LOL. I'm only laughing because, should you ever get bored, hop on over to
www.solusekro.org...
where we have TRIED to have such a system. I agree that they can work
remarkably well most of the time, but on Sol Ro, well, lets just say things
have become less than friendly many a time. Problem is there are SO many
guild that can do any plane that the reservation system would be 3 to 4
MONTHS in advance (and this is for weeknights). Most guilds do tend to go
to a plane for a week though. Our arguments usually are about one guild
"stealing" the plane from another. Its REALLY fun! (sarcasm intended) :)
