This would cause an increase in the resist gear market, spread out the wealth, get the community more into the game. I also think that for new players it will make the game more appealing and give them a sence of pride if them and their group of friends could start their own small guild, build it up, and eventually join the rotation.
TMO could easily split and have 5-8 guilds worth on the rotation.

or

Would you expect them all to take the major loss of having the largest guild to feed on a rotation where there are numerous guilds capable of taking out 85% of the targets easily.

This would probably happen for BDA as well, possibly Taken as well if they are as large as they once were. They could easily split into 2-3 guilds each. FE could probably split.

Each guild on the rotation would be forced to keep a minimum sized roster to maximize loot/member ratio.

As bubbles has said before, Project1999 has a much larger raid capable player base than any live server of back in the day.

Now lets take the no-repops with the large variance and just throw a 20 guild rotation at it. Sounds like fun, each guild can have about 2 1/2 of every 96hr raid spawn per year! Unless more people join the rotation, then you'll probably see smaller guilds on the rotation for the easier mobs, so you'll probably only see 2 or 1 1/2 of those per year.

The only rotation that would probably work, would be something like Open/TMO/Everyone else.

Confirmed mad because I personally nuked his TMO application from orbit.

You are the scum of the server that some people think TMO is.

This sentence reads awkward. I don't think I've ever had an interaction with you before, sorry you feel that way. Like I told the TMO officers no hard feelings, I just like to raid.

Everyone who played original EQ knows Luclin ruined it.*ducks* Thats why I wanted to play here, I think Velious was a terrific expansion, and I want the nostalgia of playing it again. I don't want it to be ruined by being over geared by future expansions, and I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

So why do you think people would go to EQMac exactly? It's not the same feel at all that it is here, and the game dynamics are quite different. Plus there is boxing over there. It is a whole different animal.

I liked Luclin and PoP actually. I understand the arguments against the bazaar and PoK books. I agree with them. Velious is my favorite expansion but I play to raid and Luclin has some fucking awesome raids.
