In what way?

There's just too much competition for every mob on the server. Simply put, that wasn't the case in classic EQ. I think that causes issues when the game really wasn't designed for 500 level 60's tackling mobs. Even with bigger populations in EQ's prime, the game simply was more difficult due to the unknown factor. The economy made sense, although that's not a huge gripe with me on P99. There weren't people leveling to 50+ with relative ease using a Fungi tunic, or at least it wasn't as prevalent as it is on P99.
Velious helped a lot. However, I think it's evident that there's just too many top level people with top end gear able to take down Velious mobs with ease. When Velious was released in classic, you didn't just roll up with Vindi and throw numbers at him. The gear just wasn't there. Not many people had PoSky on farm except for the best of the best. But on P99, farming Sky was done by a multitude of guilds and not just the extreme poopsock neckbearders, either.
Is P99 a bad server? Nope! I enjoy my time on this server as I feel I've found a guild that kicks ass and fits what I want to put into it. Am I pretty bummed that Velious is "it"? Yea, and it's definitely something I need to think about. Do I really want to play Velious for 4 years? I think a lot of us felt EQ was at its best at Planes of Power. This was where there was just an absolute abundance of content, raid mobs, etc, that not everything under the sun was downed within minutes. Guilds could grow in strength and build towards bigger mobs. Currently, there's really nothing to "build" towards. Everyone has gear capable to take down NToV, the issue is numbers and experience, not gear.
Shrug, whether you disagree or not, that's just my feeling on it. P99 is great but I definitely don't see myself playing Velious for years.
