I think it's safe to say that most players on P99 have at least some experience on the original, with most being in the more experienced camp. I don't think anyone suggested that a wipe would be some magical time machine back to when it was all noobs, so I'm not sure what your angle is with that argument because this seems fairly obvious to me.

What can be done though is to create the most classic experience possible, and if everyone was in cloth with rusty short swords, regardless of experience, it would go a long way towards that goal. That's great you enjoy playing with a bunch of lower level twinks, but again it's not classic.

And I still haven't heard anyone comment on why they would want to enter Velious basically in ez mode with a bunch of overgeared 60s. Oh that's right you aren't interested in the end game raiding. Which to me sorta limits the credibility of your arguments because you are dismissing a major aspect of the game.
