They will roll alts and get them to 60 and then roll more alts. All of this creates more competition for scarce high level raid content.

Yes there are bad things about Shadows of Luclin and the Planes of Power but the devs don't have to implement *all* of them. They can take the good things and omit the bad.

Omit the following:

-horrible Luclin character graphics
-the Bazaar
-PoK books

Problem solved!

Question: Why does it have to be all or nothing?

Answer: it doesn't.

P.S. It would be really helpful if the management of P1999 would engage in some dialogue with the community about the future of this server.

It's a free server, so really once you're 'done' with everything you'd like to accomplish on p99, or you get bored enough... you leave (or roll an alt or 10). What happens to the server after that point in your experience shouldn't really matter, as new people will find p99 and get started with all the feels and nostalgia from this era of EQ.

If the lack of progression really did cause the community to die off... it would have happened well before the 5 years of kunark were broken by velious. If the staff were to comment on this dialog, that would put them in a situation where they may be perceived as having promised something that they may not be willing to commit to.
