This arguement doesn't hold much weight lol, There was IB, then there was DA, then there was Europa, then there was fusion, then there was Europa/IB again, then TMO, shit changes, people willing to organize and play 14 hours a day are always going to be on top.
I think the problem with p99 current state vs a fresh server, is that on a newer server a cloak of flames is a BIG deal, a set of banded is a BIG deal, a set of full bronze, or having silver jewelery like mentioned above is a BIG deal.
Being one of a handful of level 50 warriors, or bards, or paladins, or enchanters, is a BIG deal.
I tried playing on p99 again recently, and it just wasn't interesting. There was no motivation to try to level up, and be a "BIG DEAL" (that's where the motivating drive behind EQ really lays no?) Even if you got up to level 60 as a warrior, you aren't really needed because there are people with 6 level 60's, and a plethora of every class they can just hop on to at any point it's needed lol. That's kind of fooked.
I think the problem, to me at least, is that nothing in p99 is a big deal anymore. It's expected people have multiple level 60's, and hundreds of thousands of plat, and multiple CoF's or heiro cloaks in the bank. Nothing really matters, and there is no incentive to be "sweeeeet" on this server, because even when you amass hundreds of thousands of plat, and level up multiple level 60's, your just one amongst many, and it doesn't even really matter.
Server's need big deals, they need the Zilo's, the furor's, its just not interesting when EVERYONE has a SHIT TON of end game loot and plat, on MULTIPLE characters. What's the point of being a millionaire if everyone is, or having a ferrari if it's mass produced and more common than a civic.
Being a winner is fun, but only when there's losers, on p99 everyone is a winner, everyone has ribbons, so no one cares, at least I don't..... It'd be fun to care again :P
