Right now it's incredibly easy for a new player to break into P99. Gear is cheap, mobs are still loot pinatas, leveling is fast, and there are plenty of places to go and kill stuff. And people are still bitching about places being too crowded and gear being too expensive. Can you imagine how fun RnF will be when literally every decent camp in the game is perma locked down by the top nolifers and people log on for weeks at a time without being able to progress all while watching item prices skyrocket beyond anything they could hope to attain while being a functional human being? How many rusty weapons do you need to sell to save up 25k for an FBSS?

I think you're blowing it out of proportion, but yes this is exactly why I look forward to green server. I want something like a classic progression, and I would argue it is impossible on this server.

While leveling my first toon to 60, I had a couple k in gear dropped on me by strangers. It was very welcome but at the same time made the game easier. You might ask "why didn't you just refuse it?", but that would have been pointless. If I really want classic progression, I'd have to only group with people who don't engage in twinking. But with so much good gear cheaply available as Jimjam pointed out, there's no way to avoid grouping with people with "out-of-progression" gear, and thus no way to have a classic progression experience. The longer a server drags on in the limbo of velious endgame, the further from classic progression players can ever achieve. Really the only way to achieve a classic progression is to start everyone from 0. I honestly don't care if 100 people make a third of LGuk unplayable because they want manastones, guises and FBSSs, I'll just avoid them and enjoy the remaining 99% of the game.
