Well its been 10 years of velious, if you do not adapt and change with the times, the times pass you by. Yes, p99 gets about 1k players on avg between the two servers. But the new people coming in, which isnt many trying to level is near impossible unless you make a solo class. Healers and CC are non exsistant at lower levels which makes content hard. Just because you guys are 60 with all your raiding gear does not make you right. Its not just about you , i look at it as a new player. Even in a Live eq with the TLPs, it gets stale. So much good content not experinced by the good people of Norrath. Bazaar is trash. I agree, hate it, it ruined the market but there are so many good zones and much more content that is good inside Luclin and PoP.

Your mistake is assuming that the intent of the server is to "survive" or "adapt and change with the times". That's not the intent of this server at all. The intent is quite literally to just portray the classic era through Velious. For instance, Nilbog has never cared if 10 player play P99 or 1,000...he cares about making a museum as close to classic as he can.

Also, the issue with population currently isn't because more expansions are needed. The issue is that we have two top heavy servers at the end of the classic era timeline and they haven't been merged. Merge them and the issues you're talking about are drastically reduced.

Luckily, for people who need Luclin, there are options. Personally I'm going to wait a while to a) see if Quarm still exists after a year and b) wait until better twink gear is in-era so I don't have to do a classic 1-50 leveling experience.
quarm is alive and somewhat well. the server admin refuses to release kunark early so for the past 3 months like 70% of people are just raid logging.

I actually liked the free legacy loot. But somehow that wasn't enough for some people and then things got a bit too goofy even for me.

instancing and legacy loot changes months in are great custom content ideas, even better when they are a spooky surprise so we could login at Halloween to really get that permanent raid logged ghost town atmosphere.

How long were those /list camps for manastones on green?

Not everyone wants to take time off work so they can get elf pixels by waiting in line for hours.
