Newcomer to P1999, with some questions~~

[vznos]

Hello. I’m an old EQ player, started on Vallon in 1999 and quit shortly after SOL left me feeling SOL. I recently discovered Project 1999 and am considering trying it out, but have a few questions:

1) I see that the overall pop is about 450 usually... but how is population in different types of zones? E.g. newbie zones, mid-levels (Sol, the OT, etc.), and endgame (Planes, Seb, VP, etc.)...

2) Will you release any expansions after Velious (this page seems to imply you will: https://www.project1999.org/index.php?pageid=about, this one says you won't: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...d.php?t=1002)? Any estimate on when you’ll release Velious?

3) Any modifications to exp gain rates, overall item drop rates, etc.?

4) I read somewhere that people even will sell a level 50 character for 50kp (https://www.project1999.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=40588). Is that common? Would you guys say the server feels pretty “mature” now as far as all this goes? Or is there still that "new" feeling? I feel like, up to the day before SOL came out, EQ still felt like it had a great spread of players with different levels, goals, etc., but seeing a level 50 character being sold for 50kp makes me wonder.

5) On that same note… do most people have max-level characters, some planes gear, etc. already? That post linked above is kind of worrying me. Sigh… wish I’d heard of this project when it was brand new, and I’d have jumped in for sure, to be among the first doing X or Y. Now it seems things may be too far along for me to feel like it :/


Thanks a lot for any insights/advice!
