If you want to play on a server with a /levelmeto 60 command and you enjoy "beating" it in a couple months, then great.

in THREE MONTHS they both level up and kill almost every raid mob in the game! (And then originally I mistakenly thought "every raid mob" included all the Luclin ones too, but I've since been corrected.)

Now do you see where my perception came from?
No, I don't.

It's not hard to level to 55 in 3 months, on project 1999 or anywhere. TAKP has a 20% exp bonus and a generous group exp bonus, (both were EQMac features) which speeds up the process. (and yes, boxing. I wish we had gone 2 box, but it was out of my control)

On p99 you're not getting into a top tier guild at level 55 perhaps, which monopolize content; but p99 has cut-throat competition unlike what live servers had back in the day. TAKP is lowish pop with rotations, so guilds are much more likely to recruit people not at the level cap yet. So some guy achieves level 55, joins a raid guild, and sees raid content. I'm pretty sure in the year 2001, raid guilds were adding people who weren't level 60 yet. Incidentally my old server, Druzzil Ro, HAD ROTATIONS during Velious so guilds were rotating all raid content. I can even link you the old schedules if you'd like to see them.

Combat statistics, mechanics and spawn timers are very carefully researched and implemented-- we're not some ez-mode server in that regard, either.

If you really want to savor the early to mid level game, then P99 is probably a better choice due to the era we're emulating. I don't deny this. Saying somebody 'beat the game' in 3 months on TAKP is just trolling though.
