in fact leapfrogging is a much bigger problem in almost every zone but pofear.

Well as I have stated before I think EQ is just not designed to deal with two raid forces in the same zone. It's always going to about training stuff away and there isn't a lot that can be done about this other without substantial changes to game mechanics. However, I think the issue is particularly severe in the Plane of Fear because of the way Cazic summons the zone. I remember when I was in VD we had like 10 zone desyncs in a row when zerging him with 75 players and 100+ mobs being summoned and that Botnet trying to hunt him down when he was at 5% or something.

this is basically what I am proposing. The server goes down, so everyone has to camp out, and when they log back in . . . things have changed.

I just don't see EQ raiding as difficult when you can always zerg stuff. If you can't handle the Avatar of War with 24, bring 50. Or 100. Or 200. I'm sure the server will have some 500-1000 raiders when everyone comes back for Velious.

P.S. I finally figured out Propo Fol thanks to your avatar. It's a cute name!
