The only modification to the already near perfect rotation setup that I would support, is lowering the FFA timer to 12 hours instead of 24.

I come from Rallos Zek, we had rotation there, on the premiere item loot PVP server. It always worked, very effectively, and was player enforced. Obviously it sucks for the lower guilds trying to get in, but there was NEVER an issue once kunark was released, there is enough content in kunark and classic for several guilds to always have something to do.

Competition is NOT for 11 year old content guys, it really isn't. If you say you came back for competition then you're probably playing the wrong game.

Furthermore, lowering the FFA timer to anything lower than 12 hours would be like basically removing the rotation totally, everyone knows people can kill a boss at 2 in the morning where nobody has the force to get on at that time. This is why they had euro servers, because the time differentials can't compete with each other. that would mean you have til 2 in the afternoon to engage it, and hell let's be realistic here, we're not all 12 years old in middle school anymore.

We have lives, kids, families. If you wanna waste everyone's time waiting for a mob to spawn, then you maybe are still 12; psychologically.

I fully support Divinity entering into the rotation.

Now you're getting the idea! The only reason we needed a rotation was to prevent GMs from intervening due to KSing and camping raid spawns. If there are clear rules about how long you have to engage, then you will be given a fair window to attempt a target uninterrupted before the target goes FFA.

I love the 1 hour idea. Guilds will end up camping the spawn like they did in classic to avoid blowing their protected window, and the guild that can take advantage after that window has passed will be rewarded.

Don't ever play chess. Seriously people need to stop saying this. From now on the people who realize this statement is retarded, just go with "chess" as a response.

I have a family Ektar, I can't practice as much as you do. Therefore you are obligated to let me win at least 50% of the time.

just srsly.

It's an aged game people still play like it was played when it came out. It's not like we're trying to play classic eq on live server that is up to expansion 15. This is like playing a game of chess in that it's a game that you can play by following its rules. srsly.

Srsly? You don't get this analogy? It's a perfectly good one. srsly.

I don't have much time to camp new gear anymore. Perhaps I could just summon it myself?
