Also fuck 1hr lockouts, stupidiest shit ever. Live pulls are what make P99 fun. The threat of another guild there are ready to steal mobs is what makes it exciting.
I'm not in favor of forced rotation or bringing back locks. As a framework I'd like to see:
- quake only repops, no more 16 hour windows (makes guilds go to different zones). there are some complexities with this that need to be considered as not all raid targets are 7 days;
- 1 hour server broadcast warning ahead of repop (essentially what was trying to be done with 1 hour locks before);
- forced succor to zoneline when the quake hits. whether offline players should be succored (coth bots) can be debated but my vote is YES

casual dreams were crushed by esoteric rules that arent even clearly compiled anywhere that's the real story here.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

^ this.

Looking at the raid rules was insufficient to inform me of how many hidden, nuanced rules may actually exist to drain the fun from the game (ie: overcoming challenges created by rule adherence)

It's a dumb rule, agreed. However, that rule is the very reason Lady N and Vulak were even still up in the first place.

Everquest was intended to be a simulator for elf erotic role play so that creative people with high wpm like me could steal money from desperate sickos after saying I'm a girl irl now watch me shower here in the EC tunnel and then maybe something more... [You must be logged in to view images.

Sounds like you just need to step up your ERP game. I make 10k pp an hour on Callgirl. This server is a plat mine. Here's a hint: target the most addicted neckbeards. They're most likely to be sex deprived and have more platinum to pay out.

For samples of my writing see "A Collection of Norrathian Homo-Erotica and other Fetishes".

I admit you have superior ERP. Perhaps shouting in EC tunnel that I will felch for 100pp is not the most lucrative strategy.......
