Did something happen?

I've noticed a lot of streamers playing on p99 in preparation for Pantheon. And in doing so they have realized that there is a reason why us crazy's still play p99 and they are staying.

There viewers are also sticking around.

I think it is a combination of visibility from Pantheon discord, Reddit r/mmorpg, and probably some streamers like acgamer.

I was pretty surprised by how sudden the recent upsurge in population is.... coincidentally, login issues started around the same time.

Definitely have noticed good bit of bigger names streaming it for the new year

Personally I started playing again because WoW has become a dumpster fire and the live EQ servers do nothing for me and I do not trust Daybreak as a company to right the ship. I think there are a lot of WoW refugees looking at other MMOs right now and those of us that played EQ back in the day are bound to find a home on blue, especially because of the agreement with Daybreak not to shutter it. Its a fun way to pass the time until pantheon or classic WoW

More like global cooling... thanks to the grand solar minimum. Parts of the world are getting snow that haven't seen snow since the last grand solar minimum that ended a couple hundred years ago.

Think of snow in the Karanas or G. Fay.

I volunteer at a developmentally disabled center and installed P99 on all the computers. I figured it would be good for the people to play a game with others whom share their level of capabilities.

For the most part yes a very popular WoW streamer with over 100K subs and active followers did a stream back in Novemberish??? playing p99. since then p99's noobie areas have been PACKED like 20+ in all noobie areas. Alot of his followers joined p99 due to no entry cost (free iso) of the disk's and free accounts, and they are sticking around and having fun word of mouth is getting out and the p99 server is starting to gain more and more every day it seems. with it being time locked server that top ends starting to get nasty again.

You that's why I left the progression server. Although it was nice to go from 1 to 60 in 2 weeks. It takes away the from the character being meaning full to me. Since I can relevel so quickly.
