flowers, etc. The vast majority of BDA was also sad to leave because 5+ years is a lot to invest into a server/game. However, moving on to Phinny was so much healthier for the guild overall and everyone is exponentially happier. The officer core is only 5-6 people and their roles are well defined, no one is getting burnt out. As a guild you actually get to progress and your fun isn't dictated by a tiny sect of degenerates.

If CSG or Fires or Venerate or Anon want to continue scrapping for targets and socking for 16 hours at a time and being relegated to HoT or sky raids then I wish you all the best, but the second you make the switch to something new you'll realize how asinine the p99 raiding construct actually was and you'll get whiplash from the hindsight.
