Prob is, most I think that are playing p99 were like 5yrs old in 1999 or not even born yet. A lot of people I speak to in-game are coming from games like WoW, their bored, just want something free to play. The greatest missing element is the classic population, that you cannot replace with another mindset of players. Sure there were still problems, but not nearly as exponential as it is here for a host of reasons.

eh totally understand the connection/similarity between no-maps and having attunable items. I'm no nostalgic player at all, I play for the gameplay which is lost in modern games. Both make the game more challenging. I understand the mind-set of opponents though, that they want their f2p game to be easy, because their real time investment is with like WoW (though they claim to be EQ vets). But I roll with the nostalgic concept, because that is what there is, I know it, even though it's not quite coded right here and certainly has an odd player base for the most part.
