I'll throw in for Semi-Regular repops, announced or not.

If they are announced, perhaps don't schedule them. How about a serverwide message the instant it happens? Non-Classic, I know.

Also, I'd be game for SHORTENED variances. Getting rid of them completely is a bad idea. I despise the sock.

I think they should be announced somewhat in advance. That was what gave casual guilds the time to prepare on Live and even on p99, the fact that they knew a patch was incoming and so they could camp their mains at whatever their desired target was. I'm not even asking for 24 hours notice, but some notice would be good.

Ideally, Rogean would have no obligations outside of eq, and would be able to patch every 1-2 weeks. Then we wouldn't even need to talk about "simulated" patch days, since we could just have regular patch days (more often than once every few months I mean). If this isn't possible, then I say we should either have simulated patch days, or all 7 day mobs should share the same timer, or the variance should be reduced to something more reasonable like at most +/- 12 hours, or some combination of the above. Really, I'm okay with anything so long as it isn't a huge deviation from classic, and so long as casual guilds can still compete - and when I say compete, yes, I actually mean compete. If one guild doesn't want to rotate I don't feel they should have to.

Variance was added because of Transcendence/IB raid drama.
