This gets back to my original point. You're right that there will always be players who fall under the "Killer" archetype, ie. people that want to play a certain way. But
the game decides how those players get to realize those urges.
A good/team-based PvP approach channels such players: they become a part of the game for players on the opposing team to overcome. Also, typically such games ensure a baseline level of fairness: a level 60 in WoW can't show up at the level 1 zones and start killing at will, because the game prevents it.
Without that though, in a free for all system, the natural playstyle such "Killer" players will gravitate towards is "griefing" ... which is no fun for anyone but the griefer.

Thanks Loramin, I appreciate the honest reply. I'm also surprised that it's all physically hosted, a rarity these days!

Yeah Rogean is "old school" in many ways, not just when it comes to EQ

Seriously though, I get the impression he already has a cage in a datacenter for non-P99 reasons (eg. his real business). If said cage happens to have room for a few P99 servers, that's very likely the most cost efficient way to run this place (better than even AWS I'd imagine).
