Daldaens wonderfully classic suggestions aside, the main problem (if you can even call it that) is the top heavy nature of this server. No server during classic on live was anything remotely like p99 is now. Its a pretty interesting experiment, at least that's how I view it.
It took eq quite some time to arrive at instances because of this very issue. People were paying so it had to be done. Nilbog has the luxury of having no pressure whatsoever to worry about these trivialities. Which is fuckin great! And btw you cant agree or disagree with anything more than 100%. | ||

With all due respect this is the absolute worst fucking idea ever.
It's OP's mindset that screwed up eq in the first place. Instancing is awful for all the reasons already mentioned but also because it borks the economy. Way too many nameds being dropped at the same time. All at the same time also completely ruining immersion and any real sense of achievement in this game. I get that everyone has a life outside eq and some of these modern amenities make sense and are appealing when you have limited time to play but As someone said already, if that is the kind of game you're after go play wow or the hundreds of other games that instance. A great majority of the magic of eq is chasing down named mobs and knowing you got it to 'pop' and the named you're fighting is the -only -one up and -you - are the lucky one to kill it! Killing a named with Instancing means little to nothing. The accomplishment devalued as 11 others are probably being killed at the same time. Immersion ultimately fucked and eqs magic fades out. It's literally the absolute worst idea ever

The competition is what brings me back to the server honestly. I take breaks here and there when I get tired of the politics/petitions which is a byproduct of it though without a doubt. I am sure this is the case with a lot of players who have raided at the high end on this server.
I think Daldaen's idea would make it more accessible for more casual players no doubt. It still wouldn't stop the skilled players who invest time and effort more than those casual players from getting the majority of the targets. Honestly, the end game raid scene on this server is more about innovating inside the rule book to secure mobs. You use the game mechanics in front of you to make things easier. Emergent gameplay is alive and well on this server. Instances would take away the parts of raiding that makes this server unique. You have to make split second decisions and have them work out in your favor to win mobs. These decisions have moving parts and people that have to work together and communicate or it all falls apart. It takes time to build that communication and teamwork up to make it run flawlessly and smooth in the situations this server presents. People who invest the time to perfect that will have success.
