I can understand not wanting to go from worst gear to best gear to worst gear in a few days time and having to learn 50 new levels of spells and totally different grouping/soloing strategies you haven't seen yet.
P99 has been around for almost 5 years so the number of people just starting for the first time in the last couple months is probably a few % of the overall population so yeah it's kind of bummer timing.
You should look at it as an opportunity though. Many people will never be able to get their epic on blue or red. You have the chance to start out with some uber gear (some of the starting gear choices were kind of bizarre) including your epic. One of my mains is a 56 Mage and the Earth staff to get the epic is held hostage for 1/2 million plat the few times it's offered for sale which isn't going to happen. This is my chance to play with an epic pet!
