Exactly! Those who don't want to restart can stay on P99 Blue and enjoy that they got rid of the "neckbeards".
Some people here claim that only a minority is interested in restarting. Why are you afraid, then? If you were right, P99 would remain healthy and the new server would fail quickly.

True EQ 99 had multiple servers, even when the game first launched and had low populations (I remember logging in during the first month on a weekday around lunch EST and seeing only 65 people online, on the Veeshan server). I figured for sure P99 would have at least 2 PVE servers by now.
The new server could follow the timeline from Vanilla to Velious more accurately than the server we have now, which is IMO way off from "classic" and will only get worse with time.
Don't get me wrong - the staff and devs have done a great job at making P99 an awesome experience but I think it's time to move on. They botched the server with the huge delay of Velious...it almost feels like they are more interested in keeping what they have (playing it safe) than doing things right and releasing a second server. This server will be more true to classic than the one we got now. No 3+ years of fungi tunic farming before Velious, etc.
I know a lot of players will be upset at a complete server wipe; there is always the option at having 2 servers going at once...if P99 doesn't do this it will be only a matter of time before someone else capitalizes on this opportunity...classic emus are popping up left and right, one is even in the works for Everquest Online Adventures. How do you think P99 came about?
