You need to have dynamic content or it doesn't work. p1999 could be a relatively huge game with a constant 10k+ population (more servers would need to open obviously) if you stopped with this futile attempt of simply cloning the shell of EQ as it was over a decade ago. Use the Everquest World as it was intended to be used and create a real living, breathing, ever-changing gaming environment. It would be a smash and people who want to relive "the classic Everquest experience", or experience it for the first time, would get far more out of it and continue playing for far longer than what we are currently seeing.

Well, this is a good idea for a server where the intention is to make a classic style EQ server
with enhancements according to "the vision" of whomever is building and maintaining the server. You (and others) frequently forget the very clearly stated goal of this sever which is to recreate the EQ environment as close as possible to the original (warts and all). The other goal states that the server goes to Vellious and ends there. Any discussion outside of this fails to accept these stated goals. Nilbog does not want to improve the graphics, the quests, the balancing issues, or change things to match what he "feels" it should have been. He wants to clone what once was and for most of us, that's fine.
I have had my disagreements with some decisions since the changes seemed needless and introduced problems which were later admitted to by Verant/SOE on live and fixed (racial / class XP penalties for example). In the end though, I do realize that these changes are in line with the clearly stated vision for the server and grudgingly accept that the change is here to stay.
Perhaps someone will make a classic style EQ server with the fixes and enhancements and changes to fit his or her vision of how EQ classic should have been but it's not going to be on P1999.
