It's almost like there is a reason why every single major MMORPG (including Everquest) instanced content from 2003 onward.

This server intends to mimic (mostly) Everquest from a mechanical perspective in the appropriate era. 7 day respawns that drop 2-4 loot for 80 players. These problems are inherent with EQ of this era - there isn't enough content on the high end.

It's unlikely to change.
Don't like it? Play TAKP, P2002, Phinigel, etc.

Later MMOs instituted instanced content because it was cheaper to administer, not because it was inherently better.

You could have automated quakes every 7 days or so and no need for instances. It would still be open world competition.

The second issue is that blue is overpopulated. P99 would do better to shutter red and open another blue server. Red servers were never more than 10% of the playerbase on live either.
