Can we talk about the future of P99?

I've never understood this mentality on a classic EQ server. One of the whole reasons classic EQ is what we like is the lack of instances and the whole mentality of "I want to be able to do what I want when I want" not necessarily being catered to. Part of that includes competition during raiding, sometimes heightened competition.

If competition is a reason you wouldn't want a server to be more populated, then why play on a non-instanced server at all? Why not play on a server that has instanced raiding?

Just seems like going to like an Italian restaurant and wanting them to have Mexican food. Like why not go to the place that has what you want?

You assume we all play on P99 because of certain hassles instead of in spite of them. I don't care if there's a bit more competition, but right now Blue has a competitive but not overly toxic raid scene. There's enough competition to allow the neckbeards to flex, but there's still pixels to go around.

Honestly I'm starting to think most of the folks that are dying for a merge to happen are just the folks that rushed over to green when it launched so they could farm a bunch of pre-nerf items they hoped to sell once things merged back. The rest of it is just a somewhat plausible reason to say instead of "waaah, I wanna sell some of these mana stones". (Not saying that's you, specifically.)

Complaining that it's not hard enough to get FTE on raid mobs will never make sense to me.
