			 Create a new post with an idea.  Hobby and amelinda are at least reading this that we can see, plus i'm sure GP is around.  You're confusing General with R&F.

			 Yep, that's me. Supreme troll. I'm not budging, though. Unless there's confirmation that there may potentially be a problem or not you'll get nothing. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		Yes, it's nearly impossible to fully and completely emulate classic eq and that experience. But there should be no reason to deviate unless there's good ground for it. As i said, there's FAR more reason to ban multiboxing than there is for massive variance. Azzbad, it takes 2 minutes to read it. That's all i'm asking.  | ||

			 ITT: Skope bitches about the current state of raiding, then offers no suggestions on how to improve it.

			 How few people do we have to kill stuff with before people quit with that nonsense?

			 Think the argument they were making is, just because people throw numbers at a dragon, doesn't mean shit. You can throw 36 lvl 50 wizards at naggy, I know who will win, and I'll give you a hint, it has a tail. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		So there is no nonsense. Stop taking stuff so personally. You're the one who threw out the 60 people nonsense. I can counter, where the 2 guilds really working together?Or were they both rushing to dick over TR and not have the correct force to win. The 2 different guilds the week before trying Trak, were they serious attempts? VD tried with 25 people, just to give it a shot and see what happened.Stop thumping yourself on the chest thinking EQ is this great hard game. Sure it can be a challenge, but the right numbers and people who are awake can beat anything. I sure in the hell wouldn't be bragging about any trak kills up till now.Killing a Bugged out encounter with messed up melee damage added on, isn't something to hoop and holla about.  | ||

			 Not posting idea's, but rather waiting for rogean or nilbog to respond, is wasting your time. Ill explain why... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		Rogean: Handles the CSR team, manages EQEMU, hosts the website and server, does the ip exemptions/reimbursements/lost characters, deals with players on a whole. Nilbog: main coder/leader of P99, handles all things code...content. thats database, perl, maps etc... the project as a whole. They, for the most part, do not have the time to waste discussing a new raiding scene...especially when there is nothing wrong with what we have already. That is not to say they are not open to the idea, but the tweaking and the general public agreeance is the ONLY THING THAT WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION. We are not opposed to editing and improving rules. But, as they are right now, theres very little reason to change anything. If better ideas become public consensus, then its now something we would consider amongst ourselves. Keep in mind that we enjoy the competition, and reducing competition to a poopsock time-sink only causes more problems. Its nice to think "well we wont need gm's if we do this..." but this isnt a fairytale. Every change in a rule will either increase work for us or decrease it. We have FTE Varience because it takes us almost out of the equation --- 200 people do not sit on a spawn point, its clearly a race and people will see who engage it first 90% of the time, thus leaving very little to us to monitor. A smaller varience is nice in theory, but it increases the risk of poopsocking, thus increasing the risk of causing US issues. My favorite idea has been and always will be a completely random spawn. Sunday to Saturday, every mob has a chance to pop only once in that entire week (except draco), if the mob hasnt popped by saturday night it would be forced. Then sunday all timers start again. That will never happen, but i personally like it.  | ||
