Question from an old noob

[Rubulisk]

Hey guys just a quick question, this seemed like the best place to put it.

I used to play on p99 blue a few years back and came back for the anniversary weekend, started new toon and gave it what I could from my mid 30s Mage that hadn't been played since some time in 2012. Well, you all know what a mess this weekend was for some people with bard swarm kiting and similar things but what got me most is that I couldn't find a place where I wasn't competing with very twinked out characters for mobs/xp.
I've got no hate for twinks, if you want an alt and you've got 50k+ in the bank to buy nice gear to level quickly more power to you. It just isn't that fun when you're sitting at ramp in FoB and the other 3 level 5 toons have a combined 100k+ gear on them, just mashing through mobs.

My question is how does p1999 red compare with blue on this? I know its a newer server and I started on Tallon Zek back in 2000-2001 on live and enjoyed my time there. I know a new server with a blank slate for all players just isn't going to happen any time soon and I don't want one of the current servers to be wiped so newer people can get a fresh start with the community, the long time players have earned their possessions.

Thanks in advance for any replies on this, from what I can see on the forum here p1999 red looks like it may be the best choice for what I'm looking for.
