Probably true, but all the "non-classic?" stuff about it, that would never be right, would be really offputting to someone who played through pop.
Right, its not going to be P99 PoP quality.

I haven't played live since 2001, but why would this server be considered non-classic if it is only expanding up to PoP era? I was considering this server because I was curious to see what happened after Velious as I quit live right when Velious came out. I'm really enjoying Velious but I think at some point I am going to want new content and this might be the way to go, especially if they are limiting boxing.

It will have issues, I'm sure, but I'm pretty excited about it either way.

In later expansions SoE changed a lot about the game which effects older content. And they don't reverse those changes for progression servers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, the most they do is apply a huge buff to raid mobs so that they aren't super easy. Does this buff apply to anything else, or just bosses?

It's still an intriguing prospect for players to see at least see PoP again. People love progression servers, for whatever reason, and this one will stop at exactly the right time. Aside from Velious, when the quality of the game was probably the best. I think EQ peaked at PoP. It was the best mix of hardcore raiding with still lots to do if you're casual, and it had convenience features. Luclin and Velious gear and content was still relevant if you weren't in an end game guild, so there was tons to do content wise.

Hi. Hope you guys are all doing well. I miss the FE/TMO crew, but not the game really.

The real question is, who is gonna create a guild for all of us to play together?

PS. Leave your P99 drama at the door. New server new friends.
