Newbie guild raid questions

[druziil]

being the "top" raiding guild is all about progression. i believe that once guilds equip their 6th and 7th string of each class, they will get bored, burn out, and fade from the "hardcore" raiding scene. By then, you might be ready to start raiding =P

This is sort of what I'm hoping for i suppose. It's also possible there may be enough targets in velious to handle more than 1~2 guilds at a time. I assume the top guilds will focus on ntov, should leave room for farming etov, kael, etc yes?

My concern now is what happens when the progression ends at velious?

the same thing that's happening now. the end-game will become stagnant, everyone will have gigantic hordes of wealth and nothing to spend it on, and every mob will be camped for 24 hours before it spawns.

the only thing preventing this server from dying is the fact that kunark is coming out "soon."

Depends what you mean by "dying". If every top raiding guild quit right now due to boredom or whatever I don't think the server would come crashing to a halt. Probably 70+% of the server doesn't raid.

people should relax a little, roll an Alt and enjoy the damn game instead of trying to smash through it as fast as possible. I was so happy when Sony did the progression servers until people smashed through em so fast and it was post classic in no time. Thankfully this server isn't releasing expantions based on what a few people do.

I consider myself a hardcore raider but my memories of EQ were of the long road to 50 rather then the raids i did after. I completely understand the OPs point but my thoughts on it are that the people at the top are not to camp something once all their people have everything they want. May take a while but there should be room for casual raiders.
