Hey Tuurin! The main reason that I believe many "normal" folks get PL'd is to get caught-up (level-wise) on a certain character so that they may group with their friends.
For instance, if you and your buddies were all around level 30 and a new friend wanted to start a cleric, the new friend would have a difficult time "quickly" soloing the cleric up high-enough to be able to group. He'd likely have to group with strangers via PUGs and would still probably be lagging behind in levels for the foreseeable future.
Thus (or "instead"), if the buddies all pitch-in and PL the new cleric, everyone will be able to group-up sooner. My example is pretty specific to playing with real-life friends and/or people that you played with (on live) back in 1999 that are just now getting into p99.
Basically, the nostalgia that my buddies and I are specifically going for is being able to *group up together,* just like we did as zit-faced teenagers. But yeah, in my opinion, PL'ing should never disrupt the zone and/or get in the way of normal EXP groups and individuals
