Nah, /guildwar would be a much better investment of time/resources.

Play red. It's literally the ideal raid scene you're asking for.

Red is deader than TMO.

I did once. It was the loneliest I've ever felt.

A whole library of color-coded spreadsheets shared on GoogleDocs with an army of neckbeards constantly editing them? There is no "competing" with this. Whatever the hell "competition" means on a PvE server anyways. Also......NOT CLASSIC.

The metagame has drastically changed everything, which is why people are shouting for instances, which is just another change to a game that is already drastically changed. This server is long gone. Lawyerquest will never stop, nobody will "play nice." The only thing you can do is either have a pixel addiction and want to sit in teamspeak with your buddies and hardcore poopsock, or play the game on your on terms, which requires not having a pixel addiction, which is really why people play MMOs in the first place.

Instancing will change the game entirely and it is impossible to implement. Nobody wants to roll Red because nobody wants to leave their precious pixels behind and lots of people like just being able to sit on a spawn and talk in voicechat without getting killed. A lot of people would probably like Red its just nobody wants to start over on a completely empty server. Especially consider that most people who play here now can't even "play" EQ anyways and can't get levels without a PLVL or Chardok AOE, so the idea of people going to a low populated Red server, although great, will never happen.

Assimilate or play another game, thats P99 folks. Have fun.

4 years of Kunark along with two years of a steady Chardok AOE machine (essentially created by the neckbeards who wanted their guild to "win" and lock out everybody else) has bloated the top end of this server beyond all repair. All the comments about "classic" guilds are right on...even people who paid for two Gold accounts were spending a pretty penny to play EQ, someone with 10 lvl 60 alts was not only impossible from a time standpoint but also from a financial standpoint.

The server has nowhere to go and there's way too many 60s. Chardok AOE from a mechanic standpoint is "classic" but it really has negatively affected the server. It would be easier to nerf Chardok AOE than this two years + of Lawyerquest culture. It is currently beyond all repair. So much of "classic" EQ was the adventure and "difficulty" of making it to 60, not coming over from another MMO and plvling your alts to 60 as fast as possible so you can be Mr. Cool on Teamspeak, which by the way also didn't really exist back then. 100 people in a VOIP program in 2001??? Come on now people. Elaborate guild forums and DKP counters? Not "classic" at all.

With the appropriate level distribution, patch repops, lack of variance, and non-zerg guilds, "classic" EQ didn't NEED instances. The metagame here has completely changed EQ and has turned it into a miserable experience. This metagame DKP and raid attendance % ripped from MMOs that came years later changes the game drastically. Most players on this server can't even really "play" EQ. At all. Its sad really.

Oh god I loved guild wars. It was extra exciting when you had to travel with guildies in case of ambushes.
