You really aren’t though.
As the most recent changes have shown the real reason people play here is because it’s free and it’s a high population server with minimal boxing. People really aren’t clinging to the Velious era that much.

Which means you guys should really be over on TAKP forums trying to convince them to open a no-box server instead of pushing for that stuff here. That seems like a much more sensible approach to me.

Yes yes and yes! I think what people fail to realize is how hard it is to start a server. Like even if you could magically hire Rogean and Nilbog to do all the technical work for you (good luck with that), there's still a HUGE amount of work needed to build community, support the server etc.
This place is NOT as successful as it is because everyone who plays here shares R&N's obsession with classic EQ! To the contrary, I truly think the vast majority would like to see Luclin and PoP. Hell, most people left around LDoN (as that's when WoW came out), so R&N are kinda "freaks" (in a sense, among the set of all people who played EQ back in the day) for leaving after Velious.
But the critical thing that they've done, that neither TakP nor any other server has managed to do, is build a real community (which all but requires no boxing). That's all it would take to steal half or more of the players here away: a decent community, and any expansion P99 doesn't have ... but if it were easy to do someone (TakP or whoever else) would have done it long ago.
