. What I’m trying to say is that I want to play. I’m not a fan of sitting EC waiting for someone to have the piece I want or getting in 75+ person guild raid where my only relevance is to roll a high number or bid DKP more than someone else.

Well my dude you hit the nail on the head and it's a much bigger problem than simply opening another server - the culture of P99 has shifted so much since launch that nobody wants to "just play."
People came from WoW to this game now years ago and their only understanding of Everquest is what you have very accurately and succinctly pointed out as ~~~~~rAiDiNg~~~~~. They just get in line and bid DKP with no second thought. That is "playing" to them.
To a lot of old school EQ players who are excellent players and have encyclopedic knowledge yet don't have the same time they used to and/or don't give a shit about poopsocking dragons for DKP this is -not- their idea of "playing."
So idk, it's a tough situation really. Splitting and merging again won't happen and it would create a ton more toons for the ~~~~~rAiDeRs~~~~~ to have for their ~~~~~~~cOmPeTiTiOn~~~~~~~
I want to "just play" too and I do my best to do so. Which is why I have a pulse on how broke the "hoi polloi" is as well as the painfully evident shift in server culture. It's a tough spot man, the problem won't be "solved" because the average player on this server is fundamentally different not only than in 1999 but also in 2009.
