It was entertaining-ish to start a character (yes A character, fuck boxing) on here, but mostly just because of the random stuff that is different from what I'm used to. Meditate at level 1, level 2 mobs with 50 hp, gate guards that apparently hit for about 50, only making 3 gold in the time it took me to make 3 (I only saw one decaying skeleton with a weapon and I must have killed 20+ of them, none with pack drops, only got like 12 bonechips and a handful of copper), bunches of non-classic features like find and compass and starting off with a backpack and bandages and other little random crap like that. But it would have been just as entertaining, imo, to start a non-twink on p99, since the mechanics would be correct and the bugs few and far between.
As much as Chellsea claims the pop is fine, there are only 100 characters online right now less /role and /anon, I guess, and probably half of those are being boxed... so you're looking at MAYBE 100 actual players.
I know it's only 9 am est, but this is 9 hours after the server launch. This should be the highest pop 9 am the server ever sees. And yet it currently has only about 1/3 the players online that p99 blue has.
