If there was an emu out there that went to PoP and that was as well executed and run as p99, I'd play there. This isn't a knock to p99 at all. For what it is it's great and the coding, support, and infrastructure from a volunteer crew is phenomenal.
Biggest problem with p99 is an over-leveled population base without a broad enough content spread to free up low end raid content. People a who hit the level 60 mark have a choice between engaging in the poop sock or shelving their mains. Velious sort of helped, but you still have guilds locking down epic mobs and kunark Dragons that have been farming this content for 3-5 years.
Luclin had a lot of crap I didn't like, but the raid loot required enough of a time sink and was sufficiently good enough to free up most of Velious and pretty much all of kunark.
