Cuz you're comparing a personal project done for free to a paid position at a business.

Most of the actors in GM events were unpaid volunteer guides. They did it because they loved it and wanted to give something back to the EQ community. Seems to me that P1999 is a volunteer organization as well but with little to no emphasis on recreating the dynamic quests and events that were a significant part of EQ live. That is just an honest observation.
On EQ live they had a special guide organization called the Quest Troupe. These were highly skilled and dedicated guides who were experts at acting and role-playing. They helped to advance that notion that Norrath was a living and breathing virtual world. They played the roles of special characters including deities in the Norrath pantheon. This organization of guides went to each and every server doing live events and quests under the supervision of the EQ live lore team and a few GMs.
If you and others are going to make the case that P1999 in its present state is classic EQ then you need to look at the entire picture of what constitutes the classic EQ experience. Classic EQ is much more then emulating the original EQ up to Velious with all of its zones, mob populations and mechanics.
P1999 players are hungry for new content and dynamic content just as the players back on EQ live were back in the day. The OP made a worthwhile suggestion and I respectfully hope that the good people in charge of P1999 would start embracing some of these solutions.
We're all in this together, so let's work together as a community of passionate EQ loving gamers to make things better!
