live progression servers will always be shit. they haven't learned yet after 20 years that all the expansions to the game were its downfall. new live server releases new expansion every 12 weeks meaning that you will never have time to fully enjoy the content.
On live you find that every player has been on there since 2000 or they are less then 1 month. On p99 we have a healthy mix of 1 day olds on up to multi year vets, but due to the way the game works (non instanced dungeons and raids with long / random respawn times) all end up playing mostly happily together, enjoying all the content. On live 90% power through the content never leaving the hot zone path and and then the next expansion drops, while the noobs stagger around blind for a month or 2 then quit. The game content (on live) is only 10% utilized and also players of different categories (noob / vet, casual / hardcore) rarely intermingle with each other or socialize, leaving nearly all zones (even hot zones) feeling empty and dead.
Plenty of ppl have semi valid complaints about p99 of course, but nearly all of them result from being at odds with the way the game was designed to be played.
