I think when you get down to it, if they could be honest with themselves, most people complaining just want some form of a rotation, even one that isn't completely fair to them as long as it grants them more than they have now.

Look Jeremy. You and Sirken can wave the whiner flag all you want. The fact of the matter is that this server is supposed to be a recreation of classic. Currently it is not. Who benefits from reverting it to classic is not really the point.

A proper recreation of classic would include other classic servers for people to choose from, so as to prevent hundreds of people from sitting on a spawn every time it's about to show up.

Very true, the server has too many players for 1 server but not enough for multiple. its a difficult situation no doubt, but does the variance really help other than limiting the amount of players/guilds...Willing, to commit to sort of dedication required here on p99.

I suspect a number of people who no longer play would play more if there were multiple servers to spread out the hardcore people. I'm not really advocating opening another server because I don't think they would want to, but I feel it is important to point out that other people are advocating "pure classic" without really considering the full scope of what it is that makes this classic.

Also this wouldn't work unless there were cross-server IP checks in place because as everyone knows the fully immersed ones (most of which are in your guild, no offense to you personally) would simply multibox across every server and the number of actual humans added to the pool of people enjoying content would be lucky to increase by a third.

You aren't wrong. I think without variance the raid scene will suck as you say. However, the raid scene sucks NOW. 80% of high level players don't even want to show up. And if i have to choose between two bad choices I'm going to pick the one that's classic and fair over the one thats not classic and unfair.

Ultimately though I think we need some tokens just because we have 4x the high-level population any classic server would have seen.

This is of course the only logical reasoning to the P99 socking/classic argument.
