Regarding the end game pve raiding scene:

I have a pending proposal for all management and staff to review. If all goes well, you will have news about it soon. Ultimately I would like to have a raid scene in which competition still exists, but that competition isn't solely based on time spent waiting.

Lovely to hear, although I disagree that the raid scene should have competition. EQ grew to market dominance rapidly because of PvE, not PvP (and competing versus other players for content = PvP, even if you aren't killing them).

If players have the force to do the content, they shouldn't have to wait; but they also shouldn't get to do the same raid content over and over and over again.

So forced rotation?

You think EQ grew because there was shit to kill and not because there was competition to kill the shit? And that competition to kill the shit is PvP?

There is so much wrong with every part of your logic that I don't know where to begin.

Curious.

Seems more people are playing today early day time than at peek times during night this past week,and the forums are booming with less trolling. I think it goes hand in hand.

Might be a temporary surge, hope not though.

One day's worth of data or "observance" is not noteworthy

There is definitely a positive energy around. TMO being banned has let the good side of the server come out.

Hopefully it will still be there in a few weeks when they allowed to return.

More TMO are logging in to just chat then logging in only to raid.
