It just strikes me as counter to the real draw of P99 to not have the Warders up. The draw of P99 is to get to experience all of the great things from original EQ that have since been removed, nerfed, or dumbed down in the years that followed.
We talk about keeping thins "Classic" but what was decidedly not classic was having a top tier guild with years to accumulate BiS Kunark gear, all with a decade or more of raiding experience, and a full knowledge of all tactics and strategies required to clear out all Velious content just waiting for the starting gun to fire so they could rush to ST.
I am not saying the crew from Ramp didn't work their asses off, they did, but P99 is missing an enormous chunk of end game content that was never intended to be gone so soon.
I wonder, if such a mechanic had existed in Kunark, and the moment you killed Phara Dar the VP dragons never re-spawned again, would P99 have ever survived this long without it?
