I'm dubious as to the effect Alternate Advancement would have on P1999. We have a fairly closed community here (relative to Live during this period) and I suspect it'd turn the lower level game into a ghost town.

LDoN was amazing because it allowed you to log in and play within minutes. Before LDoN you were forced to often sit LFG for an hour +, then you had to get there, get COTH'ed or set up, buff up, etc., etc., only for the group to break up shortly after. LDoN offered quick groups of predictable duration where everyone got a reward, and offered the very fun hard mode LDoN's.
