People will have to park their characters all over the World, not just KC and VP


One guild will not always have its max zerg numbers for every target


Opportunity for smaller guilds to place strong emphases on targets that interest them.


World bosses not so easily monopolized.


(not a troll, these are legit points from someone who has first hand experience in how variance makes EQ better.

Sim repops and random server resets have proven that random pops DO NOT RESULT IN MORE PVP and in fact result in LESS PVP.

I don't know how more clear the data can be.

Here is the time, bring your best I will bring my best and may the best guild win. That is what eq is all about son.

variance gives u a period of expectation of a few hours during which to PVP ... When Sim repops originally came out and were being triggered the amount of KC PVP was unreal, you can't be serious. Variance would multiply that by 8 zones...

You are not even trying.

sim repops bad for server imo, variance is the only way to go

less loot
more pvp
longer healthier server

I can't trust anything a 6x felon says.

Not that i care one way or another

But one big pro of variance getting implemented is Lite not shitting up the forums with these threads anymore

[Gustoo]

I don't care

But simulated patch days (repop) that are spaced out roughly the same way patches were on live (same time span between repops) would be classic and is a great idea.

I think in between the simulated patch days, the mobs should spawn on the same timers that they spawned on classic.
