P99 is the largest private everquest server, It's not going anywhere.

What has not changed is bitter jaded veterans are leaving. It seems to be a cycle here.

New players come in all the time.

This makes me think of when I first tried p99 in 2010. spell sets and over powered out of era mechanics. Alchemy exploit to dupe plat, lol. It has come a long way since then.

who knew people who have played the same computer game for over 20 years would eventually get burned out. I cannot fathom how this is possible.

If forum account creation rate is any indication (I would say it's a strong one), then the answer is: no, P99 is not dying.

I wrote a little something to extract account creation dates from the user profiles on the P99 forums. I took care to spread the querying over many days as to not to add any noticeable load to the server.



Data starts on October 13, 2009 and ends on July 12, 2021 (July 13 had incomplete data so I discarded it). The data represents daily number of forum account creations.

Total profiles queried: 231878
Successfully extracted join date from: 159478
I suppose the difference comes from deleted (spammer) accounts and whatnot. Also maybe people who made their profile/join date private or something.





Here are the results:
