i agree with the sentiment that 'there are plenty of people who would dig this server but happen not to know about it'.
i have to say the only reason i 'found' p1999 was because i was searching for episodes of the office on 'project free tv' and mistyped my search into google chrome. ^_^
if it weren't for that i still wouldn't know about it. it would be quite unlikely that i would wake up one morning and say to myself: 'wow, let's go find out if there's a bunch of people that have devoted the huge time and resources to recreate authentically the experience of an mmo created 10 years ago'.
of course i'm very glad i did find the server, but i'm just not 'deep' enough into any current online gaming community that i would have come across it otherwise. i think that's kind of the point with this server too, that it's populated with people that have 'moved on' from eq classic to rl stuff or whatever but happen to like the idea of coming back and enjoying the old experience.
so yes, you may get some kiddies by advertising, but i think you'd also pull in a lot of the right kind of people to. and the best thing is... come the first difficult corpse run, the kiddies will quit! : )
