It's Chardok, its always been Chardok, and as long as Sirken allows blatant XP exploitation (Chardok AOE group) there is no cure in sight. Even if they fixed Chardok AoE by making a max number that can be affected by AOE Stun, the damage is already done and the server is forever non-classic.

And those asking for a new server...Not sure you understand what will ACTUALLY happen on a new server. All a new server would accomplish is to show you how f#cking retarded people get about EQ and how quickly No-Lifers will outpace the common man (IE level 60s in under a week, cash camps perma camped, raid content locked down within the first month). At least now semi-casuals can get some loot, its not 100% impossible like it would be on a new server.

Well before it was Chardok it was Skyfire, but I get your point. Characters would cost money via a subscription fee, on p99 that isn't applicable so you can mass characters. Massing characters allow you to sock multiple targets. A fresh server (green99 ?) would likely suffer from people locking down guises or people racing to 60, that will always be the issue. I'm saying that if you just movelog half the raiding guilds that are on top of each other it would ease all this congestion.

Right now you have plenty of guilds that could defeat NToV and Sleepers content (it was easily proven on beta) but there's that artificial barrier of entry required due to variance and poorly tuned encounters. Sont shouldn't be a 70 person raid if they are all 60 and very well geared, Velious Dragons that fear aren't properly tuned. If Ramp has all their buffers do their job and then switch to rogues the content isn't tuned right, period.

Rampage, Forsaken, Asgard, Taken, Divinity, BDA, plus the guilds that haven't dipped their toe into that realm like Azure Guard, Europa, Omni, Anonymous, and Clue. ToV is already a disaster and only two raid forces have really fought it out. What happens BDA and Divinity decide we want to get into the act. Four guilds in north wing will suckkkkkk.

No one will back down either, it will be trains and concessions and lawyering and shenanigans until the end of time with each guild using any new player as a resource. More human coal to be shoveled into the maw of the infernal machine to get dem pixels.
