The wild west feel of EverQuest (which is part of what made it amazing) is completely gone or absent on P99. The fact that one guild can just hold a camp indefinitely is also extremely anti-classic. When I was a kid I remember Guk as being an actual leveling zone, handfuls of players grouped up all over the place, many wandering around in search of a group. I cannot imagine anyone just allowing a literal AFK player to hold onto Frenzied Ghoul camp for hours before handing it off to some other kid who just woke up. I know for a fact that another group would have just showed up and took that shit. And this also gave players more incentive to group. On P99, Wizards feel kind of like a pointless class for a lot of content. In situations where you're camping a rare item and you're terrified of being KS'd, a Wizard is the best class you can possibly have in your group. I actually remember being a 16 year old kid and camping Gator Scale leggings for 18 hours straight, and a Dark Elf wizard just showed up and sat there. Didn't say anything. I almost had a nervous breakdown because I knew if he wanted to KS me there was nothing I could do about it. Wizards on P99 just feel like shitty mages because the few scenarios where they shine are no longer relevant.

The English language has this concept called “the paragraph”. I’d recommend you google it, but incase you prefer a shortcut: https://lmgtfy.app/?q=the+paragraph

I like how we all defaulted to stinky neckbeards destroying classic.

There's no pronoun agreement for "it." In this sentence, "it" could refer to anything. Am I googling the sun? A reindeer? The price of tea in China? We don't know because you failed to form a pronoun agreement and incorrectly used "it" out of place.

If you're going to pretend to be smart, at least know what the fuck you're talking about. Right now you're just a fake nerd.... which is a weird thing to emulate.

P99 is significantly less classic than TAKP. For fuck's sake, it's using a client from 2006 and functions around a bunch of custom rules because the player base is mentally handicapped.

Just cause you're mentally handicapped doesn't mean you have to roll for everything. You can do anything real people can do.

What are you talking about, TSLA is literally at an all-time low for 2021, and it's looking bleak thanks to Biden threatening a 40% capital gains tax to pay for yet another stimulus bill.
