My initial feelings on Archeage

They would still be static, and one guild would always show up with more/better people and take it, which would result in a snowball of one side stopping to bother showing up, and one side getting most of the new recruits.

The winning guild cannot be responsible for balancing the box.

and you actually think variance will balance the server? all it will do is make it harder for smaller guilds with not enough neckbeards to kill anything when it spawns at insane hours

The biggest guild with the most neckbeards will always be able to take what they want in EverQuest, variance or not. It is therefor 100% up to the "winning" guild if they want to have competition/balance or not.

Nihilum chose not to. Azrael has done the same. Variance wouldn't change it one bit.

And no one bothers camping/pvping during off times because of how tedious low pop EQ is heh.

Or they're boxing/have a crew.

win by default

I think atm no guild has the chance to compete with Azrael heads up static timer, therefore no one competes with Azrael.

If enough Nihi neckbeards came back to beat Azrael, then Azrael would stop contesting.

I think variance might allow for something different to happen, or a different form of variance, such as a primetime window of 6pm-1am, or something similar.

I think I can predict what will happen if nothing changes, and it's one guild farming the important targets with minimal time.

Or we just wait and see what Velious does, but this is over-analyzing to death that "set the timers to something decent" argument.

[Stasis01]

We shouldn't be able to choose to take PD/VS/Sev/Inny/CT one day a week within 5 hours. Sorry, just being honest.

Even the super casuals can show up for that shit.

Not even going to debate it anymore. You're taking the absolute worst part of EverQuest (waiting for shit) and expanding it out x100. It's just a stupid ass idea dude.

I wrote out a novel but don't really care - if you try to compete with Azrael as an underdog even once I'll reply.

You simply have no perspective on it, you'd probably just lay low awhile and app Azrael TBH.
