The argument can be made that P99 itself has nothing to do with friendliness towards the casual player, and the reason why it's "not that kind of game" is strictly because of a subset of players trying to be sweaty tryhards on an emulated server of a 23-year-old game.
If you remove players of that mindset from the game, P99 *could* be casual friendly.
Don't put that blame on P99.

No, P99 is not a casual friendly game. Why is this? No instancing. Even if you removed all of the try-hard players tomorrow, it wouldn't change the difficulty of the game for casual players. Spawn timers are still long, loot is rare, and popular camps will be camped during peak hours, which is when casual players generally play. If the majority of casual players play between 6pm-9pm, and most players become casual, then for all intents and purposes popular camps would still be inaccessible to them, as the lines would be too long to get through in just a few hours, unless you get insanely lucky with spawn and drop rates.
Instancing is how games have fixed the try-hard problem, but P99 will never enact instancing. Why? Because that takes P99 much closer to a direct competitor with the TLP servers. While P99 currently has a friendly relationship with the Everquest IP owners, that doesn't mean the Dev's can't piss them off lol.
Finally, most players do not want instancing anyway, and the proof is in P99 being alive for 10+ years.

Sorry you like having bad information
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Hope this helps. I honestly don't understand why people think they are hurting the other party when they say they haven't read what they wrote. It is just showing everybody you can't be bothered to engage with other people. How can anyone expect you to give a correct response to their post if you don't even read it lol? It reminds me of the kids in middle school who think they are cool because they are getting failing grades. If you can't be bothered to read, why do you bother to post?
