Shocking leaked image shows spirit of compromise on p99 in A/A's absence!

[Breaken]

This weekend is probably the best argument for a server split. Take 300+ raiders out of the mix and everyone's amazed that they get a better chance at content. It's a population problem, doesn't matter what guilds are at the top.

The fact that everyone worked together for one week is not surprising. See what it devolves into after a few months. We already know though.

I don't even play P99, but I logged into ToV yesterday and saw over half a dozen guilds having a great time, with virtually zero poopsocking required.

Poopsocking is created by the staff. Variance requires socking. Before variance, when it was first in force, that required socking. The only time socking is not needed is on full server spawns, whether from server crashes/patches or earthquakes.

Replace all weekly spawns with earthquakes and you should see these half dozen guilds having a great time. They proved this week (to no ones surprise) that they can kill these Velious targets. So, if all mobs were to spawn, they have plenty of options to go contest. I would expect a guild to go straight for Statue/AoW. I would expect another to go straight for Dain, KT, Yelinak, Zlandicar, CT, or any ToV dragon they choose to FTE.

Admittedly, ToV would be very crowded, but that would be the choice of the guild heading there. This would keep the competition aspect of the server, while still distributing mobs because one or two guilds cannot kill everything before the 6 or so others get theirs.
