The problem isn't a game design problem. EQ here is working (amazingly) mostly as it should due to the work of a very dedicated team. Of course, if you just don't like EQ when it is working properly you aren't ever going to love EQ here either.
The issues on p99 are mostly community issues (i.e. the players). Most of the population is great. There are some issues that have risen out of folks having time to roll so many alts due to the slower time line. The raid community is pretty bleh.
It isn't a new thing. It happened back on some of the original servers also. There were some servers that were much much worse than others. I wouldn't say that p99's raid scene is as bad as the worst EQ server back in the day, but it is definitely up there.
Be prepared for all the lovely things that come along with old EQ raiding...of course, you don't have to raid. Old EQ also had plenty of non-raiding folks, and we have that here too.
