FTFY. Sony couldn't release content fast enough, and now, 13 years later when a lot of it is posted on internet, people go through it even faster. If you don't like the economy, ignore it and farm your items like you'd be forced to do on a new server. Live servers routinely held 3000+ people concurrently, P99 does not need a new server for its 500 concurrent users.

If you are sad you missed out on manastones, lockets of escape, Guises, and the like, then there are other servers that will allow you to obtain that (IE: the sleeper). P99 is the largest EMU server because of its classicness, don't complain about it being classic with one side of your mouth while praising how classic it is with the other side. Enjoy your chance to see it again.

Why would they go to a server where they'll be illegally accessing it and which has a rotation system when they can simply reroll with the rest of us and just level to 50/60 faster? If they have to restart anyways, why start anywhere else? Wiping the server will only discourage casuals, the hardcores will be hardcore no matter what.

I am one that also missed out on Pre-Kunark P99. I would like to go through it again from the beginning. If they made a new server and started it all over I would probably partake. I am having a lot of fun in the current server though. I am not ready for such a thing at this point. I am trying to get leveled up and caught up with the rest before I get too worried about something I just got done going through.

Falk, you know as well as I that twinking was uncommon and powerleveling was rare back in the day. During my short stint on on P99 I saw more characters being powerleveled than I had seen during my entire time on EQ live.

I do agree that wiping the server is a bad idea; I want those pixel hogs to stay on that server; so the rest of us can play on the new server.

I missed the pre-Kunark train on Live as well as here on P99. It would be cool to have the pre-Kunark experience, but as it stands now is much like it was when I started back in 2000 (i think). Gives me the experience of almost what it was like back the first time around. haha

This server is just a twink fest.

If the dev's started a paypal fund to start a new sever and said once we reach X amount of donation money we'll open a new server, I'd donate to that.

Right now, you just feel like the money from donations will only help the HARDCORE end-game crazies get more content to lockdown that normal folks may never see.
Most people haven't experienced Kunark yet.

The forums are the most exciting part of P1999 right now.
