P99's community is fine, IMO. Pretty similar to what EQ live was like.
I agree with the OP that GMs are far too involved on this server. For 99% of the issues that GMs currently intervene on, they should tell the petitioners to go have a Coke and a smile. GMs should only be intervening in the case of exploits or repeat, extensive harassment.
You've been camping this mob for 36 hours but Guild_B engaged first? Sucks to be you, work on mobilization. Your group-mate ninja looted the Thick Banded Belt and /q'd? Sucks to be you, don't ever group with him again. You asked your friend to transfer 40k for you and he disappeared? Sucks to be you, be careful who you trust. You got trained by Rinna 6 times in 20 minutes? Sh*t *****, stop whining and start moving. Basically, EverQuest was made out of a whole lot of "Sucks to be you" scenarios. You'll notice that this has a striking resemblance to real life. This is not a coincidence. What made the game great was that nobody held your hand and nobody wiped your tears.

This one is also quoted for truth. I wish things could really be like this, But exploits to get your mob, training, and fucking retarded shit would be so bad on this server (because 65% of everyone here is a artard, no offense) that zones like sol a and perma would be uninhabitable.
At the same time, i think the guilds would come to some sort of an agreement a month in or so, although we still couldn't agree on shit when the camping got bad, so idk. I have a feeling, Just from knowing this community, that having an open ended system with no gm intervention (at least for the raiding scene) would turn people away so fast it wouldnt even be funny.
