It's like they've just compressed the joy and tragedy of EverQuest's decline over 19 years into 6-12 months.

This quote says so much for OP to consider.
1.) Do you want the classic long term (2-3 years or more) feel, and are you ok with playing on a server:
- Where it will be FOREVER* time-locked in Velious (with still Chardok 2.0 revamp to see for the first time on P99
- Where P99 Server creators/devs/managers have all stated we will NEVER see Luclin, i.e. Cats on the moon, AA's, etc. on this server. *However it has been mentioned that possibilities do exist that they will down the road implement New Custom Content in the Spirit of classic EverQuest. (Classic-linked Planes of Power zones anyone??)
- Where a great and mostly supportive surrounding community with a realistic amount of players at every range of levels (arguably many more at max level though) still exist to this day. Many people start over characters from scratch even though they may have 2 or 3 max levels with years of raid gear on them to play
- Where the end game raid scene is very competitive (toxic?) and those who put in the most time, work, and resources get all of the end game raid mobs. Very few "welfare" opportunities for raiding will be found here
or
2.) Do you want a massively overcrowded server on day 1 (You will likely be in a queue for 2+ hours at launch)
- where you basically have to group (no one solos past like level 5, exp is not worth it. I am not certain, do Duo/Trios even exist on these or is it just totally not worth your while?) To me soloing is important and very relaxing. I cant count how many times I dont want to join a group and just solo farm an item, some plat, or even just exp
- Where a version of RMT (Real Money Trading) is basically part of the server economy, meaning he who blows the most RL money buying (or farming) DBG Kronos, gets the most toys.
- Where some of the most toxic people who literally come to these severs only to farm DBG Kronos, and box(there are still ways, even on a "true box" server) an entire group farming the biggest cash camps every expansion.
- Where MANY who hope to experience POP or LDON basically burns out from the awfulness and lack of any purpose to raiding after they hit Velious/Luclin end games. (Case in point: Agnarr launched May 2017, not even a year later I cant even keep track of how many from P99 left for Agnarr launch and came back since then, Agnarr is barely in Luclin still I think? with Planes of Power launching in April 2018? )
Obviously some of this is bias, but I really went in to detail and gave an honest opinion/viewpoint of what the DBG TLP Servers are like Vs. Project 1999 in its current state.
Good luck OP, may you enjoy EverQuest your way!
