I call bullshit on this subjective and biased assertion, bruh. It wasn't that way all of the time, and I rarely experienced what you described during classic on live (started pre-Kunark). It may have been that way sometimes with guildies and friends, but your feel-good sense of nostalgia blinds you to the possibility that your sole remembered experience might not represent reality. The problem is there is a heavy dose of victim mentality around here laced with a cut of bitter-bitch syndrome.
He was part of a cash camp PUG and everyone was there for the same reason. It really makes absolutely no difference if he would have left and another player came in and won. None. The others still lost. We all roll the same virtual dice with the same odds. Just because the dude hit a lucky streak the losers try to demonize him? Okay... Thinking that the other people playing an online video game - having different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences - should be bound to your sense of moral action and ideology is purely naive and arrogant.
This whole situation is why Nilbog has made clear that this server is meant to replicate Everquest's classic mechanics. Classic experiences are wildly subjective. And if you think the server being restarted is going to change any of this, you'll be very disappointed. It will probably only exacerbate the situation when you have 1000+ (perhaps vastly more) people vying for classic camps/items.

P99 is MORE than just mechanics, whether Nilbog says it or not. Here is the bit right off the homepage, man:
"Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Velious expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience."
A real classic experience is more just than just "mechanics." Everquest's main experience relies in it's community. To get the classic experience requires a mix of mechanics and community.
I need to make a thread and take a poll at how many people would pass on a second fungi tunic like that. I would pass in a heart beat if I had just won one. If the majority votes they would keep it, then P99 is no longer a TRUE classic server.
