Well...

There will be mid-game.
There will be end-game.
There will be twinks.
There will be PLs.
There will be economy.

Speaking of Re99, is there any chance that when that server launches the experience progression (/penalty) could be removed for all class/race combos? I understand it's not legitimately "classic," but after thinking it through I can't imagine how it would affect the feel/gameplay negatively to allow everyone to level up at the same rate (and would actually help friends who want to level together and no longer have to worry about whether or not they will get left behind).

A cleric epic being a rare sight, people actually donating for a click? lol

People don't? I try to give at least 200 if the cleric is there already. 300 - 500 if they have to run and 1k for really obnoxious CRs

Depends where you are. If you're digging a group out of the shit in the Sebilis then you'll find 1 person probably tells the group "its cool, I donated"... fair enough.

Happen to be sitting at the KC zone line when corpses get dragged in front of you? People ain't paying a dime [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let's be honest, there are going to be full 6 man enchanter groups at the pond, gy & ce.

I'm hoping re99 is actually the first teams server. And at the end you can choose to park your character on red OR blue.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you are grouped the class penalties are spread and you should level at same rate. Also class/race penalties rule they shouldn't be removed.

Nobody comes to play on classic for XP penalties. There's no real reason to keep them.

You are not wrong and class penalties will be very present on Green99 until the appropriate point in the timeline post Velious whereupon they will be removed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is why I was curious. I can't see any real benefit to them and I don't think removing them really detracts (at all) from the classic experience. Plus, once the Re99 server gets to Velious, you don't have to worry about the gimmicks Sony played to prevent sudden level jumps and imbalanced death penalty hits.
