Normally I would take the Ayn Rand/crygirls can suck it approach with you Jilena. However, it is a server whose main goal is to promote nostalgia among old-school gamers, not to be a chode-measuring contest among job-seeking basement dwellers. 10 years ago, being the first to have a CoF was pretty awesome. Today only .000065% of the gaming population even gives a shit. So, it does tend to defeat the purpose when only 20 people get to enjoy the content that was SPECIFICALLY GENERATED for people to re-enjoy. Therefore, compromise, in this case, is necessary.
Of all of the solutions I've heard so far, guinea's suggestion is by far the coolest. It bears less 24/7 nerdcamping, and would give each guild the chance to have a raid experience, if only on a weekly basis. That strategy combined with the 24+ hour variance would, in my opinion, be a solution worth considering. Mobs spawn all spawn at a random time. The elite guild would get more than one boss, and the pick of the litter, and maybe some free time to flex their masturbation hands. Nub guilds would get to smack on some fire giants.
