Rizlona has AoCs, Ragefire is also like 18 expansions ahead.

Rizlona also doesn't have that glacial unlock timing with votes that was so absolutely ridiculous.

im on ragefire now, but a maxed 6 crew is getting to me. maybe ill start some guys over there for fun.
I need boxing. EQ without it is excessively hard for no reason.
Right, but how fast will that lead to burnout? Batphoning KT/Doze/vulak was already enough... It'll just be very hard to defend all those mobs. And, yes... you could batphone vindi every 8 hours for vulak loot... or you can batphone vindi and 5 other mobs and they all drop zlandi hearts and vindi boots etc etc. So, it's not like you're waking up to a lord feshlak batphone for free vulak loot. What will play out is the guild has to make a decision... do we let these other guilds clean up the scraps or do we batphone every single time a guild gets near a potential vulak dropping boss.
Mischief also gets to compete with the botters warping to their raid targets. Takes them way less time to get to tov than a real guild. They'll have anything in DN/WW/ToV dead before the OW guild gets across sirens.
I'm sure they will go after plenty of targets, but they will definitely have to make decisions to let other people take mobs in the middle of the night or early morning. It wont be possible to defend all the vulak targets (if it's anything like Kunark).

Imagine how much nicer these servers would be if they just removed the open world raid spawns.
Keep it all to DZs, play with your guild, don't mind what other people are doing in this game.

You play to get loot to gear your character. You are now getting a lot more loot every kill, and you don't have to go elsewhere to get a large selection of loot. You gear your character very quickly. You gear up a couple more. It gets monotonous, and another game came out. And, you're done.

If you keep it all to a DZ and play with your guild... how does what happens in OW affect you at all?
I've been in a high efficiency DZ guild and OW pissing fights never mattered to me. We'd occasionally snipe something when it was our raid time, but outside of that it's like they didn't exist.

Ragefire/LJ were the last time you'll see anything like that I'm sure. AoCs have to help tremendously for subs/retention.

I mean the OG AoC server Phinigel was pretty feisty at times. Dima certainly did not go away after losing 1 or 2 races.
Everquest raids have gotten more difficult. Back in the days it was easy, because there weren't so many gimmicks. I haven't raided much lately. But I did Solteris, and that one seemed like it was hard as hell. It was old expansion content. Did it with a group etc. Nothing seem to match the hallucination video game though. That one is the highest level.
Rosengard was a "batphone" guild on both RF and Phinny. They just didn't batphone 24/7, they had set raid times and if stuff spawn during those times they would !RT and if you were online they expected you to raid.
Edit: AoS Basically had scheduled bathphones for all of Kunark which was an hour or so before Rosen was in their Batphone window.

Coirnav had RI and TFC fighting over ow content for quite a while, Europa Mangler contested ow mobs in their time zone regularly (and even got some wins) but didn't bother during US prime time.
Agnarr was probably the only server where the buck was fully broken.
EQBaby didn't get much competition but RWT did try to contest some ow stuff once again in Euro time where they could be competitive. Victorem tried to get an OW VT boss and Atabishi watched them clear trash until they were about half way to the boss then batphoned and CoTH'd a raid past them, and after being mocked in ooc by Hicks they didn't bother much after that. Altered minds sniped a couple of mobs while TEB weren't paying attention and thought that made them king dicks lol
