Some Fun Raid Changes

Let's be honest though: The A-Team doesn't do 50%+ of the high-end content.

And lets remember, those things you guys do as the A team, I was doing with less people 18 months ago.

Credit to some of the amazing solo/duo work, but raiding/grouping those targets isnt what I want. I'm not plat rich anymore, but I dont need to nor feel the desire to farm needlessly.

A-team guys have a lot of fun, and reap the rewards of their efforts. But those rewards aren't the rewards the majority of the raiding community on P1999 want. The non raid community, cant break in to the raiding scene due to RL/commitment/whatever issues that preclude them from neckbearding it like the best of us.

And remember there is a shitload of people that burnt out or gave up on P1999, because of the poisoned, fucked and downright disgusting raid scene and attitudes of those of us in the top guilds (or public perception of such, or misinterpretation...the reasoning is irrelevent). How good would it be to have a server where all those people can have a shot? There would be hundreds of people who want to play, but dont want batphones and poopsocking. Why not give them an opportunity to experience what we experience, even if only 10% donate a little, that would cover the costs.

Set the rules up, and remove the ability to have all the bullshit items and overpowered crap and you immediately clean up a lot of the bullshit CSR nightmares and RMT.

People addicted to their pixels and being fuckwits on 99, wont leave those pixels. There are guys here with 30+ robe of the azure sky in guild...Those guys have waited years to get that shit and wont give it up. Others will, to escape the shitfight that is p1999 raiding.

Set very strong rules, enforce them with relentless, immediate and lasting consequences (char deletion, 50% xp loss, raiding suspensions) and weed out those who would flaunt or lawyer the rules. PNP > All, because frankly I'm sick of how it is and EQmac taught me again my love for EQ, in scheduling our raids and moving at our own pace (excepting later on stealing shit like seru which I never agreed with, but everyone else has also been doing seru for 8 years straight).
