Nope they're mostly talking about P99 having "as volatile a raid scene as you'll ever find" on the Agnarr community forum. Over on the official EQ forums they're mostly talking about P99 being ruined by lawyerquesting and neckbeards cockblocking everything.

Raiding raiding raiding. It's like the only "criticism" people ever have for p99. And even then, it's not really even a complaint about p99 as much as the people who participate in a particular, limited part of p99. Such a weak whine about the best place to play the closest thing to classic EQ that is possible in 2017.
P99 is fucking classic as all fuck.
Hell, even when it comes to people who say "well I can't play like I used to now that I have a job and kids, so a lack of instancing and cooperation in the raid scene means all of P99 is just horrrrible!!!" ... bullshit. When you were 14 and playing on live, you were in school as much as you work now. You didn't have kids or a mortgage, but you had sports, family dinners, friends outside of EQ, dialup that you couldn't use when your Mom wanted to make a phone call, the neighbor's lawn to mow so you could afford your $9.89/month and the newest xpac at $40 or whatever, etc.
The whole "being a grown up means I need live amenities in order to enjoy EQ like I did back in the day" is an attempt to avoid admitting that you really just want more convenience (which is, of course, a decidedly un-classic thing), since it's not like your RL back in the day didn't get in the way of your raiding as much as your RL today does.
All that said, I'll try this stupid Agnarr server. Phinigel was pretty impressive when I looked at its population compared to p99 last night, even taking into account how many people were just AFK in the bazaar. It's not like you can't play most things on Agnarr AND on p99 at the same time if you want to without breaking a sweat. God knows I'm tempted to do a melody bard and a wizard on Agnarr while I keep playing Noman on P99.
