Support for a server split?

We are less than half what a live server population was on live. Splitting the server to deal with the top heaviness of one aspect of the game (i.e. raiding) would only harm the entire server community as a whole.

Its a static server. No surprises in the content or the game play. Anyone who wants a perma-classic server has to do deal with this reality. P99 stopped "recreating" classic EQ a long time ago---we are in some kind of crazy experiment testing what would have happened on live if the game froze in classic but continued to play on for four years.

There are only two types of folks who will be happy on p99 imo. 1) Those who enjoy the static game (resulting in no new content, crazy economy, crazy gearing, top tier bloating, etc.) for various reasons of their own. And, 2) People who are having fun playing, but will quit eventually when the static nature of the server gets to them.

You want to know the highest population date in P99's life when we look back? It won't be Classic launch, Kunark release, or even Velious release. It will be the day that the next iteration of p99 (re99, etc.) goes live. Folks will come back to play in droves if/when a new blue server opens.
