Raiding on P1999

[Lazortag]

I'm not asking for extra patches just to repop mobs, but when patches DO happen, there should be repops. They can just manually choose to do it whenever the server comes back up for a patch. It's not exploitable at all since it would just be for content related patches.

Also, I'll ask again, does anyone actively disagree with shortening the variance (let's say, cutting it in half)? I don't mean, "is there another unrelated suggestion that you prefer", I mean does anyone have any real objection to making the variance shorter?

Hello raiders of Project 1999, I've been asked by the UN (United Norrathians) to help negotiate an end to the raiding crisis on Project 1999. I would like some input from representatives of all raid-capable guilds on the following issues so that we can hopefully build a consensus on what the solution is*:

(If possible, please rank your preferences in order of "most preferred" to "least preferred". If you prefer some options equally, feel free to give them the same rank)

1. The Variance

Should the variance for 7-day spawns...:

(a) ...Be reduced to +/- 6 hours?
(b) ...Be reduced to +/- 12 hours?
(c) ...Stay the same?
(e) ...Be increased? (By how much? Please specify)
(d) Other (please specify)

2. Patch-day Repops

On patch days, when the server comes back up, how should repops be handled?

(a) Repops (of raid mobs) should happen every patch (except for accidental downtime, emergency patches, etc.)
(b) Repops should happen sometimes when the server patches, but not always.
(c) Option (a), but repops should not happen immediately after the server reboots; there should be a variance on repops.
(d) Option (b), but repops should not happen immediately after the server reboots; there should be a variance on repops.
(e) Repops should never happen because of patches.
(f) Other (please specify)

3. The 15-Man Rule

Should the "15-Man Rule"...:

(a) ...Be abolished?
(b) ...Be increased (for example, to the "24-Man Rule")?
(c) Other (please specify)

Feel free to give justifications for your rankings.
