In what way does you playing benefit the developers on a free to play emu server?

What incentive could there possibly be to develop an empty box that nobody plays on
Don't you understand how attention/time investment = power
There are many indirect ways to make money on the internet. The marketing and exposure doesn't hurt either. That wouldn't exist if p1999 was nothing more than an empty box like Red. 1200+ people are playing here a night. Money is being made. Take your blinders off sir.
If you're not playing here. You're playing somewhere else. You only play here because it is marketed as "Classic 1999" Everquest. That's a lie though. It isn't.
You're clubbed like a baby seal with the "Classic bro. Deal with it" when you have to endure a retarded EXP penalty for far longer than any player actually had to deal with back in real classic. If this were really a Classic Server, special attention would be made to the length of time players had to endure the EXP penalty. It would have been removed long ago. Clearly it would be a beneficial change to average player's gaming experience here. Instead of beneficial development changes being made for all, the attention is shifted to game breaking changes like Variance to babysit high lvl egos.
Keeping the exp penalty in place should not be indicative of Velious launch. That ship left the dock a long time ago. Velious or not, it should remain in place only the length of time it existed in Classic EQ. Classic EQ emu right? Classic by the book right?
Throw the entire community a bone. Remove the class exp penalty or put bonus exp weekends in place until Velious is launched.
