I lied, Devs Budge on New Raid Size

Turns out I lied, looks like the devs cracked after tons of posts against the idea.  Rytan:

After continued discussion and reviewing the copious amounts of feedback we’ve received over the raid size reduction we’ve decided not to drop the raid size and instead leave it at 54 for now.  We are continuing to examine alternate methods of allowing raid content to become more accessible to smaller groups and will be experimenting with some of them over the next several months.

We appreciate your continued feedback and support that helps make EverQuest the great game that it is.

While I personally feel it was the correct decision, that’s not what makes me happy.  It appeared the Devs had their hearts set on this new raid limit, but enough player feedback lead them to change their minds.  It’s nice to know that occasionally player feedback is actually heard.
