For the few people saying "Classic Everquest wasn't competitive", you're just not accepting the reality.
The entire game, in the "Classic" era and all the way through PoP, was designed to be competitive.
Every single aspect of this game is competitive, by its very nature, then you add a time locked server and that design will naturally magnify. This is the natural evolution of what "Classic" would have been had Smedley and company decided to take their time and not kill the game with half-assed and quick release expansion drops with little to no meaningful content. That was the number one factor and final nail in the coffin which every player on live could see, clear as day.
I can't believe there are people that have played here for years and don't recognize that this game, in era, has always been and will always be competitive. If you don't like competition, then you're playing the wrong game and/or server.
Stop your bitching and moaning at the owners of this server and those that work to facilitate and enjoy this goal immensely in an attempt to go against the very essence of what a successful Everquest was, and what Project 1999 is.
Sorry to detour your cheating dialogue, please continue.

I don't think they had any idea how the game would turn out when they designed it. Everquest became competitive, and the people developing it themselves were divided on how to approach it. The technology didn't exist at the time to do instancing, which is eventually the direction MMOs moved toward. It appears though that the community is and always has been split on instancing/competition in EQ and P99 is a reflection of that split.
