You think you would? I promise the manastone camp would be locked down like it was on this server by IB. Penoy had 8 at one point I remember.
The Ass/Supp wasn't locked down because I guess people didn't remember how cool it is to have a guise - but it would definitely be locked down on a new server. And it would be locked down by the same people that are in TMO - that is, the people that have 24 hrs/day to spend on a game at a camp.

Yes, but at least this time around they (and by "they" I don't mean those people specificly just the people who started p99 early in general) won't have access to all the non-classic bugs and features that were still in place the first year-ish the server was live.
I've been here for over 3 years and, yes, missed some of the content I would have liked to be around for like rubicite and manastones, etc....But people who started early didn't just have the advantage of starting early, they got to use maps, target circles, translocators, a compass, etc etc. Just some examples, there was a bug that pretty much let charming classes perma-charm anything or the Ivandyr's hoop deal or that the bazillion monks got to buy Wu's armor or the fact that you can currently get cultural armor that rivals planar armor for cheap because it doesn't require high end gems, etc etc etc....and THAT is how lot's of people locked down mobs, amassed fortunes in plat, althewhile RMTing and boxing (they weren't as good at detecting that then), etc giving them an advantage that newer players will never have....By using NON CLASSIC bugs and mechanics and, by the rules of this server, outright CHEATS not just by starting earlier than others.
Not to mention, kunark has been out for about twice as long as kunark was live before velious and the server is so inflated it's ridiculous, and we still have no word on when velious will be here. There is nothing remotely classic about getting in oasis groups with epiced alts.
Mostly, I just like starting fresh, especially on fresh servers.
So, yes, if they were up for it I would donate generously for a new server.
