I'll tell ya it's quite interesting how closely ClassicWOW has come to resemble P99. Groups now level only via AOE dungeon groups - you sit at the dungeon entrance and a level 60 clears the dungeon for your (after you've paid them, of course). The highest end guilds clear all the hard raid content, then you walk in and loot your items (after you've paid them, of course) etc etc

Classic WoW has instanced raids that are harder (at least Naxx is supposedly hard, moreso expensive in regards to consumables), but classic WoW currently was ruined by 2 things that also ruin EQ Live TLP servers: 1. RMT and 2. Bots
All raids are now GDKP (gold DKP), meaning step 1 is buy 50,000+ gold from websites. Step 2 is get into one of these raids where a core group of raiders carries a bunch of whales through the raid. Then bid your bought gold on items as they drop. The most expensive item I think went for like 185,000 gold or something like that
So unless you buy gold, you will likely never save enough to be able to get any items, and since there are so many GDKP raids, normal guild runs are dying out. Also, botting is rampant. Bots fly hack and run under the ground. Bots are running on scripts 24/7. It is almost impossible to find certain materials used in high end flasks because the bots have them locked down 24/7. And blizz, just like daybreakgames for EQ, won't ban the bots or deal with the bot problem because bots = money for them
EQ TLP is full of bot armies, all scripted to lock a particular zone down and farm it 24/7, then sell items for Krono (real $$). So these games have their own problems. Hopefully P99 never gets that bad
