It's not intended to be "classic" in the way P99 approaches it. P99 does "classic"(just call it golden age EQ cuz its actually not classic!) better than any server out there. There's no disputing it. The problem lies at endgame. Its fucking testicular cancer. Why anyone would get a taste of it, and choose to stay there when there are better options for your EQ fix, i will never know. So thats where phin/agnarr come in. IMO they are adding the old models and whatnot just for that extra nostalgia kick. The game mechanics are completely different and are not intended to be classic in any way. Raiding is the big draw for me. Are you an adult with shit to do and can only raid on a schedule? You will like agnarr/phin if yes. QoL improvements are too numerous to name, but lets just say its less annoying to do shit in this version of EQ. I remember a point in P99's life where maps were enabled in the newb zones. I see why they removed them, but its just an example. Also, you cannot just spawn your own instance of any zone you want and just farm whatever. Once a zone reaches its threshold, another instance pops open, and you are able to /pickzone to it. I think the number is 40-45 or something? Thats assuming the zone you want is able to be instanced, which not all are. They also changed how this works recently so you cant just lock down a pick and farm shit.
