These types of threads, and the raid scene on P1999 in general, consistently illustrate why newer online role-playing games tend to use substantial amounts of instancing. Monopolization of content doesn't happen in such environments and the only people who care are the unhappy few who judge their self-worth based on what other folks do or don't have. That's not a solution for P1999 of course; it's outside the scope of this server. Come to think of it, variance is also outside the stated scope of this server so I guess it's just as applicable.
The 'socking that happens here sort of benefits me in a roundabout way. I don't much care about raiding, so 100 people sitting on Sathir's spawn point is 100 people who aren't camping the stuff the wife and I want to do.
