A thought on chronological releases: Starting this server at Classic, then moving upward over time, when we get there I think PoP/LoY should be released simultaneously, followed by Gates/LDoN being simultaneous.
12-man seems... doable.
Perhaps for 'most' raid content, but tune up expansion end-bosses for 18, or even 24? That'd be.... I'd say classic would be all 12-man, if we're counting planes in classic. Afterward:
Kunark: Phara Dar
Velious: either all 12man, or bump up Halls of Testing(I think it's open to debate, but HoT is considered end-game for Velious by many)
Luclin: Aten Ha Ra (and Emp SSRA?)
PoP/LoY: Quarm (or all of Time?) - side note, the 'raid' mobs from LoY should be tuned for 6man groups, which, for this server, with group content tuned for 3 players, would be the equivalent of a small raid.
GoD/LDoN: Tunat (OR Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk's(txevu) AND all of Tacvi?)
OoW: Mata (OR all of CoA)
DoDH: Mayong (OR all of Demi)
PoR: Ayonae Ro (OR all of Deathknell)
Etc. I think that's a solid list for starters, and provides a good couple years worth of content for a progression emu server, there's room for debate on most of it, the idea might be scrapped entirely, and if we go with it - it's entirely possible for us to flush out the list well ahead of the time TSS and beyond are 'released'
