Well reasoned post. I agree popularity of P99 stems from one box and also I'd add from progress through the first two expansions only. PQ is testing the theory that a one box past Velious could be popular.
Most p99ers don't like boxing. That said those who like to multibox tend to enjoy higher APM play than EQ was designed for. These are playmakers in other games and find EQ slow. No judgement Trex. I like both P99 and TAKP. I've found more knowledgeable players there than here. The top players here have a political edge to them from all the UN shenanigans. The top players on TAKP understand the EQ world deeper.
All that said, you'd be surprised that something like 80% of p99 players would rather low APM warm body their way to DKP victory. They're watching Netflix. EQ is just their second distraction device.
