1 - How "talented" are the players here? Question sounds ridiculous, I know. Some of my favorite memories of EQ are times when groups/raids took down content with far fewer people than it was originally designed for. Is this type of thing common on P99?
First, welcome.

In regards to the quoted point above, I actually think later MMO's have made many players much better than they were the first time around. I, personally have seen and done things that were simlpy not considered feasible in 1999-2000.
Stuff like duo'ing and trio'ing camps that were considered full-party endeavors 10 years ago. (I recently soloed most of the unrest basement at 35 as a necro, including Rucksif. I remember being 'scared' as a 4-man party on live.)
To the more epic scale: breaking into Fear with less than 10 people.
Coupled with the fact that the vast majority of players are returning EQ-classic players, I think the average player on P99 is of a higher caliber than they were back then.
