Tried it over and over. Hasn't worked. Requires too much discipline -- not on me, but on the more casual players I often wish to play with. They want to play whenever they want to play. We get out of sync.

I've been trying solutions within the existing game's framework for over two years. None of those have been satisfactory. At the moment my account is inactive (primarily due to this issue). 2.3 will probably bring me back. If they added ... something ... to solve this problem, they'd get me back for certain.

I suppose another way to handle it might be to specify level caps for particular guild ranks. If we set things so that the rank of "lowbie" could not level past 20th level, we'd be able to make level 20 a sync point. Then when we had done all the content we wanted at that level, raise the level limit on that guild rank to 25. I guess twink guilds would love the heck out of that mechanic as well. But I'd prefer something more dynamic, with less organizational overhead, without requiring guild membership, myself.
