Hi all. New player to the server here, and I figure I'll share my opinions and experiences so far.
Its interesting because I WAS going to be a TLP player, but long story short, I got over the client and sketchy hurdles and figured I would try out P99 while waiting and never looked back... I'm only level 27, but it only took one play session to realize exactly what the OP claims. This server is doing it better. I didn't even bother registering to play Ragefire at all.
What I like about P99 so far is, while their may be some cheating going on, this server is moderated and curated in such a way that its superior to pretty much any other paid for service out there! I love the no botting, no RMT'ing rules. I love the fact that these rules are also being aggressively enforced.
I also like how entrenched the community is, and their seems to be the sense that people put fair play first most of the time. I like knowing theirs some governing rules at the top end for raids, even if they don't always work its better than pure chaos.
What I don't like so far, is obvious... The server is crowded! At peek times, everything is camped. If its worth money, or xp, consider it locked up.
I'm only level 27 right now though, and I'm okay with the idea that on this server, how you "get jboots" and things like that, is you find a way to put together the kind of plat to buy it. I'll have to get creative.
I also am a little bummed that unlike the TLP, theirs no way to get out in front of the economy. Its nice farming up on a fresh server. On this server, I'm playing from WAYYYY behind.
I'm happy about stopping in velious. I didn't dig on Luclin that much, and PoP for the most part ruined the game for me, but did have some cool to it. The idea that we might see custom content someday is mildly attractive to me (probably ripped out of those two expansions), but the velious cap for now is perfect.
Thanks all.
