I'm convinced "that lull" is the fact that everybody forgot what it's like to get to level 60 without Chardok AOE or an abundance of cheap powerful gear for melee classes (or never got to level 60 without a powerlevel at all)

Also, so many people rolled a pet class on Green because its a cheez fest to 60 while there were no rogues or warriors pretty much at all for a very long time. Pet classes are still OP but it most certainly isn't a cheez fest to 60 in Kunark.

Playing Kunark zones and getting new gear and levels is actually a ton of fun. It, however, takes a long time and a lot of grinding. The game was designed to be a grind. If you want to get gear upgrades you need to spawn nameds and not die until they drop something good.

This is really disappointing to the current WoW base that plays P99. Many of the real "EQ nerds" that played P99 in years past are not here. Its a totally different player base and attitude now.

There are a lot of things people like about MMOs. They like forums. They like posting on UN discord. They like being "important." They like being in a guild. They like voice chatting in Discord. They like being in a big guild and being "the best" and getting "the best" drops.

You can find this fulfillment in P99 without -actually- liking classic EQ. There are many veteran players from Blue who simply "don't have it in them" to do the grind again for xyz reason. Many serious EQ nerds have moved on from P99. There's a whole new flock of people who want to turn a PvE MMO into an esport which is ludicrous, comical, and sad.

The core issue with the "lack of nostalgic feels" or any type of "lull" one may feel is - - - - - - most people on P99 don't actually like classic EQ.
uhmmm nope leveled a paladin solo to 60 using with the most expensive shit a baton of faigth wich costed me 300 pps . meanwhile i totaly failed to lvl up a wizard to 60 wich i had twinked up to around 600k pr more. i believe left it at 55 and said fuck it, for me hybrid solo or even warrior solo was easier.
Not everyone is a min maxer mongo siphilis ridden arsehole .
< hugue old as fuck tard wich moved from p99 and just lurks to bash bda and say bullshit .

Heard the one about the death of the egotistical lion?

Nobody rioted. Few roared.

It sounds like you need to step back and maybe make a level 1 character, why not Iksar, and join a small guild and just have fun. Forget the high end raiding scene.

Praise Amun!

Sad but true.

Though imagine if all raid zones had a penalty of losing 5 levels upon death. Sleeper could still cause perma delete though.

It's so fucking funny how even 20 years later people take this as "a joke" or "it couldn't possibly be that way."

Newsflash, fuckwits. 50-60 is not "Easy"
