Normally, I'd be agreeing with you here Hitchens. But we just happen to be right on the edge of a singularly unique event. The closing of an entire EQ server with no recourse for that servers population. Normally when SOE closes a server, they merge it with another server, preserving that population, their characters, their items, and all of their time and hard work. In this case though, that cannot happen. These people are screwed and homeless, AND they play EQ. In fact, they play an EQ that is closer to P1999 than any other Live server out there. These folks, baring the issues with getting the game to run on a different OS, are a perfect fit for P1999. Think of this as a Perfect Storm. We can either ride the wave and haul in a lot of people who I truly think would be very interested in what we have to offer, or we can just watch the majority of them go elsewhere with their gaming time. Personally, I've always been of the opinion that you strike when the iron is hot.
Think of it this way... Do you want to go salmon fishing anytime, or when the fish are spawning? Hint: You'll catch a lot more when they are spawning.
