This didnt age well

Well Kunark still hasn't started so there's a chance for everything to do a 180 and be super chill and relaxing after this week.

The part I find funny in this entire conversation is top live guilds at this point did not have the resources or want to fight over targets at all times of the night... even top 10 serverwide guilds raided at prime time every night... yqll keep using live guilds as comparison and its nowhere near the same... and thats coming from a 1%er of live raiders

I remember targets being up for days at a time back on live.

Because there were 40 servers on live and the same amount of jeckbeards as there are on P99, so they were spread out more. Servers didn't have Seal Team guilds with that many no lifers in .

Each server had a seal team...but even the no lifers of classic EQ didn't allow their lives to be ran by a game.

Exactly. I was in a top raid guild. You went after the targets that were up during our raid schedule during the which was 6 PM to 12 AM ET during. Being a ton younger then we still understood balance. If a Euro or Pacific guild got a target during the week then that's how it worked out.

I'm not sure when encouraging broken people to get more broken began.

^ this. Of all the differences between actual 1999 EverQuest and P99, the raid scene seems like the most unrecognizable. And yet people, especially aligned with the status quo of the server, want to point to this imagined version of actual 1999 EQ as some appeal to authority that gives them free reign to behave like greedy children. Always been baffling to me.

I honestly think it stems from 99% of the p99 raid force having 0 fucking idea of what live raiding was actually like.

Some of the people on p99 weren't even alive or old enough to actually play classic EQ.
