from everything ive heard (and granted i dont play so i could be wrong), it seems lots of issues reported in "beta" still exist.

Yeah, I've heard the same from a few friends who beta'd. The exp gain on beta was super high (on purpose), so the early stuff wasn't tested much. Some of it was reported, but most of the focus was apparently on tuning higher end dungeons and raid mobs. I've also heard that while it should now be functional, that the balance is probably still pretty far off (too easy / too hard). My guess is it'll be very exploitable too.

people are allowed to 4 box (sorry, 2 people per connection are allowed to 2 box... lol).

Meh, no different than people playing with their "girlfriend / wife" on P99. I'm sure you guys work to crack down on that, and I'm sure they will too.

I got an IP exemption and tried to get my wife to play a cleric, but she refused. Oh well.

no offense intended, but until their devs learn how to track MQ/SEQ as well as illegal boxing, this server will be a cesspool of kids that were banned from p99 for cheating. evidenced by the fact the person behind this server only created it because he was banned from p99.

Depends on who you talk to. That's one story, the other story is that he was using MQ/SEQ to gather data to put into his own server, that he was already building. That also would go with the "Toop stole data/code from P99" (which obviously isn't true in the way that was intended, or else things would be in a LOT better shape on Sleeper, heh).

As far as "cesspool" of cheaters...that's a way off statement. Most of the people are just...people. Same as here. I'm sure some banned P99'ers will show up there, obviously. I guess they're given a chance to not do it again (or not get caught). Many of P99 top-end raiders are cheaters too, and P99 lost a lot of integrity when they weren't given the ban-hammer for it. Now they know P99 has the detection, so they do it on alt accounts and through proxies. It still happens.

Even then, it's all of matter of "which cesspool do you prefer"?

P99
-Miserable childish raid scene (I haven't been on the forums for a long time, for shits-and-giggles I dipped into RnF, same thing - every kill, there's a thread, and shitting on one another, trains, bickering, etc, the drama never ends or grows up)
-Very stale content (I think visibility into progress on Velious would help)
-Jacked twink-laden economy (top-end stuff is perma-camped and way too expensive for new people)
-Raid scene is only for the hardcorest of poopsockers and trainers
-We were told that variance would be shortened and we'd get simulated patch-day resets, instead variance was made longer
+Levels 1-59 content is very well done, and very Classic-like, if you can find a group
+Server is very stable
+Low/mid level gear is cheap

Sleeper
-Still in a rough beta, not fixing issues near fast enough
-Horrible, horrible, horrible forums
-Exp needs about a 30% boost
-Easier for cheaters to persist at this time
-A lot of downtime lately
+Fresh server
+Those "limited time" items are available, always fun
+2-boxing is a positive for most people
+New content (Warrens + Velious)

You really are a fucking idiot aren't you. You'll fit right in among the trash players of The Sleeper, enjoy

This is an example of the bad attitude and immaturity a lot of P99 players have. Unfortunately it's also the most vocal type and can overshadow the good ones.
