[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6393505, member: 78752"] We got Vault of the Dracolich up to 16 players. I can see hitting 32 with good support staff. Forty might be a stretch. And it's important to note that it doesn't run like a raid. Raid groups travel as a pack, but multi-party adventures involve multiple starting locations and objectives. Even in the final encounter, which could be called a boss fight, you've got different parties with diverse makeups, working on different goals. In a classic raid you've got different parties but they're homogenous -- fighters tank, clerics heal the fighters, rogues burn the boss down and the mages handle adds. And they're all fighting in the same room. I was wondering where all of those were. That is awesome! THAT IS AWESOME! So much character death. It would be glorious. There are still MMOGs that focus on that style of play -- Wildstar just came out this past summer and it has at least one 40-man raid. But it's a niche audience, for sure. Perhaps as a result, Wildstar's having kind of a tough time. [/QUOTE]
