It has multiple reasons which I won't go in to, but predominantly restricting us from VP until we burnt out from killing weekly Trakanons, until a second guild was keyed for over 9 months stuck the knife in deep. It forced the top guild to become the co-top guild, due to burnout on our part, and a massive steam engine of fresh blood on tmo's part. I don't hate them for it, they did and still do very well. But in no way were they competition especially if VP was opened to us when it should of been. This bottleneck was the start of a long list of problems emerging resulting in a highly inflated 60 raid presence, and ultimately a sour grapes situation.

The other key point of p2k would be we (neckbeards) don't have multiple 60's. We would still be on top no matter where (as players, not guilds!, there is a natural order you fall in based on personality/commitment/playtime/knowledge/friends). But the entire server would still be open to everyone else, and I honestly believe we could create a sharing and open way to play the game at all levels.

The lower and mid tier of the game gets better as it takes more people, more groups etc to achieve things. Unlike now when I can go and 3 man prot/tola with ease and redundancy, it takes groups to do the same on a new server, still in crustacean shell armour etc as we leveled up with velious available. The spread of people also would go a long way to avoid conflict, as camps are far more open with velious available as an alternative to KC for pugs. It's just something I, not anyone else can possibly ever experience on p1999 now or ever.
