Almost all TMO have been pretty friendly from my experience. Granted im not contesting raid spawns against them though.

I think its good but you are really screwing over the euros by only spawning mobs in the afternoons and evenings. I don't see a problem just leaving it entirely random, I'm sure other guilds will log on for late night attempts when there is a server msg and they don't have to do any tracking.

I just love the whole idea of the random server repop once a week and the varience being cut in half.
Thanks for doing it and Thanks for the server!

I think all of these are great improvements, would like to see maybe some more accommodation for Euro/Az/Aus timezones like many have mentioned about, or making the variance timer to better accommodate all timezones

If I still lived in Japan I would adamantly be voicing against this. I think it's a good point still though, it should be random so all players can have a chance, even if they make up a smaller player base.

Maybe if the RNG picks a weekend have the time be any hour of the day?

We are discussing the VP No Staff Involvement Rules internally but have not reached a decision yet.

And to elaborate, we probably won't make any changes before the changes in the OP get implemented.. and if we only do repops for raid mobs, VP will not be included unless it is an entire server repop as being discussed. Reasoning for this is that this entire change is to benefit the smaller guilds, which I don't see affecting VP in it's current state.

Well the way it affects the smaller guilds is that at least BDA and probably TMO would spend some time there, thus giving them time to go after other stuff.

But IMO thats just finetuning, the key is doing simultaneous repops and experimenting a bit. Overall things sound great.
