    The Order of Drunken Elders (ODE) and The Lancermane Family (TLF) got together tonight in order to test the first phase of the coming raid system - 1st phase being 12 in the same party.

    We went to Eastreach CP ( because we fight there a lot lately :D ) - to see if 12 peeps in a Party would work in terms of Party health bars/Healing/Exp shared/etc:

    What we focus'd on was:
    1 - If we could see all 12 healthbars and how they would fit on the UI.
    2 - Would a full party of 12 be able to achieve the equivalent of an 8 party in terms of xp gained (IE attenuate in 1hr or less).
    3 - If there were any issues such as the ability to use both single heals and group heals on all 12.

    What we found is shown in the pic below (as well as text below it) including xp's gained in an hr for all.

    What we found was:
    1 - All 12 healthbars show, but lower resolutions have issues with running out of vertical space on screen.
    2 - We achieved (with 11 party members) 4 1/2 mill (current max being 5 mill)... not bad.
    3 - Our healer reported being able to heal all 12.

    Beginning recommendation:

    Add peeps in a party to the API so our Lua people can do the work involved in giving us the ability to move the health bars separately and to wherever we wish on screen . (Unless you have that covered already).
    But, those health bars have to be able to be targeted, of course......

    Not sure how that needs to be done, but it is really, really needed - and will only be needed more as we move from a Party (raid) of 12 to even more (which has been said is coming)...

    My apologies @Ravalox .... you are of course correct.
    Sorry you had to move it, and thank you for doing so ...

    Now THAT looks like fun! It looks like 12 member parties give guilds more opportunities to work together and still have gain decent rewards at the same time.
