Azxten we talk about these problems a lot.

The biggest issue is that we are going into these new progression servers with 20 years of experience and 10 whole years of Blue 99 experience meaning we are grizzled psychopaths at decimating this content.

I agree completely that the fact that so many people are maximum level on Project 1999 is very abnormal and is very unhealthy for the server, but I don't know how its possible to stop it.

1. Everyone can look up the best places to level
2. There are a lot of people that know all kinds of elite mechanics for maximum powerlevel speeds
3. A lot of people on Project 1999 came here to WIN not just to quest. They don't want to flounder around like they did when they were 13 years old.
4. The population is all in there 30's or so which also means they are at peak age to DESTROY a game like this. There are no 11 year olds (barely) and no 60 year olds (barely) and there were a lot of these on Live. The imbalance comes from the way hormones work on adolescents. People that played in middle school can't really shake this game or at least its very difficult to find a game that is as fun / enticing / addicting however you want to describe it for this population.

Only psychos even knew how to get into VP or that it existed. Only psychos got to 60 before velious. ANYONE in planar gear on live was really hardcore, let alone anyone with an item we consider BIS today. That stuff was entirely legendary and by the time people figured out the content, a new expansion opened up and people were going to the next thing.

That experience can't be replicated here.

I think the next progression server will simply have a progressive maximum level cap and we all level up together without a crazy rush to the top. Eventually it will be top level heavy but at least we can all journey together for a while.

Thats just my guess since it saves a lot of the toxic we have here now.
