I think -- Part of the problem with the server congestion, is the fact that everyone is so geared there is no longer a requirement of a 6-man group, pretty much ever.. Certainly never for xp!

Side point: I always love the comparisons to classic eq when the p99 economy isn't considered.. I feel like eq was designed for everyone to rock a rusty dagger and shitty cloth clothes for a long time before they get real loots.. Like getting that first RMB from Solb.. such a cool feeling..

Having said the above, I've tried to re-roll naked on p99 a few times to bring back that first-time adventure back, but within a few days of farming silk and bone chips, then crafting javelins, you've got enough plat to fulfill all your twinking needs; having only actually looted maybe a few pieces yourself by the time you're raid ready.. NOT classic lol =)

Mind you.. the current 1700 players, plus whoever else starts up, might be tight in Antonica only.. but if that's the case then I would just vote for two servers to be put up
It sounds like you need to join Aud Laud Syne. Now to be clear I am not in any way affiliated with them (except that my guild raids with them sometimes), so I'm not trying to recruit you: it just sounds like the classic you want is exactly the classic they offer (ie. a classic economy).
