I don't know why you all are giving the OP shit. He made some valid points. You should earn what you get in game. In any game really. I also get why they made the changes they did. People weren't pulling the crap on live back then that some of them do now. Not really. Honestly though I think everyone should wait and see how it actually works in game before forming an opinion about whether or not it is a good or bad idea. I'm just saying.

We can already tell how it will work, though, at least according to what was written.
Items only drop a particular # of times per day. If getting an item is determined by remaining online and "non afk", then a non-neckbeardy player is inherently never going to be able to get certain items, so long as the minimum wait time is something like 24+ hours (which is already a very conservative estimate for what you can expect when arriving to a certain camp with a list going).
Neckbeardy players who share accounts can hand off their list spot and just keep bringing different accounts/characters to the camp, while people who don't do that will inherently be removed from this impossible-to-achieve list, since no normal player is going to stay logged on for such long periods of time.

As someone else pointed out OP, you can sit this one out in protest, and so can anyone else who feels the need to be an utter and complete dick about a bunch of circa 1999 pixels on a computer screen.

Nobody is being a "complete and utter dick". The issue here is history and what is correct. When people try to incorrectly portray history, it's not a problem that you fix by "sitting out" and staying silent. That doesn't change things. p99 describes itself as trying to be a museum of the game as it existed back then. If you are a museum of American history, for example, and you try to intentionally leave out the American Civil War as something which happened, that's a big yikes. And that's what is happening here right now, on p99.
Also, I wasn't going to play Green server regardless, so long as it was only static recreation of the outdated game code. There's just no point for me, unless my friends wanted to try it for the first time. In that case I could have found enjoyment in getting to see friends experience a new EQ server for the first time, and follow along with their journey.
