naaah there's no .. or few at least .. casuals here. The game is still considered hard-core, or at least core. There is just no appeal to casuals here, that's for the new and improved live servers, and I hear people play f2p there now, which is "casual".
Here, it's just core and some hard-core players, though not many of those me thinks. Core players are the type that just play normally, but stick with a game for a long time, years even. Might have other games to play too, but they're all different.
Casuals are like nomads, have a bunch of other look-alike games (especially WoW clones) and bounce around, some spending tons of cash in cash shops which drives devs/publishers to make more such games. They might play three different games in an evening, or even all at once. I blame mostly WoW for bringing in those players to the genre.
Oh yeah and my mistake on the age. You've never posted in the starting zone forum, which is where I thought you posted that info. Had to have been someone else I guess, which was like 6 to 9 months ago, so... hah kids I don't think even get summer vacation like they use to get.

I'm not saying there are casuals here, but dragging out a server provides that same form of accessibility.
The thing you have to remember about EQ is that it wasn't designed for everyone to accomplish everything. Thats something P99 really made possible. The exclusivity factor was a big part of what made EQ so addictive and largely what a new server with a proper timeline would offer. There is a balance somewhere in the middle but after a certain point, mudflation kicks in and the entire progression system and item rarity begins to break down rendering your accomplishments of little value.
That is the state of affairs for P99 in 2016.
