I look at it this way, sure there are differences, one may be more polished than the other.
There are a bunch of people who want to play on a new server, from the start. Being a player who started on P99 years after it was already up and going and R99 at launch (not being a big pvp fan though).
I wanted something that was new, where everyone was new and there were no twinks. The genuine experience. Does Sleeper have it.. for now, yes, are there bugs, yes.
If P99 were to release another server call it Green for namesake. I think that the population would drift back over because we know what kind of hard work has been put in on this side.
but like others have said, people socking waiting for spawns, constant bickering, gm favoring has been pretty lame, even from someone who has only played a handful of hours on either server.
Just my 2cp.

I always thought P99 should release a casual type server (green works perfect), that allows non-competitive access to raid content. There is no doubt a large base of players that would just like to experience EQ content without all the drama and BS (although player competition is a different experience and blue should not go away, it's level of competition is definitely not classic)
Even if they just make a P99 replica (late kunark for ease of keeping the server updated) and added a system like guild tokens from Sleeper, it would likely be successful and bring back some casual players that have left. It would allow those that still play and future players the access to the content/play-style of their choice/ability.
Set it in the future, with some kind of Time Chrono dude ("Very well mortals, I will bring you to the era of Lord Nagafen, ready yourselves!) that depops and spawns the raid target when something is handed in.
I'm sure it's been brought up before though.
