1) Highly unlikely with a "true-box" system, but sure, maybe there will be a few. Just remember that this costs $90/mo to actually accomplish. So yeah that's like your opinion
2) I know they said this, but I fully expect to get a GM presence of some kind similar to the other TLP's. So more of your own speculation even in the face of what the actual company said, k.
3) Lol yeah, no different than here. So like more opinion, cept its just plain wrong again. P99 has had multiple massive suspension/wave bans and also have a anti-cheat .DLL that comes packaged with the installation.I'm sure on a server that they said will have no GM intervention their really going to be on top of this.
4) See above answer. Yes RMT has reared its ugly head on this server. However,
like above, people have been banned for this and again on a server with zero GMs I don't see that enforcement happening. Also, with the Krono system there's an incentive there that's not on this server.

5) I play Red so it won't be worse than that XP boost and, frankly, XP is not something I was ever concerned about with "Classic". More personal opinion which is fine but one of the things that is synonymous with true classic EQ is how much of a grind it was and that appeals to a lot of the veterans. Also, you play Red lulz, no wonder.
6) Better than years of the same expansion (Ohai Kunark).Deflection, no dispute to the original claim. I would daresay most of the casuals actually prefer slower timelines than faster ones, especially the super hyper timelines these progressions servers have.Not to mention LDON, ewwww but that's just like my opinion,man. Though, I'm pretty sure the consensus was most people hate it too.
7) You're confused. Melee are utter garbage to start. Casters reign supreme. Both melee and casters are unbalanced in early game, not sure if you have played a progression before. I had wizard rain spells that did several waves of hundred point damage that made early mobs trivial. So yes balance issues are a legit concern.
8) Got me here. Tons of QoL stuff in-game. Not classic but again some will like some won't.
9) I'm not certain that's true. Manastone and Guise will still drop upon release. Going off other progression servers, it would seem like Legacy items will drop for a short period of time.
10) I think it's more likely things that are normally quite expensive will be much less so. Or sell for Kronos.
11 & 12) I combined these because I legitimately think you have no idea what you're talking about. Bosses that received buffed values are not instanced. Open world dragons are not instanced. I would say only about half the raid content is instanced. Not to mention EVERY single instanced version of a raid ALSO has a contested "Classic" version as well. Instanced EQ is a preference thing but still just seems to against everything that is classic EQ.
13) Oh you were just trolling this whole time. Because this shitbox is perfect and the raid scene isn't completely toxic at all. Hakubi's post was void of the language you used here and was pretty well thought out with valid concerns, some that you couldn't even dispute. Also, you play on Red so yeah.


The ONLY downside to the TLP's is that they haven't made a PvP one yet.
Don't really get why people have a problem with which servers people play on. Go play on whichever server you choose,to each their own, doesn't mean you have to trash any server. These devs volunteer their time to give us the closest thing to classic EQ and its had a steady and healthy population for like 8 years now so its obviously not a "shitbox" like you called it, then again you play on Red so I can understand that. Still not a reason to sound like an ungrateful mad person and insult their work.Why can't you just simply go play on the Daybreak servers and not trash this one. I honestly hope you enjoy your time there. Good day sir.
