I guess when pixels are your life, even a single person suggesting that those pixels be shared becomes a dire threat. But whatever the attacks, my opinion is unchanged.

Look, on live only the "top dog" guilds did dominate ToV, for the entirety of Velious ... but that was one year; the idea that only they should keep doing so here is as out of place the number of OT hammers.

It's simple math: just as there are far, far more hammers here than live ever had (both numerically and as a percentage of the population) this server has far, far more raid-capable players.
Logically it should support far more ToV raid guilds.

We've had Velious for three years now; four in August. Luclin was released on live one year after Velious, and when that happened I guarantee the top guilds on your server soon moved on, letting the next tier start ToV. Less than a year later when PoP was released, a month or two later what level of guild was doing ToV on your server? Hint: not the top dogs, or the guilds below them.

Four years after Velious was released on live Luclin, Planes of Power, Ykesha, Lost Dungeons, Gates of Discord AND Omens of War were released. We've had that much time just in Velious (forget about the seven years of Kunark before). It's time to share ToV and let the project better serve it's purpose of letting a lot more people (re-)experience what classic EQ raiding was like.

Or we can let the welfare zerg guild keep shouting about how terrible rotations would be (for them).
