This.
Wouldn't be playing if they started doing all of this.

So you would actually quit and blow all your time invested because they opened up Surefall glade portal? Right, sure... and where were your complaints when they started making non classic changes (or maybe more importantly, did not implement classic things until years later [coughepicrestrictionscough])?

As for things that are not classic currently - well it is what it is. There is a big difference between keeping tab cycling in game because they can't remove it and revamping kerra isle to a raid zone.

Right, it is what it is, and it didn't all happen at once, where upon they then stated 'ok that's it, no more!' Rather, they kept doing it over time and they're still doing it - if it meets their agenda (whatever that is).
Though your comment is a perfect example of why people should READ things properly. The comment about revamping Kerra is silly and came from someone wasting our time.

Variance is a bad, not classic idea... this, however, only proves that they should stick to keeping it classic.

Variance = perfect example of non classic feature, and the logic to trying to stay ultra classic after the fact, is because they weren't classic in the first place, check.

New players can't afford ports? I give ports and buffs all the time for free.

Pray tell how they would know that?

Most tasks, such as travel, are arduously and illogically time-consuming in EQ. That's one of the reasons we play it.

When people say they like that you had to travel in EverQuest, they do not say 'I like the hard journeys in EverQuest, because take four hours.' They say that because it's in stark contrast to the single click world wide teleporting methods of modern MMOs which makes the world feel small. So do not misconstrue.

Not to mention, most items are icredibly underpriced. New players have it made.

No one was talking about items..but anyways the prices are far from underpriced across the board. We have this nasty habit of trying to stay soooo classic, that we model our pricing after live era in 1999-2001, instead of a proper dynamic market place based purely on P99's own variables. However I would agree that (especially because of Velious) prices on equipment that would normally be out of a new player's budget, are within reach.
I wouldn't say this is necessarily a good thing - it's the inverse of the above

Chardok and bard AOE kiting is incredibly overstated as well. All of these level 60s that people are churning out are the exact same people. Most players will never have the roughly 160k to blow or connections to level a char from 55-60 in Chardok.

So..on the one hand money isn't an issue, but yet on the other it is?

I've been playing P99 for... 6, 7 years now and still considering alts to make or gear to get (for my main). People playing P99 are playing it for nostalgia purposes, not new content. I would question the sanity of someone playing P99 for fresh content.

Where are you going with this, what has it to do with opening Surefall so we can increase general activity on Western Antonica? How is adding a small piece of content that came into live not long after anyways, to be considered as 'fresh'?
Your rhetoric and rebuttals seem left field and generic. I seemed to be feeling the need to say thanks for providing them, but it's entirely not constructive material.
