I think maybe you're confusing guides (players helping the staff) with GMs (paid Verant staff).

But regardless, the point is that while GMs did maintain lists (we know as much from the GM handbook), they didn't maintain them for 8+ hours. On live there was never even a line that lasted 24 hours, let alone for days at a time. That aspect of /list here simply isn't classic.
(But again, the core idea ... of making people wait in short queues ... absolutely was, and I think the staff's decision to use "automated GMing" to make up for our lack of paid GMs was an excellent decision. I'm not anti /list, I just want a more classic /list 2.0.) |
I’m not confusing them with guides. I was CSR in era. There were night shift GMs, just not as many as day shift GMs. Guides helped to monitor the lists as well although they werent as heavily monitored as you seem to be stating they were.
Also many GMs covered more than just one server so it’s not like they were a dedicated night shift GM for that server
