Kudos to the OP for having the courage to post this. The fact that vanilla dragons are permacamped and the management here approves of this and does nothing about it is the reason that I and many others have stop playing P1999. It's symptomatic of a larger problem which is and absentee model of administration.
I'm tired of the intellectually lazy argument that P1999 is "classic EQ". P1999 is not classic EQ by any stretch of the imagination. For one, Classic EQ at least had responsive admins that evaluated the health of the game and made changes. That's what responsible admins do in a virtual world. Virtual worlds are living breathing things; they are a work in progress and they require care and attention.
You don't plant a seed in a garden and expect it to grow without water, fertilizer, mulching, constant weeding and vigilance to protect the plant from insects and animals. The P1999 philosophy is to plant a seed and hope for the best. That doesn't work in the realm of gardening and it certainly doesn't work here.
Some people like this kind of administration. I don't and that's why I left. I hope someday a solution is created that allows everyone the chance to at least attempt a dragon.

P99 staff is awesome when it's around, but lack of resources and setting up insanely complex rules about everything which are impossible to enforce properly has made this place playground for toxic neckbeards who almost always get rewarded for doing shady things. I don't mind healthy competition, I find it fun actually, but you don't often find healthy competition at P99 raid scene.
That is why I chose Agnarr. It might not be the "most classic" EverQuest experience around, but it sure is currently most fun place to experience classic raid content on casual fixed schedule. And competition for open world targets is far more fair than P99 for those who want to follow the server rules.
Looking at the server status makes me wonder when Swish starts posting cat gifs and "try p99" posts on Agnarr forums.

Wonder how low that number needs to go until server staff wakes up? I sure wish they would wake up soon, since it looks like majority is voting with their feet atm.
