If someone else makes a reputable vanilla only server, but fills it with more user friendly amenities then I'd probably give it a shot! But that is just not what p1999 is about...

This seems like the elephant in the room.
Look, everyone who wants "classic with QoL improvements" ... or even just "
not classic with QoL improvements" ... I think the chorus of complaints that come up
every. single patch. like. this. shows that there are
many, many players who would love such a server ...

... and yet ... no one has.
There's a ton of EQ emulator servers, yet not a single one with even a decent fraction of P99's population, and no custom content (with or without QoL stuff). That's probably related to the fact that all those other servers allow two-boxing and have crap support compared to P99.
It's easy to say "hey devs (who have put a decade of work into your passion project), do something different." But, so far at least, it has proven impossible for anyone to "do something different", in spite of the clear MASSIVE demand for such a server (hell I'd certainly play a PoP server, even with post-PoP QoL, if it was like P99).
Maybe, just maybe, it's literally impossible to make an unclassic successful emulated EQ server? Maybe no one else has the stomach/passion to make such a server: only the nutjobs (

A decade of EQEmu history certainly seems to suggest as much.
