While the idea of sending raid alts to another server like some kinda Logan's Run shtick just the idea of splitting populations is another bad idea.
But as much as I hate to bring up a forum favorite meme, coming late to the party while everyone is in their fancy crusty armor at level 1 or epic'ed by 46 is.. classic as fuck. The whole server should not get wiped or split every time someone finds out about p99

Significant flaw here.
The alt-twinking was nowhere as bad on LIVE as it is here on P99.
After 5 years on LIVE Golden Age of EQ was already over, and people went over to play WoW and EQ2. And 9 expansions were out by that time.
Why does this matter? It matters because if some person would play exact same hours back then as today he would put it mostly towards developing his main, and MOST players hardly ever had more than 1-2 mains, and there was ALWAYS ton of things to catch up specially with AAs out. Getting to 65 was easy. Getting 600+ AA to be accepted in PoP-3 guilds wasn't. (or 2,000+ AAs for elemental tier)
People were VERY busy maxing out their main char and not playing many alts. They simply didn't had the time. I mean sure there were bunch of lev 5-15 alts stuck in noob zones but that as far as they went. (mostly)
On P99 people hit end game YEARS ago. And competition for raids is INSANE (on LIVE this high competition for Kunark and Velios was only for 2 years, because then there was Luclin, and then PoP which introduced gazillion of new raids, and top guilds moved on, making room for lesser guilds to advance).
So what do top players do on P99 when no raids are up? They level up yet ANOTHER alt.
And the maxed out alts will continue to pile up because there is nothing else to do. Unless there is new content or server reset. (personally I am in favor of new content rather than reset)
