Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

I think the closest thing you'll get to a rotation on here, is TMO not mobilizing for targets. In the past, TMO has given up raid targets for the server to go after. However, the only way I would think they would do this is if the "second raiding guild" didn't go after those targets. Would obvious exclude VP raid targets and probably trakanon.

Only thing is, the last few times they did this, the server complained that it wasn't enough and that it was some sinister plot (seriously).

I think you and I are on the same page on this one. I think the solution will most likely be TMO/IB/FE leaving stuff up come Velious or purposely talking to less hardcore guilds to give them shots at things which would encourage more new people to join the serve and raid. (IE better/more potential recruits).

Anyways hope this discussion goes somewhere.

blablabla dude always the same song however the server population keeps stable and at some points growth up.

in general i have found most people dont want to put the time and what is needed to experience high end raidin.
like having proper sets of resists, key quests and many other stuff.

Not true, the server population IS up right now. There were times though during the first year of kunark when the population was absolutely dreadful. I would say there was a 3-6 month period where the server pop going over 500 people was good.


Either way, the raiding scene is stagnant and there are some simple fixes that would help it out as well as provide a more classic representation of Everquest. Why should we not discuss these issues? Even Nilbog himself said he would consider removing training from VP (as it is not classic) so obviously people want to discuss how we can get this done as well as other potential fixes to the raiding scene.
