Project 1999 Raid Rules FAQ
The majority of the raid rules apply for both a natural spawn of a raid target and simulated server re-pop (earthquake) besides ones such as -
Q24: What happens if there's a simulated re-pop while we are currently in a raid zone?
A: As long as the person or persons that were in the zone leave that zone or go back to the race line and come back before doing anything with the desired raid target, you will not be DQ'd from that target (camping/logging out of game does not count). We do not want people socking re-pops, but we also do not want to punish players by preventing them from doing other things (like HoT, Juggs, Vindi, etc) for fear of getting their guild DQ'd. This should accomplish both of those things, but will be updated if/as needed.
I believe your best bet, if you're keen and willing to raid, is to join a raiding guild and let them guide you with how it works. Experience is experience, you can't teach it.
Enjoy!
