This place is special because of classic EQ. And if we're being honest, the raid scene here isn't classic: races literally never existed on live.

If P99 switched to instances or rotations, people would raid the way they did back in 2001 ... ie. the classic way.
Sorry but I fundamentally can't see how adding instancing of all things to p99 would make it more classic. Instancing is totally antithetical to the point of the project.

"Classic" is a super elastic term anyway. Everquest only has classic mechanics. You can emulate those mechanics perfectly and there will still be new emergent playstyles. Some servers had rotations, others didn't, yet they all existed during vanilla\kunark\velious. So which playstyle is the genuinely "classic" one? I think the raid system here works about as well as it possibly can; it's mostly meritocratic but smaller guilds can still work their way up and get stuff. Please god no instancing though.
