Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

[Tasslehofp99]

You realize the pop was at this level around kunark release as well...abd dropped down to less than 500 players average on peak hours? It happened before kunark came out too, probably will happen again. Ultimately p99has a high turnover rate, people come and go, some come back, some don't.


This is due to the fact that once you level up and do everything you can on your own/in groups...there is nothing left. Its either join TMO, or join another guild who hopes to raid and get kill rarely, or buy your loot from TMO.

Now...I understand there are many factors behind the population fluctuating, but why wouldn't we do what we can to minimize it? Why wouldn't we try to keep people around as long as possible!

I mean look at rapture for example..they came, they conqueres a little bit, but ultimately they realize end game raiding on p99 is a cruel lesson in futility. Why? Because the rules are not fairly enforced and we have nonclassic mechanics such as variance and sanctioned training in vp.

You can't honestly say that you have been around long enough to see TMO single handedly push hundreds of players away from p99 and still think nothing is wrong with p99 raiding.
