The essence and nature of this game is competitive and cooperative, at all levels from soloing, grouping, through raiding. Interaction is key in this Project, just as it is within all mmo's.
There's no denying it yet people still try to advocate for some bastardized hybrid template beyond simple meritocracy and interaction. Project 1999 would be a ghost town without competition and interaction, just like all the other emulators in existence.
@Ekco - Yes, Quake meta only devalues this entire Project and hastens its doom by rewarding all the instant gratification folks. They're incapable of "looking down the road" towards the eventual end of said road. Menden seems fine maintaining this course of action based upon past comments and current actions.
@Klaz - There's a reason why the military moves a recently promoted NCO from his team and former buddies in the lower enlisted bracket instead of leaving him there "in charge".
We're all just pissing in the wind anyways. It's not like customer service rep's nor admin care what we think about any of this. Sit back and enjoy the ride. /popcorn

In actual everquest, sold in a box and played by paying subscribers, there were new tiers of content released every year, so the most hardcore, to the most casual, had new content every year, just in the case of casuals it was several years and tiers below the cutting edge.
That's opposed to a raid rules only form of perma velious p99 where you'd have 1 guild (maybe 2) killing all the content across every expansion in the game within minutes of it popping, and everyone else having nothing to do. I don't know why you think that could work as a server.
