Both. This is the odd state of P99. Players are OP and the staff, instead of fixing the major issues that are well documented and explain why players are OP, they make odd tweaks to the NPCs to make them more powerful.

This is how P99 settled on the bizarre bastardized non classic mechanics it has now. Players interrupting casters too easy? Don't fix the bugs that make players OP and would then make this balanced, instead make it so NPCs can't be interrupted so easy.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Daybreak broke P99. Whatever it is in the "agreement" I'm sure they're also not allowed to talk about it. P99 is probably kept alive by Daybreak to avoid someone else who is outside their legal jurisdiction from creating a better emulator.
I agree with larger swaths of what you've written, but I think claiming "Daybreak broke P99" is a bit hyperbolic.

By all accounts, P99 is at least 90% like classic EQ. Even if the Daybreak agreement somehow said "P99 can't get more classic" (which I rather doubt) ... being stuck at 90% certainly doesn't equate to "broken".
