This server's core philosophy is to recreate and preserve the EQ classic experience. Nevertheless, I'm clearly not the only one that would love to see this server eventually evolve into a full on progression server (stopping around PoP). It could ideally occur along side a Classic only server for all those that just want to stick with that content.
The fact that it takes so long for the expansions to get released on p99, is in some ways an asset. It allows everyone enough time to fully experience the content of each expansion and era. Afters a good 2 years of Velious content. I'm sure plenty of casual players would love to play Luclin, as would the dedicated raiders.
The reason people like me don't just "go play live," is because EQ is basically easier than classic WoW in its current state. Yes there is no other place to go for EQ classic. But there isn't exactly a viable server for PoP either.
Luclin and PoP respectively, offer near endless progression for even hardcore gamers. You won't see the dedicated crowed with 4+ maxed our characters...because it simply takes too long to get all the gear and AAs. With the necessary delay that takes place between expansions, more casual players will be much more prepared to tackle the expansion content than they were on live.
PoP did kill the 1-60 experience imo (and it was pretty hard to be a crap geared no AA'd 65 as well). But there are a lot of things that were also great about it. Such as:
More difficult raid content
Better class definition/balance
Better itemization
Better raid targets/rewards for more casual guilds
Platinum only gets you so far
