Loramin do you have evidence of rotations being a server rule in Velious? I was on Fennin Ro, one of the largest servers, and there was nothing like a ToV rotation on that server.

Ok, first off "in Velious" is an incredibly loaded term. Velious on live lasted almost exactly a year (it was released in December 2000, and Luclin was released in December 2001). Here, even if you completely ignore the fact that everyone was gearing up in Kunark gear for
seven years prior, Velious itself has still lasted more than three times as long as Velious ever did on live (and counting).
But second, even going by the most literal definition of "in Velious", yes. This is far from the first time we've (we as in the forum collectively) had this discussion, and in previous discussions people chimed in with stories of rotations in that era. I'm too lazy to go find said discussions, so I don't know what servers exactly, but the conversation exists and can be found with a bit of Googling. As has already been noted my server, Bristlebane, absolutely had them, but they weren't introduced until later (Luclin/PoP) ... but even so, if you compare P99 to Bristlebane they'd already be rotating by now.
Now, turnabout is fair play: do you have evidence from live for any of the P99 "competition" mechanisms besides FTE itself? Even FTE messages never existed on live, because live (despite all this talk about how stiff competition was on it) never had anywhere close to the number of FTE fights P99 has.
