Put another way, what are we doing on this server to help lower the barrier of entry for new players so we can draw them to the game we love, and be successful by eventually reaching their goals and the goals of their peers?
As I've stated numerous times: mid-tier gear is undervalued on this server. You can wear mid-tier guild until you replace it with planar+ and still be successful at Everquest. There are also many helpful players that give out gear, buffs, and coin as "pay-it-forward" actions. Porters are usually very friendly and helpful to newbies as well.

On the flip side, are we doing anything to make this more difficult than it needs to be? Overall, do we even want new players on the server? This isn't just a question about me.
This server always wants new players. The real turn-off that I can see about P99 is the raid scene. The leveling/grouping has been awesome in my experience.
