Awakened and Aftermath are still camping fear golems.

A/A are honestly just better coordinated, better disciplined, larger groups of casuals who enjoy a greater level of trust in their guilds thanks to success.

Sitting on a spawn with a full raid force for 16hours is not casual. Tracking for 16 hours isn't either, but most of A/A doesn't have the time or energy for that either. They divvy up the responsibility into manageable chunks for people who do other things besides sleep and play EQ.

A/A are mostly very large groups casuals who just follow directions better than other guilds. If 3/4 can't make it, the 1/4 who do will still do what they supposed to and get it done so nobody worries if it worth responding to a bat phone when they free. They just respond to whichever ones they can and know that it is unlikely they won't field enough players for it to be a waste of time.

This was not a problem when I played on live.

There's a big difference between a concentrated guild effort for a few mobs in a particular zone and tracking / attempting every raid target in the world. Can you match the play styles to their respective category?

Much of that difference stems from the older, established guilds being full of people who have many level 60 alts to park around the world due to chardok AE. The newer folks on the raid scene don't have that luxury. People who have to mobilize won't beat people who have pre-parked characters so the former have to pick and choose what they go for. At any rate, I'm not calling them equal by any stretch--they're not--just that P99's some sort of bizarre environment where folks who're probably in the top 5% of hardcore on any other server regard themselves as casual here.

What, you mean its not competing or racing when I log out my fully NTOV geared character at one mob, to log in to another fulling geared 60 parked at another spawn?

come on you newbies, learn to compete!

Obviously.

If people truly want to raid without the crazy effort / time commitment, then they need to find another place to do it. TAKP is supposed to be a good option, Phinny is what I recommend, and allegedly they are launching a fresh TLP this summer. You can't force a square peg into a round hole.

I downloaded TAK the other day and tried it out. I love the far more classic client they use. There's true night blindness and infravision is actually a thing there. The Kelethin lifts work without spamming the switch. I rode the SirensBane across Ocean of Tears from Freeport which stopped only at Sister Island on the way to Butcherblock (didn't ride it back, but I assume it stops only at the inn on the way to Freeport) and there was no need to levitate on the boat.

It made me wish P99 would use a classic client.

They don't have means to get pixels any other way. They don't have 30-50 Alts camped out or a bat phone with hundreds on it, most of them are sitting on it with their main who is in rags. The drops off them could literally change their EQ experience. Seems like a good method at first but the burn out on poop will lead those guys eventually joining a/a/rustle.

Can always use campfires to get vulak loot on your level 1's on live servers

My level 1 warrior has over 1k hp !
