P99 was a "magician run server" too... in case you forgot, go look through threads at the content getting chain-petted.
If they are anything like me, they know that p1999 is stagnant and has spent entirely too long in Kunark (4 years). I server wipe or option to start over on a clean server would be such a breath of fresh air - yes it would eventually return to how it is now but it would be a remarkable breath of fresh air.
p1999 is a fantastic free passtime, but it's a broken server and I don't see why if people are here for the "classic experience" they don't wipe and create that experience again. But I don't think many of the players enjoy the experience of playing the game as a challenge nearly as much as they are addicted to pixels and feeling uber.
I guess I don't understand the fear of wiping a server like this. The platinum dupes, the RMT'ing, the flood of camped items, poopsock lockdown, MQ-everything, PLing taking up space in every single zone... the server is flooded and poses no challenge.
100% more fun after wipe, but people are scared to lose their "investment" (time spent, not invested). Of course that's just how I feel. Give people the chance to play a new class in a new and varied and fun world.
But we have some terms with DBG now and I don't know if we will ever get to see another Classic experience occur. Hopefully those that agree with me will just need to be patient for it.
