Quality post, I'm in the same boat. P99 has become a custom EQEmu server and is no longer attempting to recreate classic.
Channeling proves this to me. Proof provided that P99 channeling is obscenely far away from classic values and the staff just lets the bug report fade away with not even a single comment. We put tons of work into researching bugs and figuring things out and it just sits there. Devs occasionally making a "fixed pending update" response to some trivial bullshit bug and leaving the major issues to fester unaddressed.
There is no point hearing endless morons try to justify how it's just slow computers or player knowledge that explains how channeling rates at level 1 on P99 are 50-70% successful compared to 10% on live. Such a core mechanic like this being overlooked shows no one is interested in classic EQ anymore.
Classic EQ is too hard and takes too much time to get raid pixels so we'll just smooth some of these rough edges so the raid scene can be a boring bottlenecked cluster fuck that no one enjoys but is fully available to even the dumbest greenest newb to EQ after a couple weeks of playing. WoW players don't like a 10% chance to cast a spell in combat when they start, they won't play if we fix it.

I believe the staff has said that channeling is something to do with the client code or something like that and not something that’s easily fixable at all. So go on keep criticizing them for something they can’t do anything about.
At any rate if you dislike P99 so much go play another server. Not like you contribute much positive here
