Everqust raids

Hey guys. Can you give me some info about EQ raids in general? What are they like, good stuff, bad stuff, your thoughts about them etc. It would also be really nice if someone who raided in both EQ and WoW could make a comparison between EQ raiding and WoW raiding.

WoW raiding is instanced based with a week lockout, hard mode switch available for higher quality loot.

EQ raiding is non-instanced with a 2-7 day respawn on nameds in raid zones, and hard mode switch is training yourself for no loot.

All I can say is not to bother with EQ if all you're interested in is raiding. Especially if you're already used to WOW. EQ will just piss you off.

You can always play on this server for your classic fix and go over to EZ-server or somewhere else for your raiding fix.

Project1999 is by and large is the best EQemu server out there but the raid scene is a steaming pile at the moment. Of course it was much the same on live until there were dozens of raid bosses (PoP).

You sit waiting for bosses to spawn, or you sit in ec showing off how cool you are.
