Would someone kind of give me a rundown of the current p99 dynamic?

Sure! So Blue has been active forever and everyone there is totally jacked with extreme loot and extreme drama. Everyone has everything while plat and reputations are worth nothing. Everyone has stabbed everyone in the back; it's all been kill-stolen and ninja-looted. You can read it in the book, if it's up, but it's twisted history is better left untold.
Then Green opened and all those extremely jacked guys said let's go start some guilds there and dominate because why not and also boredom. At the same time all these people who haven't played classic EQ for like decades said oh man this is my chance to get some nice nostalgia going and re-live the best years of our lives.
At the top Green is run by a bunch of harsh taskmasters who have everything figured out to the millisecond and the exact pixel. They fear nothing and respect nothing and their currency is fear and lies and forlorn hope.
At the bottom are the innocent poopsockers, exploited relentlessly for their labor to bring glory to the few. Caught up in the nostalgia trap, they labor for others thinking that is the normal thing to be; subservient, obedient, quiet and grateful.
In the middle are people like me; the real heroes.
So that's the dynamic. Top is run by super-experienced raiders with no room for you fucking around or being not 100% committed. A large portion of the population doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and causing tons of drama by trying to play the game they think they remember playing instead of what's on the ground. Between that are old cynics who know everything but refuse to get caught up.
