It doesnt have the one of arguably p99s most important thing.
Make eq as much as it possibly can be the way it was in 1999
I mean what Rogen & Nilbog have been able to do is make a better game, by themselves for free in a fraction of the 12+ years it took sony to slowly, expansion after expansion reduce their user base.
Sure p99 isnt exactly classic EQ, but if time froze and all we could do is play on the classic servers for the rest of our lives, p99 is exactly what it would be. People love p99 because the game was just overall better than it is post velious. Sure there were some decent things that came out of 12+ years of development, but overall it and all the MMO's that followed Classic EQ never managed to capture the same ascetic, feel, and plain old challenge. Classic EQ really is the D&D of MMO's.
Looking at Live, even on progression they got it wrong. That's because they made it guessing what it was people wanted. Rogan said, fuck it I'm gona MAKE what I want. You cant just replicate that kind of passion.
P99 is as much an anomaly IMO as ClassicEQ was.
Give Rogan directors cut and 30 million dollars, and Ill play whatever it is he makes.
Honestly sony is so bad, I half expect you to be the president of SoE, literately begging us to tell you what it is they have to do to stop fucking up.
We cant help you mr. president! Live BLOWS.

This.
In a nutshell, this.
If Elidroth reads these forums long enough and hard enough he'll get it too. I'd pay 15 bucks a month or more for one account here if it were mandated. Hell sony could straight up buy this server and leave the present creators and GMs as paid staff to rule and fix as they see fit and I'd pay double the subscription cost that SoE live requires for gold. This isn't what I truly want - but if it doubled the player base on the server it'd be a good thing IMO.
15 bucks a month meant something when I was a poor college kid and broke high school kid. It's chump change at this point in my life. This server delivers what Live doesn't for me and I'd pay for it.
