If you played classic, you must have forgotten. When Township Rebellion started running around Velious and Luclin with 50 players, they were universally ridiculed.

However, this was always going to be the fate of Project 1999. There are too many knowledgeable raiders trying to play here. The server is unavoidably top heavy.

If it were my call, I'd turn Red 99 into a second PVE server with just classic at the same time Velious releases. I don't hate on PVP, but the red population just doesn't warrant the resource. I think P99 with Velious and new server with classic time line progression would both be even more popular than the very successful blue server is now. Luckily, there are some smart people working on this project and I suspect they have something similar in mind.

1000x this. The 14 year old elf simulator is simply too powerful compared to the original. Bringing 45 to a dragon raid would mean... horrible black screen of death in 1999. This never gets mentioned enough. If you weren't top in the server at your class... an uber guild had 0 use/space for you.

would be pretty sweet if they opened a new blue server by the same crew. Maybe with some different raid rules so it doesnt get turned into a cellphone ringing raiding scene.

I think OP has some great ideas, and I'm sure the development team will give those ideas the time and attention they deserve!

I can see his point, but there were 101 better ways to approach the thread... the idea is what's causing the rustled jimmies I think.
