Save the Server, Allow guild instanced raid zones

[Swish]

I server hopped a bunch as well.

Prexus > Lanys > Luclin > Vazaelle > Tholuxe

...then SoE got their shit together and gave the Euros some servers. Ended up on Venril Sathir and could raid at sane times [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i still say variance is lowered significantly with regular repops (~2-4 weeks)

Honestly things have improved a lot since Velious. The most straight-foward and easy way to make the server a little more healthy is to release Luclin and eventually pop. Look at some of these blue guilds.....do they really belong on a Velious server? Its like putting Mike Tyson back in time to a boxing ring in the 1950s.

WoW wasn't bad as a community until they added realm instancing where you basically meet 4 other people you'll never see again and crawl/grind through a dungeon you've all done 50 times while often not talking unless to berate someone not playing their class properly [You must be logged in to view images.

Bamm. Nailed it perfectly. This is exactly what I experienced when I tried to return to WoW a couple months ago. I even paid for a 3 month sub and then deactivated my account one week later and joined p99.

I'd say the only "difficulty" remaining on P99 is competing with other guilds for raid targets.

So now we want to remove competition? Why not just play on one of the underpopulated EQEMU servers?

While the competition between raid guilds right now is pretty abysmal, this guy hit it right on the head. Classic EverQuest was never meant to be a loot pinata for hardcore raid nerds.

Phinigel server coming out..
No Boxing - check
Instanced raids - check
Planned progression - check.

Obviously, OP was on to something.

You haven't even the slightest clue how much engine rework would need to be done to apply this feature to a classic server. It's a lot and won't happen. Sorry.
