He does have some merit to the point that P99 (and other emulated servers in general) are more difficult to install than other software, which is typically just an installer with an automated patcher. I agree it isn't super challenging, and the guides are pretty clear. But it is a bit of a pain for first time users, and plenty of people have abandoned software for lesser infractions lol.
However, ShampooChicken may not know this is generally the problem with this kind of emulated MMO software. The P99 developers do NOT have access to the source code of the client, and therefore must employ non-standard methods to get the client working with their server. You do not normally develop software this way, and thus it will not follow the standard people are used to.
Sadly there isn't any way to fix this barrier to entry, unless whoever owns the Everquest IP gives the P99 developers the source code for the client. It is simply a technical issue baked into the cake.
