It was up for more than 7 years prior to going down in January 2014. The reason for it was the revamp to make the server even "more classic," and implement a fully working Shrouded Isles expansion, whereas before only some of the SI classes were present. We all thought it wouldn't take more than half a year, that's pretty much the reason I made that other thread and tried to put together a "P99er Guild." It's a shame it took them so long to reach this point, but on the other hand - they completely wiped the player database, so everyone will be starting from level 1 and there won't be any high Realm Rank players around to kill the fun for the newcomers. This re-launch is something very unique because of the "fresh start" for everyone, although it'll happen twice in one year if it goes live soon after the BETA, cause the characters made will NOT carry over.
