What's the point of playing on a permanently 'classic' server and how is P99 classic?

[*]Classes are permanently unbalanced.

This is definitely more of a positive than a negative. Classes play very differently (which adds shelf life to the game) and each has its own strengths depending on the situation. What warriors lack in group settings they more than make up for on raids, and vice versa for knights. Yes, some classes are more powerful than others but that also makes them more popular which means their items are generally harder to obtain. Supply and demand is one way classes balance themselves out naturally.

[*] All the best spots are perma camped because it's such a small crowded place.

ZEM changes have moved the crowds around. For example, the Hole used to be completely empty because it doesn't offer the best loot, but the xp now compensates for that. Also, camping items is much better now than it used to be when there was only one PVE server and only one expansion.

[*]It's an unnofficial emulated server; it's not the real thing.

It's been officially recognized by Daybreak, formerly SOE, operating legally for years now. Brad McQuaid was very much aware of this project, even visiting a livestream years back.
