16 hour windows aren't that bad when everything is close together. It can keep things interesting I guess.

The problem comes up after windows get spread out like they are now. Mobs are currently spawning between Monday AM and Friday PM, which means basically 5 full days of tracking.
Ugh. Having to raid everyday in a raiding guild. I happened to like the long spread out windows because there was a good chance you'd kill something at least once a day.

I can agree with the sentiment there. However back in the day you didn't have the sheer number of mobs that Velious added. I'd like to have something fun for people to enjoy and keeps people around. Instead we see fun people to play the game with burn out and leave.

The bolded part just isn't true. Anything over 8 hours with this racing system is terrible. Also lower windows give you something close to what you desire. Just won't make it simultaneous. It will make for a fun 4 to 8 hours every week when repops happen though.
Problem with 8 hrs vs 16 hrs is that you are going to only cater to the people in that one timezone - imagine all the windows got reset at 8am with 8 hour variance for instance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just isn't true. The timers will be set by the time hard server reset repops occur. Nobody is leaving mobs up when there is competition. So no windows are getting spread to certain time zones. Raid guilds will raid at any hour. We learned that by now on this server. When we from larger raiding guilds tell you something is better. Just trust us for once and understand that it is better.

Love when people say this. Nothing on this server is fucking classic. Mob names are, I guess.

actually the way the name appears is unclassic there should be no shadowing making it much easier to read

I always think I want to play P99 for fun then I come to the forums and read threads like these and suddenly get the feeling I'm stepping into a locker room of sweaty nerds arguing over who gets dibs on the water fountain, shower and toilet paper rights.

Since when do you think the nerds had any control of any of that in a locker room? I'd say they were lucky to be the ones signing out the equipment, but then again what do I know, not like I can remember that far back.

Cool story. Remember when TMO got suspended and everyone loved how the server was with them gone? Yeah it's the same thing.
Says the drama queen who apped to us knowing just how dominating we were on the raid scene. Then gets kick. and all of a sudden says shes all casual.
