Lots of great points here both pro and con. P1999 is amazing in many ways as it brings us back to what EQ live used to be like. But I think EQ Live was better. Here are some my reasons:
- Rigid interpretation of what constitutes classic EQ means we are frozen at Velious
- Limited meaningful admin and dev dialogue with the playerbase
- High level farmers camping named mobs in every zone which has created mudflation that has ruined the "classic EQ" experience as most newbies are twinked to the hilt
- Powerleveling is everywhere
- Bard swarm kiting
- Except for once a year on Halloween, no GM and Guide quests/events on P1999
- Not enough content for level 60 players
