You are on a journey to the high end that is a brick wall, put up just below the top, with no hope of achieving your epic unless you buy it(besides monk) due to immense boredom and RMT rackets farming the shit out of your epic drops.
There are a plethora of problems on the server that arent evident until you really get to see them for yourself.
While the evil eye might have a long line you are at least on an equal ground with everyone and have an infinitely better chance at getting more out of your time invested in a new server than the journey you are traveling down now, which will lead to mediocrity.
Your mileage may vary and my opinion is an opinion, take it as you will and regardless, I hope you do enjoy your experiences here on p99 and get what you want out of it.

No Rhuma, I am not on a journey that has put me against a brick wall. You see it this way because you have the destination in mind. Your objective is the attainment of the best pixels and the acquisition of the best loot. That is one way to look at the game and I have nothing against anyone who looks at it that way.
I am on a journey where the objective is the journey, and the pixels that drop along the way are a way to assist in me in that journey and nothing more. I want to see and do the things that I never got a chance to do on Live because I spent too much time leveling feverishly in LOIO and the OT to catch up with my friends who were 20 levels ahead of me. I want to stop and smell the roses this time around, conquering things when they were meant to be conquered with the friends I make along the way.
To this end I have defeated the gnoll commander in Blackburrow, XP'd on the 2nd floor of Befallen with a full group, ducked through tiny doors while pulling mobs in the house in Unrest. I have spent hours in Solusek's Eye crawling through to Kindle and the goblin bartender. I have been in Upper Guk and shown the froglok scryer, froglok warden and shin lord that they are no match for me. I have left my sword in the corpses of the High Priest Zaharn and ice giant diplomat in Permafrost Keep. I have been on the 3rd floor of Dalnir killing Kly by the score. I have showed the Avatar of Fear and Tae Ew Archon in Cazic-Thule that their god is weaker than Rallos Zek, slain the goblin warder and Soothsayer Dreszhok in the Temple of Droga, and defeated the Solusek kobold king in Nagafen's lair. This is how I measure success and this is how I have fun in this game. By this yardstick my time on p1999 has been wildly successful thus far and I expect it to continue to be successful.
I completely understand where you are coming from, I only hope that you understand that not everyone plays the game for the reasons you do, even if it seems that a majority of players do because you are an old schooler who reads the forums regularly.
