Everyone that complains that something isnt classical when it comes to raids should stop raiding. The 'origional concept' of eq did not have raiding on the list at all, it was supposed to be 6 man content only with some mobs just plain unkillable. That's why it never had a raid window to start with and you had to have someone in killing group hold the corpse until it opened up for whomever won the loot.
If anyone disagrees with my statement above, you should check out the uber loots on the origonal dragon kills. (Not the stuff given out later for it.)

Project1999 is a server set out to imitate classic as we once knew it as close as possible.
The problem with this is that you cannot imitate the 1999 player base mindset. People did not know what raiding was back then, except a certain few of us who happened to get to that state. Even when guilds had to compete for kills, it was 2 or maybe 3 guilds on a server which allowed a rotation to be possible.
With this server, the problem is that everyone has the raid-now mindset and there simply isn't enough to go around. These mobs have been killed over 10 years ago. The strats are not new, the items are not new, and everything is a cake-walk. There are now 4-5 guilds able to raid, and a lot more on the way.
I think the majority of us are here to relive the experience and have fun, and I think Instancing would be a good solution. Sure it would kill the fun of competition, but really is racing to a mob that fun? It doesn't seem like it with all the bitching in this thread.
Although even if this was a solution, could the dev's even implement it? It would most likely have to be VP, PoF, PoH, and PoS only. It would be hard to instance solb for naggy, and sebilis for Trak. Those dragons would still have to be first come first serve basis.
So in reality if the planes were instanced, there could still be the competition for Naggy, vox, trak, outdoor dragons, etc. Thus leaving something for the other guilds to do after they got beat to these mobs. Which might also fix the amount of item farming going on in lowerguk and every other named mob in game that drops decent loot. These people have nothing to do = farm items = lower end players no place to group for xp.
