Original Plane of Mischief was like an elite country club that only a very privileged few had access to. And I mean few in a literal sense: On most servers you could probably count the number of people who played in that zone on your hands. I bet that was a fun experience for those folks who were a part of it, and it's not surprising to see so many rose-tinted nostalgia posts about classic PoM littered across various EQ forums.

But this is probably WHY it was revamped. Sony is not going to devote resources to sustaining a zone that such an incredibly small fraction of the player base would ever see. (Similarly, this is why I chuckle now at some of Tigole's self-absorbed and self-righteous rants over that time period. Of course Verant and Sony needed to be concerned about end game players, but with 98% of the classic EQ population comprised of level 19 wood elf rangers and other assorted Klaknak champions, they had plenty to worry beyond the neckbeardiest of the neckbeards).

But even with PoM in its classic state, as Daldaen discussed, PoM on this server is going to be a nightmare.
