For better or worse, the very slow pace of P1999 is conducive to building armies of characters. If you've been here for 3-4 years, it's pretty straightforward to have 2-3 or more L60 toons, which then need gear, etc etc. The cool part about this is playing multiple classes and experiencing things in a different way (enchanter and monk are almost playing different games). The bad part is the rise of tunnelquest and everything being for sale etc.
Ultimately I think most of the people are wishing for this mystical version of classic everquest where they can 'do over' live only better. It's not going to happen. Zanderr is right that a new server will just have a new crew of neckbeards. The game will rapidly become overcrowded again, and the poopsocking will resume.
